#1 Hardware & System Configuration » Synaptic failing for fix failed updates » 2024-11-21 09:31:02

I'm traveling right now and my internet connection can be spotty. I ran synaptic to pick up any updates and it reported quite a few. However, it failed to complete many of them with error messages notifying me.
My problem is that I seem unable to get these updates now. I immediately tried to reload after getting the error messages but synaptic didn't pick up anything. Synaptic doesn't see any updates needed.
How do I force synaptic to do a full update?
#2 Hardware & System Configuration » Problem with newest Nvidia driver » 2017-08-12 19:26:16

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to get the latest Nvidia driver installed and I think I've found the problem. The nvidia-driver and nvidia-settings are at v375.82 in jessie-backports contrib while nvidia-xconfig is at v340.46 in jessie contrib. There is a version of nvidia-xconfig in ascii contrib that is at v375.26. Are these version incompatible?
I'm unable to use the nvidia driver. Runing nvidia-settings tells me to run nvidia-xconfig. Either of the above versions of n*-xconfig just kicks me out of X and I have to purge X and reinstall to get back to a graphical environment.
So at the moment, I'm suck at a low resolution screen. Any ideas?
