I actually have the same issue, and have been having it for the last two years or so. I regularly try to install the drivers when I feel bravehearted, but every time I end up in the situation described here with a black screen (and tty available if I Ctrl
+Alt
+F2
). I had to rollback using sudo eopkg history -t nnn
to restore the previous Intel-only state.
I tried it with linux-current
(today), or both linux-current
and linux-lts
(in the past), on fully updated and freshly rebooted system.
Doflicky tried to install nvidia-glx-driver-common
, nvidia-glx-driver-32bit
and nvidia-glx-driver-current
.
Does anyone have any idea? It used to work in the past, like 2 or 3 years ago on the same laptop and same Solus installation, the Nvidia GPU was installed and working. I uninstalled it to save battery during trips, but now I would need it again because the CPU is overheating in multi-monitor setup when I use just the Intel chipset.
