Installing vlc2.x has probably pulled in dependencies that now cause 'broken packages'

Check /var/log/apt/history.log or /var/log/aptitude for packages that were pulled in together with vlc 2.0

I am afraid that your 2 requirements:
(1) new vlc2.0
(2) stay with stable as much as possible
will turn out to be incompatible, and you will have to give up one.

You have a choice between 2 now:
(1) Upgrade everything to the repo where you got vlc 2.0 from
(2) Try to downgrade newer installed packages to stable again.

First of all, thank you so much for your help xaos52.

I have just reinstalled Crunchbang 64 bit. I have an LVM with my home directory so it's not a big deal and there wasn't much installed. Completely fresh install, all I did was change the default debian stable repository to the Australia mirror by adding .au into the URL and did an apt-get update.

aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Completed sucessfully.

The output of: 

aptitude install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings nvidia-vdpau-driver vdpau-va-driver

after all the unpacking and whatnot is now:

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Can you load the nvidia kernel module manually?

sudo modprobe nvidia

Should give no output at all.

lsmod|grep nvidia

should produce output.

Did you remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf again?
If you did, run nvidia-xconfig again. It should recreate the xorg.conf.

If the X server does not start, just move the xorg.conf out of the way with:

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia

and restart X

Post the /var/log/Xorg.0.log again when  the server crashes.

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Okay, it's working now - but it was a little strange how it started working. But working non the less.

When I did a modprobe nvidia it gave an error saying it could not find a device however doing an lsmod|grep nvidia gave no output. I then ran nvidia-xconfig again, pressed alt+printscr+k and the computer froze - I let it hang for about 5 minutes so I was sure it wasn't loading before I forced a reset. Then all of a sudden its working.

That is strange because this is the third time I've done this process on this fresh install; the only thing that was different this time was running sudo modprobe nvidia before nvidia-xconfig

Thank you xaos52 for bearing with my issues, I hope someone can benefit from this somehow.

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Try another distro. Debian's proprietary driver methods are hit and miss at best. Ubuntu has fixed the proprietary driver installation problem on a Debian-based system, but I know of no other Deb-spin that doesn't have problems.

Long live the DFSG!!!

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

hi FINALLY I reinstalled nvidia on my laptop and this time it WORKED perfectly!   But I see I have a HD TV that used to be compatible with my laptop and now I cannot see my laptop using my HD TV. 

I installed disper actually and tried to set up my extended screen on disper, but it really messed up my resolution because the resolution is automatically set at max.  Is there another program out there that can help me set up my resolution and screens in a gui friendly fashion?  I I kind of miss the windows vista gui that I was used to, but I am now switched to #! and it's almost impossible to go back to clumsy microsoft lol!

Open up a terminal. Type in

if it says command not found, then type in

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a little help installing the Nvidia drivers as I have tried in the past and failed. Running the command 'nvidia-detect' tells me that a GPU has been detected but only by the current driver series.

Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0a76] (rev a2)
Uh oh. Your card is only supported by the current drivers series, which is only in Squeeze.

Really my question is will the steps mentioned on page one be suitable or do I need to take an alternative route? I'm certain I've followed the steps before and it failed. But I'm not sure if that was due to compatibility or if I made a mistake - However that was a long time ago and there would have been a number of updates since then. Any help would be a appreciated.

If any additional information is required feel free to ask.

ok, I did that, and I have nvida settings, but how do make my screen to just appear on my HDTV only?  It kept on saying I have to restart my xserver/. how do I do that?

And what is X restart?  I kept on trying to do the separate screen and it kept on saying cannot be applied and it eventually mess up my screens and I have to restart my computer.  And my monitor ends up on my laptop again. 

I just want to use one monitor, on my HDTV and disable or maybe just "clone" my monitor on my laptop

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Thank you! I just came over from that "U" distribution where Nvidia didn't work, and this worked straight up first time.

I think I found me a new toy. Thanks again.

