I never had to make this procedure to install nvidia drivers, but now it seems i'll need it!

Maybe i need the headers and sources for this kernel, but apt does not find it! (using debian testing)


"root@duke:/home/dukenukem# aptitude install build-essential module-assistant linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source-`uname -r | cut -f1 -d-`
Não foi possível encontrar nenhum pacote cujo nome ou descrição combinasse com "linux-headers-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64"
Não foi possível encontrar nenhum pacote cujo nome ou descrição combinasse com "linux-source-3.2.0"
Não foi possível encontrar nenhum pacote cujo nome ou descrição combinasse com c
Não foi possível encontrar nenhum pacote cujo nome ou descrição combinasse com "linux-source-3.2.0""


The message above says its not possible find no one package with this name or description "linux-headers-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64" "linux-source-3.2.0"

Any suggestion?

So that kernel (*bpo*) is from the Backports. Do you have this in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

So are the headers, etc. The source package is called linux-source-3.2 .

Put this repository in my source solved the instalation, but i'm having an error, check it out:

Some clue?

Your problem is that you are mixing repositories that shouldn't be mixed. The backports repository contains packages for Debian stable, but you are using Debian Testing. There is no need for that repository in the first place if you are using testing. I would reommend to do a clean re-install using the Testing repositories only, then install the drivers as described in Debian's wiki.
