MX Linux Forum

I have been using a machine with MX Linux for almost a year with no problem. A HUGE update to Nvidia s/w popped up on 12/27/24. I decided to load it and it completely NUKED my machine (translation - on boot it would get past the statement of which liquorix was running, and go to a flickering black ...

Moderator,
I would like to close this post, but not mark it "Solved". The original problem, although I received a lot of help for which I am very grateful, was never solved, and I finally had to re-install a previous snapshot on which my machine is now running. Therefore, I no longer have the ...

I will prepare a new Live USB ISO from a new snapshot before converting the main machine, and therefore will still have the one I used today to fall back on. I am going to use this secondary machine now as the primary for a couple of weeks so that whatever little tweaks I find I need to make get ...

Well, DukeComposed, audio is one of things I have already checked, and fortunately, it worked out-of-the-box. And I'm also happy to report that other than copying a massive amount of data back onto the M drive which Snapshot wasn't aware of, I have now put the paths onto M drive and tested the ...

Charlie Brown: I am very sorry to say - that last paragraph is as clear as mud to me, though I read it four times. It just seems to me that there should be some default video driver (which is evidently what I got with a resolution of 1024x768 instead of UHD). Not sure why the OS, when it detects a ...

Soooooo.... If I had done that straightaway "xorg=nvidia" in the intial blue screen, perhaps the driver MX had chosen, although it was not the latest one recommended by NVIDIA, would have worked and it would not have been necessary for me to download and install the latest one? And I believe it was ...

Charlie Brown: Good to know. Actually, I have another machine that I usually use, and the one we've been messing with is a secondary that I am using to test MX before I put it on my main machine. I want to run into whatever I'm going to run into (sure glad I made THAT decision!) before I put convert ...

DukeComposed: yep, the only person who could have benefited from that keyboard was Stephen Hawking - if he could have moved a finger....

Charlie Brown: Thanks again. There certainly were a lot of people helping me out these past few days, and while xoal, for instance, suggested the CNTRL-ALT-F1 ...

OK, here's this situation now...
I tried the first suggestion, got rid of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, rebooted.
The machine came up with the Mx splash screen and the resolution was UHD. Wonderful.
Launched a VirtualBox. It complained it could not see the M drive, which was the OTHER nmve drive I had ...

CharlesV,
Yes, I used the Nvidia driver installer seen on the Mx Tools menu.
