Not getting HDMI output after the update. No sound or video after seeing a mouse cursor temporarily. System appears to boot as normal otherwise as I was able to log into my Steam account. Booting from the 4.16 kernel works fine (video & audio work as expected). NVIDIA GTX 960, Alienware Steam machine R2.

Last update (2.186-2.190)happened on my system. I had to do a clean install.

[buckysrevenge]

Now I'm getting a blank screen on the previous kernels as well... system logs are complaining about modules nvidia-current, nvidia-current-modeset, nvidia-current-drm not found

FYI, I tried the steam link app on my tablet and I get a blank screen there, too. Hi ho.

[vivek]

If you can log in, what does "dkms status" tell you?

[buckysrevenge]

Yeah, I can log in (e.g., Ctrl+alt+f2). sudo dkms status states:

fglrx, 15.9: added
Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File: does not exist

[vivek]

Well that's not fantastic. Sounds like the dkms conf file for a kernel module is missing - the following command should list a couple of entries like so:

find /var/lib/dkms/ -name source

/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271/source
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/415.27/source

What do you have there? Also does your machine actually have fglrx supported hardware in it?

[buckysrevenge]

I'm busy right now, so I'll check the sources later, and no, I have no fglrx hardware, Intel CPU, Nvidia video as stated above

[vivek]

Ok. well I'd start by removing the fglrx package and dkms module, and installing the nvidia-driver
package, which should pull in everything you need. If it installs successfully (will take a while, needs to build the nvidia kernel module) then you'll need to reboot to actually get the new driver loaded.

[buckysrevenge]

Thanks, I'll give it a try later

[buckysrevenge]

The find command found flgrx/15.9, nvidia-current/415.27, & nvidia-current/3**.**.** (don't remember the exact version number, but it was old).

I tried to install nvidia-driver but it said it was already installed, 'apt-get --reinstall' put out a few lines like it was trying to do something, but it really didn't. I'll try removing it first next time I get a chance (Incidentally, flgrx-driver wasn't installed, or at least running 'apt-get remove' claimed it wasn't).

[vivek]

Well, the fglrx directory you found there indicates some cruft at least. You should probably remove it for tidiness. Then run dkms status and
see if it's any happier.

[buckysrevenge]

I used dkms to remove the fglrx and the nvidia-current modules, then I built and installed the nvidia-current module which seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks so much vivek!

[vivek]

No problem. Interested in figuring out how it got into that state but the importantthing is it's working.

[buckysrevenge]

I found some post online that mentioned a random off-chance that a module not being rebuilt properly after a kernel update, so I guessed something similar happened since dkms stated the module was there but the logs stated they couldn't find it.

Yes, glad everything's working again and I learned some things along the way too. \o/

[Redface]

Thanks for the update. I have encountered no problems, and I also have a Alienware Steam machine R2 like buckysrevenge.
