nvidia-304 error and blank screen after reboot
#1
I just finished to install Kodibuntu on my Intel NUC following the wiki instructions.
At the end I installed some other software (transmission and flexget) and did some tweaking on the system for my external drives and samba and so on.
Then I had my system working.
Then I did an apt-get update followed by an apt-get upgrade and I got an error on nvidia-304.
That was completely blocking: there is no way to correct the error, so I started googling and fond some solutions to completely remove nvidia drivers:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/526571/ap...stallation
and:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/ho...completely
but after following that I did a reboot and BANG, the system was not working anymore.
I can't even ssh to it and the NUC boots, but all I got was a black screen.
There is no way to access the NUC and the only thing I could do was a reinstallation.
I don't know what I did wrong, I was expecting that and update && upgrade && dist-upgrade would bring me a fully updated system, not that it will broke it...
Now I have the system up again after the installation, but I don't trust it anymore to do an update && upgrade.

Any idea?

could you please provide a Debug Log from your working system now?

Normally the normal update procedure wouldn´t break your system if Kodibuntu works like expected at installation. So I would first try to update your system before installing additional software

this is enough:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

The debug log is here: http://pastebin.com/6m55vctt
I'll try again to upgrade, but I worry I'll fall in the same issue.
I'll keep you posted once I finish the upgrade.

As expected: http://pastebin.com/muM17F0E
And now I don't know how to correct it...
The system now boots, but I don't have kodi running, I get a login screen, I suppose it's ubuntu login screen. but of course I don't have a keyboard or a mouse connected to the NUC so I'm stuck.
And if I try to install anything I always get that error.

At the end I was able to remove nvidia-304, I have to change the quirks handler: http://askubuntu.com/questions/526571/ap...stallation

Then I reinstalled nvidia-common and nvidia-304 and now I can reboot safely.
The problem is that removing nvidia drivers the system removed kodi somewhere and now I reinstalled with apt-get install kodi, but it doesn't start automatically and if I try to launch it I get:

fmf@kodi:~$ kodi
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting

Any suggestion on how to correct this?

I can't see any reason why a nvidia driver should be used as you are in intel?! Maybe someone is able to eplain.

That was my second thought.
But now I would settle knowing how to run kodi at boot.
