Thanks to Julian for setting up trying to do a backport to an earlier NVIDIA driver using Debian packages. I haven't tried that yet but I hope to do so next week. In the interim I tried cleaning out all the nvidia and related packages and installing from the NVIDIA distribution file. I tried 290.1

Using the Debian 295.33 packages with a fully updated Debian Stable, GNOME 3 will not start, I just get the "Oh no" screen and am forced to log out. I removed all the 295.33 Debian packages and reinstalled the NVIDIA run file and got the same behaviour. So now, to use a colloquialism, I am comple
