Would you please repeat your post in english

OK. start in rescue mode so you see what's going on.
Then tell us where it stops. It should stop at a TTY root@your_computer_name
If it does leave it with the command "exit"

Ok this means that x does not start
Boot into rescue mode and at the TTY prompt run this command

dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

You may also have to reinstall your video driver (envy is there to help you with that)

not loading blacklisted module ipv6

That's supposed to happen

Do this:

Boot into rescue mode and at the TTY prompt run this command

dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

If that does not help

Boot into rescue mode and at the TTY prompt run this command
envy

I get the impression that your native language is german, and if so you could post in the german language subforum and I will help you there instead (or in a nordic language subforum if that's better

)

No - I don't understand dutch that well

It may be may error - try envy -t
I did not anticipate the need for that switch in a TTY but it is perhaps necessary

Envy should automatically select the right driver for your card which is a new card. If you can't get it to install you may have to go to nvidia's home page.
You still can't get to the desktop?
If so we have to apply the appropriate section of the how to for the live cd
http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... ur_Live_CD
Try the following (if you succeeded to bot in rescue mode)

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Note: there has to be a space between chroot and /root and also spaces between /root and nano as well as between nano and /etc. Please note that the X in X11 must be a major X

This will let you edit your graphics configuration file. Using the arrow keys scroll down to the heading called "Device". Under this it should have "Driver" to the left and beside it the driver in inverted commas, like so: Section "Device"

Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT]"
Driver "nv"

EndSection

It's the same for ATI as for nVidia, only when it is an ATI card the Driver is (probably) "ati". For some reason these drivers are always loaded and never work for a lot of cards. Change whatever is identified as driver to "vesa" (only one set of quotes) Once you've done this press Ctrl+x then y then enter to exit the text editor

This will bring you back to the command line, simply type:

exit

Save ti wherever you want - a new folder on the desktop?
But

pkg1.run

This is not a deb package and you have to learn about installing this kind of file...
I would recommend envy (from the menu in Cassandra)

The driver may be correct - envy can run a .run

automatically. If you want do it manually it involves some learning
Enjoy Cassandra!
