Kai Schroeder (kai-schroeder) wrote : nvidia driver is not available after upgrade to edgy - xserver does not start / only main is enabled

on one of my computers the xserver does not boot after an upgrade to edgy. after the upgrade main universe and multiverse are enabled for edgy-security and edgy-updates but only main is enabled for edgy.
because of that nvidia-glx has not been updated and therefore the xserver fails to start because the nvidia kernel module had been build for the dapper kernel.

my sources.list contained these line (well, not only):

deb ftp://ftp.stw-bonn.de/pub/ubuntu dapper main restricted multiverse universe
deb-src ftp://ftp.stw-bonn.de/pub/ubuntu dapper main restricted multiverse universe

that is a local mirror not available to the public.

those have been commented out by the upgrader.

now i only have (apart from edgy-security and edgy-updates lines)

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main
(and no deb-src line)

btw. i have used the graphical update-notifier and not apt-get dist-upgrade.
editing source.list manually and doing another dist-upgrade fixed it for me.
