First off let me mention that this problem happened a while ago so i may have forgotten some of the details. A while ago I was trying to get used to backtrack5 and I was doing pretty well I think. I learned that you shouldn't be using root exclusively so i was creating a user account and trying to give it all the right permissions and access.
I don't remember what did it specially but this is part of the error message I'm getting from Xorg.0.log:
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Now knowing that this was a problem of my own doing I took a look at my history to try and figure out what i did wrong but i'm not very savvy in such things... I'll paste some of the relevant command history
I have an idea of what the problem might be but i have no idea how i would fix it. if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. And if i should provide anymore information just let me know.
PS sorry if this is a bit verbose. And sorry that the command history isn't formatted properly for this site.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
