Re: Problem after dist-upgrade and dpkg install -f (Probably nvidia packages related)
Additionally I saw, debian offers prebuilt nvidia-kernel-headers for 3.16 kernel. Maybe these are running for your system? I am running kernel 4.9.0-2- *, as I am running debian testing. Hans
Re: Problem after dist-upgrade and dpkg install -f (Probably nvidia packages related)
Ok, maybe try my way: When I install nvidia driver, I first check, if all depenedencies are there. Best way, module-assistant, check, if it is installed. Then try: m-a This opens a ncurses interface. Check now, if all dependencies (kernel-headers etc. ) are installed. Module-assistant does this for you. Then just install libgl1-nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-dkms A lot of packages are now installed. Check, if they are built correctly. Good luck! Hans

No, no, it is never too late. If you trust me, I may login to your computer. To do this, I need your IP snd root password, of course. You can also use teamviewer, however, my bandwith is really low, so ssh would be better. You can send me direct to my e-mail address, if you would like to. Best Hans
Re: Problem after dist-upgrade and dpkg install -f (Probably nvidia packages related)
Hans, Don't be sorry (yet). I need some time to figure out some steps. Making a backup now. After that I will re-read your answers and try to try them all. If you or someone would want to do schedule a remote login let me know. As I am doing a Linux course now I would really like to learn from this and what others would do on my system when the would perform a remote login. If anyone needs more info try and tell me how to get it out of my system. I was wondering for instance whether some sort of roll back is possible after performing a (dist-)upgrade.

Re: Problem after dist-upgrade and dpkg install -f (Probably nvidia packages related)
Hi Aquarius, looks like you got into trouble with nvidia-driver. You should uninstall these, then doing a dist-upgrade and then conetrate to install the nvidia-driver again. I prefer two possible ways to uninstall all nvidia-packages (but check before telling "y"): apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* or aptitude purge ~nnvidia-* Both should work. But as I said, look, what is going to deinstalled, before telling YES. In most cases these commands are working well. When they are all deinstalled, reinstall the required package. Note: You must have a graphics card with Geforce 9 or higher! Otherwise the package will not be installed. Check your hardware if it is supported by the package. Note, you must have kernel-headers installed. Good luck!

Problem after dist-upgrade and dpkg install -f (Probably nvidia packages related)
I read an article on cme which would give me an GUI for viewing and editing systemd config files. So I thought I would install the packages involved on Debian 8 Jessie Dell XPS15 laptop to study systemd config files. Not to edit them. I use Debian for about 2 years now, so still in a learning process. I hope you will read through till the end of this mail in which I hopefully reconstruct the steps I performed: Well, I performed: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install gparted (this was because of another excercsie) apt-get install -f all was well untill now apt-get install cme libconfig-model-systemd-perl I only remember a message about the packages not being found. Well, leave it be I thought, I will do without studying systemd for now. But maybe I should update my system because I read until V215 of systmd it is vulnerable and I was running V215. I thought I could upgrade systemd but was not sure of that. I performed: apt-get dist-upgrade I know I got a message about something with 'nvidia' but can not exactly recall what. But also a message to perform: dpkg --configure -a In the messages I got from that were: libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64-->not configured nvidia-driver-->not configured xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-->dependency problems - leaving unconfigured nvidia-glx-->dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Because of the dependency problems I though I'ld run: dpkg install -f It gives this output: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: 'long list of packages but last time I used autoremove I ultimately reinstalled my system, it removed to much packages' Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 4 not fully installed or removed.
