I like updates. But not when they break the system.
Last night's new kernel broke my nvidia drivers for some reason.
As I am quite green to all these new wonders I am a bit lost about what to do.
At first I got a basic screen saying hey I am going to run in low graphics mode. But after some safe booting and automatic fixing of graphics issues I got my desktop at least.
But I lack certain features like the top bar of all windows, so they are a bit hard to move. I also lack a list of running software at the bottom of the screen. Lastly the screenlets refused to start.
I don't know how to tell you what version of kernel I am running, but it should be the absolute latest out there. My Nvidia driver should be 185.something. I had to use the beta ones as the plain 180 version broke some other things.
So.. how do I get my system back to normal? With working Nvidia drivers? Is it as simple as re-installing the beta drivers. Or do I need to do some tinkering in that famous x.org file?
Grateful for all help!
