So did you get a black screen?
What graphics driver are you using and how was it installed?
Did you receive this after doing a dist-upgrade where there were kernel packages?

To determine the graphics driver, if you are not positive, run this terminal command:

Code: Select all

inxi -Gx
you may have to first install the inxi package.

If you just updated your system and you included kernel/linux-image packages and you are using a proprietary nVidia driver you may have to reinstall your driver or use the depmod command depmod — program to generate modules.dep and map files. (from the man page, check it to see more options)

Code: Select all

sudo depmod
