I rebooted to run level 3.
How are you rebooting to runlevel 3?
Powering down and back up.
I ran nvidia-switch --remove
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy390-driver ...
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy390-kernel ...
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy340-driver ...
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy340-kernel ...
All four completed, although the 390 kernel complained that some files
were in use. I assume they were also there as part of the 340 package.
I deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and a few backups with that name included.
I deleted the nouveau blacklist file from /etc/modprobe.d
Then I rebooted, or at least tried to.
I watched as the system shut itself down. But when I started it back up,
I saw a little graphic in the upper left corner of my DVI monitor blink
between Analog and Digital a few times, and then stop. No response to
the keyboard. When trying to ssh in, I got the message:
dick@ENU-1:~$ ssh [email protected]
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.134 port 22: No route to host
Make sure your host really is at 192.168.0.134. That looks like a DHCP
address, so it can change unless you configured it specifically not to on
your router.
I have that set in the router.
I can still boot from the install USB stick, which is what I expect I'll
need to do next.
Recommendations on what else to do next?
I really want to know what you mean by "rebooted to runlevel 3". What is
inittab currently set to?
You had me set inittab to 3 several threads ago and said I should leave
it there until things work right.
- reinstall the base distribution packages that were overwritten
slackpkg reinstall xorg-server libdrm mesa
I also did that before powering down the last time.
Ok that's odd.
When you boot up, does it go straight to a black screen?
You need to sit there and watch it. Either it boots, gives you a wall of
scrolling text and then a black screen..
OR, it boots, and immediately goes to a black screen after the kernel loads.
If the former, then I know what's going on.
Well, it heard you talking about it, booted normally and gave me a login
prompt. I logged in as rsteff and the DVI monitor came up with the
normal stuff. The VGA monitor remains blank, as in no signal. I don't
recall that happening before.
So, is there a way to get two monitors working at this point?