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

The new driver that came out yesterday (304.48) fixes a pretty big bug.
Since the bug report is long and complicated I will sum it up for you.
Moving the mouse is not thread safe, causes random x-server lockups.
It is already in the unstable repository.

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

i am using crunchbang 11, when you use this:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings

by default, it only RECOMMENDS that you need linux-headers installed but DOES not install them.

so, if you to install the nvidia stuff with above command and don't have your proper linux-headers installed, you will NOT be able to compile your nvidia module / properly install it.

this might be interesting to those that say after they installed the above, and then ran

nvidia-xconfig

that their xserver wouldn't start afterwards..until they removed their "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

you need to have linux-headers installed beforehand to properly install/build this module.

i.e. for me it is:

sudo aptitude install linux-headers-amd64

then:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings

and then you will have working nvidia module and xserver after you:

nvidia-xconfig

and reboot.

(you can use apt-get or aptitude, i just always have preferred aptitude)

i hope this helps someone.

hello crunchbang people, btw smile

xoxo - daniel.

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Thanks a lot hardran3! The steps you provided worked perfectly the first time around, and after restarting my x a couple of times I got my two screen config working the way I wanted. The nvidia-settings gui is pretty cool too! Thanks again!

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Hey, all!

I decided to go with CrunchBang for my new laptop - Toshiba P855. And so, installed all, liked a lot ... and then I had to install the nvidia driver. So, I installed nvidia-detect, which said that the current driver supports my video card - GT640M - and so I did:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings

And all was OK, then

sudo nvidia-xconfig

It created xorg.conf file, and then I rebooted. And the result: no X at all !!!!  And when I tried "startx" - it said "Fatal error: no screen found." and also that the Nvidia module could not be found.

WTF!!! How a command can break ... or do not do the things right ???

I was soooo disappointed .... can you help me fix this ... cause I want to use CrunchBand.

PS: I know that may be I sound a little angry, but as I said - I want to "USE" it ... not to "FIX" it. Such things happened when I was on ArchBang, and I didn't expect them here ... sad

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Well, the problem got fixed when I read the post from "aetbs.aoea" and so I first did sudo apt-get install linux-headers-..., and then proceeded with the the other install steps ...

SO, why don't you update the first post in this thread? ... from "hardran3" ? ... it would be sooooo much better to have all you need on the right place, instead of making the guys who's reading to have to go through the forum and to search on the web for such base thing.

Anyway ... I'm part of the CrunchBang universe now ... smile ...

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Had to remove everything I installed from here and delete xorg.conf to start slim (after updating to 3.2.0-4-amd64) and if I reinstall the problem reappears. sad
Now I am using the default drivers and the laptop's fan spins loudly all the time (even if I'm not doing anything)

I am running this release:

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Hola crunchbangers! devil

I've followed the guide in the original post and it worked perfectly, I have the latest Nvidia Drivers installed, working, and everything in 'nvidia-settings' looks great, so thank you OP for the guide.

Now I was wondering if OP, or anyone else, could please give me a similarly clean step-by-step on how to install CUDA 5.0 after following the original post to install Nvidia Drivers?

I'd like to get some F@H going on this nice little dist... I've tried the 'official nvidia debian guide', a few other debian tutorials, some ubuntu tutorials, nothing seems to work and most of the tutorials google is finding are greatly outdated and refer to CUDA 2, 3, and 4 installs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Re: How To: Nvidia drivers in #! or Debian stable

Hi crunchbangers,

just a little sidenote:
I could install a legacy NVidia driver (197) following the standard Debian way as described here:
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

The module assistant stuff worked like a charm for me although the GeForce 5600FX which I have in the #! box is not exactly a rocket smile

Since I have experimented with the #! box and playback of HD stuff, I also want to comment on the statement hardran3 made in the first post:
Pretty much every older single core (even my Sempron 3100+) can decode 720p stuff in h264 without hickup. Only for 1080p stuff in h264 VDPAU is really required. 1080p WebM stuff is much less demanding and will play back on an AMD E-350 (2x1.6 GHz) without big issues.

HTH,
D$
