tried to install nvidia-glx drivers through synaptic, and now i'm getting :

Code: Select all: E: nvidia-kernel-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: nvidia-kernel-dkms: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

on every install of files with synaptic. searcehd for the solution, but i found too many to dare to try and fix it myself.

the following command

Code: Select all: aptitude search nvidia|egrep -v "^p |^v "

gives:

Code: Select all: i glx-alternative-nvidia - allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX prov i libgl1-nvidia-alternatives - transition libGL.so* diversions to glx-alt i libgl1-nvidia-glx - NVIDIA binary OpenGL libraries i libglx-nvidia-alternatives - transition libgl.so diversions to glx-alte i nvidia-alternative - allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX prov i nvidia-installer-cleanup - Cleanup after driver installation with the C nvidia-kernel-common - NVIDIA binary kernel module support files u nvidia-kernel-dkms - NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS source i nvidia-support - NVIDIA binary graphics driver support file i nvidia-vdpau-driver - NVIDIA vdpau driver i xserver-xorg-video-nvidia - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver

furthermore, upon starting windows 7 in vmware player the following message appears:

Code: Select all: Direct rendering is not available. As a result, this virtual machine may experience very low graphics performance. Follow the instructions provided by your graphics card vendor or Linux distribution in order to update your computer's OpenGL drivers.

lmde 64 bit.

thank you in advance

try this in a terminal.

apt install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx build-essential nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig

also, see viewtopic.php?f=191&t=82424

I had to remove the nouveau drivers too.

thank you for trying to help. it did not work, though.

this is the terminal output in full:

the above link states to remove noveau driver after installing nvidia, but does that apply in my case- since obviously installation of nvidia driver is not working...

if i follow the instructions from your link with this:

Code: Select all: apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau libdrm-nouveau1a

i get this in the terminal:

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau libdrm-nouveau1a Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: libdrm-nouveau1a* xserver-xorg-video-all* xserver-xorg-video-nouveau* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 2 not upgraded. 3 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 1,053 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

do i go for Y now or not?

mercier,
may I suggest U to install smxi and let it take care of sysm updates and NVidia installation.??
have always used it since my first install of LMDE on sept-2010 and never had problems.
http://smxi.org/
once U have understood how it works, it's very simple.
read tutorial first !
cheers

well, thank you both. i managed to get to myself out of x and no way back in.

finally, after some two months, i gave up on lmde "stability". now, i am enjoying the stability of lisa

Only removing nouveau drivers worked for me. When I tried black listing I had problems with .conf files.
