Same person here, just found my login. i popped onto the irc channel on freenode and tried this command.

Code: Select all

(16:52:58) (dpkg) from memory, nvidia one-liner is update-pciids ; apt-get install module-assistant && m-a prepare && m-a a-i nvidia && apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings && modprobe nvidia && echo nvidia >> /etc/modules && dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (or xserver-xorg on testing and unstable). Contrib and non-free sources needed. See <non-free sources>

once doing that i wasnt sure what else i was meant to do so i just rebooted. still comes up with the same pixelated login. i tried running the .run file from terminal and it still came up with the same error.

Thanks. I'm sure it did.

My Debian Linux dream is open-source video drivers for all cards. I got thoroughly fed up with proprietary drivers. Now I use the standard Linux drivers. They may be slow, but they don't crash.
