Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 340.65
Severity: important
After trying to install the nVidia binary driver (340.65) from the Debian
repositories (or even the installable package from the nVidia web site).
The graphics card is nVidia NVS 5200M.
uname -a:
Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt2-1 (2014-12-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Install goes OK - apt-get install logs:
http://pastebin.com/86zZPbQn
Install suggests reboot to enable the driver.
I ran 'nvidia-xconfig' just before so I have a good xorg.conf.
NOTE that even deleting the xorg.conf will not startx.
The nvidia-xconfig generated xorg.conf:
http://pastebin.com/jgnXTggt (seems totally fine)
After reboot Xorg won't start. Error in Xorg.log is: "[6.102] (EE) no screens
found(EE)"
Full Xorg.0.log:
http://pastebin.com/3kVwLxAZ
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log:
http://pastebin.com/aWyi9DSv (seems totally fine)
System will default to the nouveau driver and I have graphics but from the
Intel HD graphics. I cannot run the
lspci | grep -i vga:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor
Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [NVS 5200M] (rev
a1)
(1) NOTE that I seem to have EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with the latest nvidia
binary on Wheezy! Got an update a while back and applied it. Blank screen
afterwards & the same error in Xorg.0.log (I have two separate installs running
on the same machine)
(2) NOTE that other people seem to have a similar problem but after updating
from wheezy too:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735424
(3) NOTE that the binary from nvidia's web site causes the same problem.
Do I need to provide any more information?Notify me please.

No, there isn't a way to remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau without
also removing the task-gnome-desktop package, but note that
task-gnome-desktop is just a metapackage and does not actually contain
gnome.
Blacklisting nouveau should suffice, no need to actually remove the package.

Closing as requested, thanks!
