I'm running Debian testing (with XFCE desktop) on a desktop PC for a long time. Until recently the system had no problems. After kernel 5.4.0-2 arrived with a bunch of other updates, I'm having strange problems:
- Cannot start X11 & LightDM with Nouveau drivers
- Blacklisting Nouveau causes system to freeze mid-boot (system doen't lock-up. Just cannot boot up. CTRL+ALT+DEL reboots gracefully).
- Installing nVidia drivers from repository causes screen to go to sleep without any way to wake it up.
X11's relevant log snippet is as follows:
