Hello everybody,
This is my very first post, on my very first day at this site. And guess what; I'm having a bit of a problem:
My system does start, but only to the command line. This happened from one day to the next, with no apparant cause or reason. As far as I know no updates have been downloaded the last time it ran properly (ie with KDE).
When I try to execute startx it tells me that the (in my case) nvidia kernel module failed to load.
I think I have 3 options;
- Try to get that module/driver re-installed.
- Install some generic module/driver.
- Lazy as I am I can do a complete system re-install (I am too used to Windows I guess).
The problem with the first two options is that I have no clue as to how to do this.
The problem with the last option is; will my data (docs, e-mail) survive in that case? Is there a possibility that this is all on /home and will that partition not be touched by a re-install?
I hope someone can help me on this one.
Thanks in advance,
Martin.
