This is because, now using a new kernel, the nvidia kernel module is not properly recompiled to fit the new kernel. To solve this you can manually remove and reinstall the related package to force a fresh install that will fit your new kernel.</p><p>As usual when configuring and installing system components, log as root. Then just run those two commands:</p> <pre># aptitude remove nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-dkms # aptitude install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-dkms</pre> <p>Maybe working with nvidia-kernel-dkms is enough but this way of doing worked fine for me.</p> <p>For more details about debian and nvidia graphics, visit the <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">debian wiki nvidia page</a></p> Sat, 13 Dec 2014 16:26:00 +0100 Sebastien Devaux
