It's now frozen on: Setting up libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx:i386 (340.96-3) ... Where can I find the full log? My card is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84GLM [Quadro FX 570M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T61p Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49 Memory at d6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at d4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at 2000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 <?> Kernel driver in use: nouveau I'm on testing but not the latest version of all packages because I noticed some interface bugs on my other box that uses latest testing. Should I be on latest testing? I don't remember whether or not I ran the add-architecture command, but I definitely consciously enabled multiarch a long time ago for Steam. I had the normal nvidia driver until it stopped supporting my card and I got a mid-upgrade whiptail popup about needing to install the legacy driver, which is when things started breaking. I'm working from a normal graphical xsession, and I've never had to do anything related to optimus or bumblebee so I don't think I have it. <luca.bocca...@gmail.com>
