Hello Guys

Need some help.  My screen goes black if login to any other desktop
environment other than Gnome, even gnome-xorg only shows a black screen.

I have a nvidia graphics card but i am only using standard debian, no
non-free repos.

Can anybody help as i have not played around with the os so not sure how to
debug this.

Thanks  Dan

Please share Xorg.0.log from an attempted Xorg session, either in /var/log/ or in
~/.local/share/xorg/. If this is a problem, at least share content of
/proc/cmdline, which the log includes.

How old is your NVidia/what model? Output from 'inxi -GxxS' in Gnome would do for
this. A very new model might require a non-FOSS driver from NVidia.

If xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed, try installing it. If it is not, try
purging it.

It may be that you don't have non-free repos installed, and need to in order to
obtain firmware your NVidia requires.

It's possible disabling plymouth could impact this. Either purge it, or add
plymouth.enable=0 to Grub's linux line to find out.

Which installation type do you have, legacy/MBR, or UEFI?

I have had the system running Stretch for years with no problem.  Did an
upgrade and blank screen started so I did a fresh install and the blank
screen happened straight away.
Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Just for the record, reluctantly I installed the nvidia drivers from
non-free and all is now working perfectly but I would like to use the *nouveau
drivers.  Why they are not working when they worked perfectly in the
previous stable version of debian?*
