Still looks like its trying to connect to a proxy at localhost port
4001.  Give us your /etc/apt/apt.conf and any files under
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d

As a couple of others have noted, the module you have is for 100.14.19, and
the current nvidia-glx is 169.07.

At present, module-assistant is failing to build current
nvidia-kernel-source. It claims it cannot find the source tarball. You may
need to build it by hand. To do so, unpack /usr/src/nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2
somewhere, cd into the directory and run:

fakeroot debian/rules binary-modules KVERS=`uname -r` 
KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`

This should produce a working package.

Hopefully module-assistant or nvidia-kernel-source will be fixed soon so we
can go back to using it!

2008-01-13 Thread Don Montgomery


I looked at the apt-get howto located at

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-sources.list

and grabbed some additional lines for my 
/etc/apt/sources.list file, which now reads:

however, when I run apt-get update, I still get no joy, 
and a lot of lines like:

Any ideas what is happening?

P.S.  apt-get was working flawlessly on this machine for 
the longest time---I do not know what has changed.

Re: kernel module eeprom causing system freeze

2008-01-13 Thread Dean Hamstead

good question, however in my experience power failures
(especially breakers going) seem to reset bios's from time
to time.

i will take a look at the bios battery, however there
doesnt seem to be any problems with the bios retaining
its settings.

I have tried booting the current and the two prior kernels with

Any thoughts?
 
How did a power failure reset the BIOS unless the BIOS battery is dead.

IIRC, operations of a computer with a battery are indeterminate if the
battery is dead.  Change the battery.

Re: nvidia-glx not updating

looks like kernel module built is an older version

check your mirror sources, um, what else, maybe flush out
your apt cache.

try
apt-get source nvidia-graphics-drivers

see what version it downloads.

Thanks, I do use module-assistant whenever a new kernel source is

built and installed this package for me:

Hi all,

after a circuit breaker caused a power outage, which reset the
bios. debian is now freezing (solid) at 'Loading kernel module eeprom'.

I have tended to the bios and reset to optimized, fail safe etc.
Prior to the power outage there wasnt anything fancy in the bios
settings regardless.

I have tried booting the current and the two prior kernels with
the same results.

Any thoughts?
