3.8.24 Conky says Network - IP adress: "NO Adress" despite fully functional NIC

Working on it.

But - I struggle getting the drivers for the gpu to work properly. Just after I posted the first post here, I encountered a crash (didn't get to take a photo of the information unfortunately).

That session I chose free gpu drivers, and was happy to see the desktop seemed to working just fine (maybe that was the reason behind the crash).

That was yesterday, but today I don't get Elive to get into desktop due to gpu driver issues.

I did managed to take some photos while booting, so here is what I did so far today:

  • Grub: Selected second last option, old stable kernel.
  • Reboot now? Do you want to reboot now to select the close-source drivers? . . . . [No]
  • Unable to detect driver version needed. The version of the driver that you need for your Nvidia card has not been detected. . . . [ok only]
  • Select the version of the Driver your graphics card needs. (current ?): [legacy-340xx Previous drivers for recent cards (older) ]
  • Unable to remove module: Error: noveau module is loaded and we cannot unload it. You should reboot and add the boot parameter . . . . [ok only]

And this is the current screen.

And never get any further. But it's probably me doing some wrong choices . . .
