I upgraded yesterday, and also installed 3.8. I was wondering, has anyone else run into issues with the nvidia drivers with this kernel? I realize I have a kind of franken-driver situation:

Has anyone seen any issues with 3.8, or is it my driver craziness? Thanks, --b The 3.8 kernel, designated "-trunk" in experimental worked well. When they moved it to sid, stuff broke for a lot of people, including people who were already running it. It's gone from experimental now, so we can't easily roll back. You can consider reinstalling the nvidia driver, but it didn't work for me. Is nvidia really the problem, or is it the usb driver? The usb functionality broke for me, and I can't log in using lightdm, because my keyboard and mouse are usb. ssh is not running, so logins from the network are out. Hitting the power button for a soft shutdown reset the computer instead of performing a shutdown, and I lost a RAID partition out of the deal. I put that machine aside and used the enforced downtime as a reason to put together a new machine, and I will postpone upgrading to 3.8 for a while until this gets straightened out. So I am urging everyone to exercise caution going to 3.8 for a while. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
