Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
Alack-and-alas, the nvidia installers /etc/modprobe.d/ nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf entry: # generated by nvidia-installer blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 ... resulted in blank screens on reboot. I was able to type blind and login on tty1 and issue a 'sudo reboot' command. "...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
Thanks ElderDryas (great profile pic, btw), I'll give it another go by re-enabling nouveau and letting the nVidia software pave its own way. Sidenote: When I went to disable nouvea the second time (after re-enabling to compare) glapt only showed the blacklist option. Here's a screenshot: http://www....

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
"Second verse, same as the first" ... I re-installed 'xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1' and rebooted. Same as before, I am now unable to get a display in tty consoles. :cry: sigh ... The question remains, since I've again blacklisted nouveau (and rebooted) what driver is currently pro...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
I reinstalled 'xf86-video-nouveau' and now have access to tty(1 - 3) consoles back. Bit of a 'Catch 22' at this point ... I guess I'll try the process again (making sure to reboot after blacklisting and before launching nvidia) to see if it changes anything. Hoping to sort this out. I really need fu...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
note: I've recently also experienced being unable to access tty consoles when trying to install Manjaro and Solyd X (and may have happened with lubuntu 14.04, don't recall for sure, I've done a helluva' lot of install attempts in the past week). But those distros also were showing other (more blatan...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
"Toto, Toto, this don't look like Kansas" ... Uh, after blacklisting the nouveau driver and rebooting (I'm aiming to install an nvidia binary driver) I was unable to bring up a screen on tty1 ('alt+ctl+F1' from 'gdm' greeter). My screens just go blank and suspend. I was able to 'alt+ctl+F7...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
Ah, after going back and rereading the wiki entry I see that exiting the GUI isn't a concern until just before installing the nVidia driver. So apparently downgrading the Janus-faced beast ... err ... "xf86-video-nouveau" ... via Gslapt would likely be fine. I think I'll just do it all fro...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
Ah, I see. The actual package (via 'sudo slapt-get --search nouveau') is "xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1", not "xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist" as given in the wiki: Blacklisting nouveau Run the following as root: slapt-get --update slapt-get -i xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist ...

Ah, gui to the rescue for a change... http://en.zimagez.com/avatar/nouveau-package-goof-screenshotcropped0.png http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/nouveau-package-goof-screenshotcropped0.php ...

Re: Nouveau blacklisting tool unavailable
p.s.— I've perused: http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5186&p=33424&hilit=nvidia+nouveau+blacklist#p33424 but haven't succeeded in deriving a clear way to proceed from it. Tips-n-tidbits would be most welcome. Nouveau doesn't play nice with one of my monitors and I need VDPAU...
