lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
My system doesn`t boot to KDE4 login screen this morning. I remember
I`ve installed some updates yesterday and will include the dpkg log.
Starting from today I can`t use nvidia-glx (tried both 185 and 173),
because X crashes on Xserver start and leave me with blank screen and
blinking cursor. I can`t even jump to consoles, because of the system
hang.
Vesa driver works ok. NV driver starts working if I remove (purge) the
nvidia-glx and nvidia-185-kernel-source, otherwise it crash after login
and sets me back to login screen (looks like trying to use libGL with
it).
Not sure, what package to blame: I`ve downgraded the Xorg to
xserver-common_2%3a1.6.3-1ubuntu5_all.deb
xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.6.3-1ubuntu5_i386.deb
instead of
xserver-common_2%3a1.6.3-1ubuntu6_all.deb
xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.6.3-1ubuntu6_i386.deb
and no effect.
Used this driver packages
nvidia-173-kernel-source_173.14.20-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
nvidia-173-modaliases_173.14.20-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
nvidia-185-kernel-source_185.18.36-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
nvidia-185-libvdpau_185.18.36-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
nvidia-96-modaliases_96.43.13-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
nvidia-glx-173_173.14.20-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
nvidia-glx-185_185.18.36-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
nvidia-settings_180.25-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
In kernel log you can see various tries to launch - with nvidia 185, nv, 173,
vesa...
I believe that segfault involving libc happening when using nvidia binary
driver but not sure.
Can downgrading libc help me? I don`t like this idea ...
