Same here and all went through without error messages but still Xorg.0.log says "module nvidia not found, module does not exist". I have Pipers tips in print now and will give it a last try. If it's still not working, I give sgfxi a shot. |

UPDATE: Fixed now; in sid!
Working "testing" downgrade directions
This will be not be unnecessary, when the fix, now in experimental, passes to sid.
Thank you piper for the verification (downgrading; as seen working).
I ran your commands to clear nouveau:
Quote:
apt-get purge --remove dkms xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source
echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf
...but don't think that was it. Who knows?
============================================================
For the sake of others, I took my perfectly working system, had some coffee, and ran your two (below) command strings in a root terminal first, just to get them into the buffer, where I could up arrow to them easily, after init 3.
Changed "sid" to "testing" with:
Quote:
mcedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
I think mcedit, is the aptosid recommended editor.
As root
Quote:
init 3
apt-get update && apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx=7.10.2-3
Changed from testing; back to sid again; with:
Quote:
mcedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
THEN, look and make sure your command (as below) is updating back to sid, first:
Quote:
apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx
Noting your extra "-" in there, I removed.
With approval (Y), it installed packages to clear-out other nvidia stuff! It did.
Then reboot completely!
Also, to hold this pack:
Quote:
echo libgl1-mesa-glx hold|dpkg --set-selections
Check this hold, and list packages on hold:
Quote:
dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
Later, to take this package off Hold:
Quote:
echo libgl1-mesa-glx install|dpkg --set-selections
Verified Working on mine, here today.
Thank you Piper. 
Verified, here! This will be unnecessary, when the fix, now in experimental, passes to sid. |

| I did verify, still broken in sid. Now, what other commands work for using experimental. Nice to see the progress! It's hard to just wait, without X, so I hope the downgrade workaround helped, in the interim (day 7). |

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -t experimental install nvidia-kernel-source

Thank you towo, but Opps. Didn't work here.
...Unheld and dist-upgraded; and entered all your commands.

Ah, just coincidence ? I've done as Piper wrote on my 32bit install, all went fine without error messages. But still "Failed to load module 'nvidia' (module does not exist, 0)".
Then I took my 64bit install on the same machine. All fine without errors again but X came up after a reboot. The only difference I noticed (besides 32<->64) was dkms kicking in. I've purged dkms on 32bit a few weeks ago...  |

| Sadly no. I'm not joking. LOL. I would think your commands would pull it from experimental, with no other changes needed, but here, we got those errors. What next? |

This does say nothing!
Where you get this error? |

Read the manual about managing different repos. |

Aw, come on now. I guess your saying I need to do like we did before, and temp change sid to experimental, in the sources, but then remember to change it back. I'm asking is that correct, and is that also advised?
I'm also thinking, if I can get this done, via experimental now, then future sid upgrades (regression repairs) will leave nothing else to do, right? Seems obvious, but that's not always the case, now is it? |

No! You have to add experimental! |
