[Solved] Fresh Install, Update ... No X at boot, nvidia
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:04 pm
Boot problem, not able to get to X ...
Fresh instal of LMDE 64 bit (201109)
Install went smooth.
Did update using Update Manager (kernel upgraded to 3.?.?) followed instructions regarding Package 3 issues including note regarding changing to nvidia-glx and getting rid of gstreamer very bad.
nvidia-glx was installed using package manager.
Upon reboot I get black screen with cursor upper left only. (no X)
Recovery mode I get (EE) error note regarding Xconf. nvidia no nv etc.
In hindsite, I probably should have installed nvidia-xconfig but did not.
Since I'm not online at the boot prompt, how can I do an apt-get install?
(Can I do this using the Live-CD, if so, how do I do this)?
Was hoping to do the following to try to recover:
apt-get update
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-xconfig
Any help to recover and get to X would be greatly appreciated!
