I've updated my squeeze to wheezy yesterday and I've to say I went through a lot of issues.
I finally manged to do the dist-upgrade and run X with the nouveau driver.
I've installed the headers for the kernel 3.2, removed the one of the 2.6 (also the image)
Here is what I have:
Code: Select all
tieumV:~# dpkg -l |grep linux-
ii doc-linux-text 2008.08-1 all Linux HOWTOs and FAQs in ASCII format
ii firmware-linux-free 3.2 all Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel

ii util-linux-locales 2.20.1-5.3 all Locales files for util-linux
tieumV:~#
tieumV:~# echo $CC
/usr/bin/gcc-4.7
when I run the driver executable, I end up to a screen where it is telling me that the gcc version used to compile the kernel 2.6 was gcc-4.6 and that the module kernel loader reject another one.
I'm worried because it is mentionning my old kernel.
Shouldn't it tell me kernel 3.2?
How can I change this? I've tried to force reinstall module-assistant but nothing happened...
Shall I just ignore this and compile with gcc-4.6? this doesn't sound right...
How can I know the compiler version used to compile the kernel?
(tieumV:~# uname -arm
Linux Tieum-Vostro 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.46-1 i686 GNU/Linux)
Thanks in advance for the help.
I've uploaded a snapshot of the nvidia driver issue here: http://postimg.org/image/6zyifm0jr/
I'm going to work on putting back my wifi driver but I'm afraid to get the same kind of issue...
in case, I'm trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-319.17.run (http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/61452 )
for my card: # lspci |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1)

PS2 : when I boot, I end up in the console, gdm doesn't start. I can just run startx in root.
I don't like gnome3, I've installed xfce but I don't know how I could launch it. I couldn't find anything for this. Can you please also let me know how to do. I would then be able to remove gnome
