Hi,
I thought that I published this question earlier today, but I must have killed the window before submitting.
Anyway, I recently did a silly thing and hit the 'upgrade' button in synaptic to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04
It didn't go well.
I had some errors and during the reboot I get the following output before everything hangs - that is no windows, nothing
* Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel-2.6.28-11-generic
* nvidia(180.44)...
I have done a bit of research, searching etc but the only references I found relate to loading drivers using the hardware manager GUI,
I can get to the single user(root) prompt and know that I am using an Intel Quad Core (Q6600 ?) chipset and an nVidia Geforce 7100/6310i graphics card.
I tried to install some utilities and was told by apt-get to issue:
dpkg --configure --a
It goes through a number of things and then comes up with the following:
Adding Module to DKMS build system
driver version = 180.44
doing initial module build
--
and then it hangs.
Alol ideas gratefully accepted.
