270.41.06 driver Debian 6.01 (stable) kde splash screen freeze

pcdoctor · 05-10-11, 06:11 AM

I installed driver 270.41.06 this morning. When installing driver 270.41.06, after logging in the kde splash screen freezes or never finishes loading. I never get to the linux desktop. I can hear my start up sound but that's about it.
Driver 260.19.44 works fine.
My setup:
Debian 6.01 (stable) kde
GeForce 7200GS/7300

Thx so much for responding!
I deleted the old driver and had to boot from a live cd to copy the old driver back.
After that, I installed the old driver using the terminal.
Lesson learned, do not delete the prevous Nvidia driver until you are sure the new one works.

I am having the same problem in Kubuntu 11.04 with a go7300 and xorg1.10. I started having problems when there was an upgrade to 270 in 10.10 with xorg1.9 and it appears to have not changed. I downgraded to 260 and all was well until the 11.04 upgrade. Driver 260.19.44 does not work with xorg 1.10 and 270.41.06 does not work with xorg1.9. As soon as the boot screen comes up and I see the nvidia splash screen then the Kubuntu screen where it starts loading everything with the icons and goes fine until it gets to the K and as soon as it starts fading in the screen freezes but it appears that the computer is booting fully. The sound plays, mouse moves and my wifi light flashes. I sure hope someone figures this out fast. My business runs on Linux. The log file shows nothing wrong.

Are you saying you installed the Debian 270.41.06 drives from Experimental?

I'm using Debian Sid and I have KDE 4.6.3 and Gnome 3 on my box. Nvidia 8600GTS and Compositing on.

Both environments work.

I have all the OpenCL and CUDA stuff for research but I'm curious which driver you installed.

can you read http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 and generate a good report with the debug ( -logverbose 6 ) info as instructed after the issue appears ?

you can still switch to a VT to do that, right?

Debian's not the only one having freezes. I run OpenSUSE Factory on my other Linux box with KDE 4.6.2 as my default desktop. I have had random freezes and hangs with the 270.41.06 drivers. Downgraded to the 270.26 beta and everything appears back to normal. Apparently lots of users are affected and not just KDE users- plenty of reports saying something about the GPU locking up when there's high GPU load. Try the 270.26 beta and see if that fixes your problem.

I'm using Debian squeeze stable.
Yesterday I changed my sources to testing just for giggles.
I might try installing the 270 driver this weekend.
My files from testing are being downloaded now.
I see ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing/non-free nvidia-glx i386 270.41.06-1 as one of the files being downloaded.

Updating my sources from squeeze to testing didn't go so well.
My pc was unbootable after updates.
I ended up reinstalling Debiain 6 (stable) kde.
I have installed 260.19.44 again.
I wait unti there is a 272, 275, etc that works with Debian 6 stable.
