I just ran an update, as one does with apt update and upgrade. Afterwards all my monitors, bedies that one ancient 4 by 3 monitor stopped working. That 4 by 3 displays gnome at a lower resolution then usual. So I assumed that this has something to do with the nvidia drivers (has happened many times before). So I run nvidia-detect and get a really interesting output: marty@MartyPC:~$ nvidia-detect Detected NVIDIA GPUs: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] [10de:1b83] (rev a1)
Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] (rev a1) Uh oh. Failed to identify your Debian suite.
“Failed to identify your Debian suite” Uh oh, that sounds bad. This is Debian 12, so I assumed this was apparent… neofetch still says it’s Debian 12!
I also made a post today trying to fix my desktop icons, so maybe the things which happened there kinda give away some hints?
Does anyone have an idea on what might be going on here?
your system feels like to me its borked on so many ways
So many content? You mean so many levels? While searching for the current download link for Debian 12, I really just couldn’t find the right one I think, so I just went for one which had amd64 and gnome in the title. It was for a CDROM, but I flashed that onto some USB.
I meant so many ways idk how that got corrected to that, fuck
