Re: [arch-general] Linux still at 4.2, but nvidia and virtualbox compiled for 4.3?

Which makes my problem as complicated as I thought it was before I found this (i.e. an actual driver problem instead of a packaging mistake). Thanks for the attention, João Miguel

Rereading this thread, it seems not only hadn't I read the email before I had the problem, I didn't even read it properly afterwards... I thought I might have had those errors and hadn't read them, but upon inspection of /var/log/pacman.log, it turns out there were actually no errors. Given the case, and since I'm in no emergency (have downgraded the packages, can use the X, although graphical acceleration does not work), I'll make a new thread asking why do I get the problem I described with the most recently packaged kernel and nvidia drivers, searching for it more adequately first. Sorry if I wasted your time, false alarm, I was simply distracted. Twice. João Miguel

Laurent fixed the nvidia package the same day (22 Nov.), which is in [extra] now. There shouldn't be any problems with the current package.

Boy, I wish I was as cautious as you before updating... I was about to post that after updating nvidia drivers, trying to start the X will get you a black screen. I had assumed it was related to the custom kernel and/or DKMS, but the problem appears with the regular nvidia package and kernel. Well, I guess I can always downgrade. Thanks for the post, I must remember to check my email more often. -- >From mutt in /dev/tty4... João Miguel

For me simply restarting the browser was enough, though. So pulseaudio must not be the root cause, even if it's involved. João Miguel,
