Re: Failed to start light display manager

what if you tried to follow the the steps here for nvidia drivers

them at least we would know where you are

you also say you messed around without quite detailing what you actually did. as root, posting history | grep nvidia might also help

Re: Auto login and `startx` without a display manager -- jes

I am finding after doing updates (using sid), that /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service reverts to default. OK, thanks for bringing that up. My original method is a tad on the hacky side :) For a more "correct" solution, create a file at /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1...

it was working. then seems to have just died. it seems the system initially sees it but then rejects it from the dmesg messages [91217.133498] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [91217.259953] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1e3d, idProduct=198a, bcdDevice= 1.00 [9121...

Re: [trixie] recovering from a failed 'apt update' due to dkms erros

paste your /var/lib/dkms/zfs/2.1.12/build/make.log to pastebin then post the link here. though i am guessing you are currently on a 6.4 kernel and zfs hasn't yet updated for 6.5 when you update a kernel, then running kernel remains so it should still be an option when you reboot. you should also be ...
