... humans are infecting Veeger. I figured I'd fix the display manager
problem with a clean install. Here's the fun part that gives me the
giggles: I downloaded the testing DVD to install clean from, whilst
thinking it would be stretch or sid. Best laid plans of mice.
I rebooted upon completion and it went smoothly. I installed my Nvidia
drivers and that went smooth. It was all soooo stupidly smooth that I
suspected something was wrong. Surprise, my sources list reflected
Jessie, not Stretch or Sid. I <cough cough> FIXED that. Figuring baby
steps I'd go for Stretch. Long story short. I'm back to the black screen
with itty bitty mouse cursor where I should be logging in. Synaptic is
also acting up again with the drop down menus refusing to drop down.
I'm fulla pain killers (legitimately prescribed!) so I figure a much
younger, and more agile, mind with figure this out. I'll even buy my
newly found favorite cube-monkey a pizza, as long as the order doesn't
require truffles.
