Reading online, it looks pretty likely that this is caused by a missing driver for the laptop's nvidia graphics card.
When I was going through the GUI set up process, I wasn't able to set up a network connection either ethernet or wifi and skipped it thinking I could go back. I'm guessing that this prevented Debian from automatically installing the required driver from the internet.
My basic question is: should I remove the debian installation and redo everything, hopefully working out whatever connection problem I ran into and thereby solving the issue, or try to fix the existing install?
Sub question, what is the black and white screen where I'm seeing the above error messages? Is that just debian without a GUI or something else?
Thanks!
