The messages here are mostly in German, but I’ll try to translate mist of it:

I really hope someone can help me out here…

EDIT: I kinda forgot to actually mention my problem. When booting nornall, I get stuck at a lonely white blinking cursor on a black screen, so startx seems to make some problems. I enter a TTY and run startx and this is what I get when running startx:

output of startx

SOLUTION

  • Uninstall your current nvidia driver (for example using sudo apt remove nvidia-driver on Debian)
  • Install the headers for your kernel. your kernel you can check rather easily by running neofetch
  • Install the headers required for your kernel. Do that by listing all packages with your kernel name in it. For example like this: apt list *6.9.7+bpo*
  • reboot, install your nvidia driver again and rovoot again. Should be done.

    What was the output ? It is not visible for me here.

    • Were you using startx successfully before ?
    • Or are you reverting to trying startx and you did use some graphical display manager like gdm, sddm or lightdm before ?
    • Could it be a disk space problem ? If you run out of space trouble can happen with various applications.
    • Can you boot from a previous kernel (At the GRUB or systemd boot menu) and see what happens ?

      It was a link to a picture of the terminal… I don’t have a better way to do this. https://files.catbox.moe/9boyn2.jpg

      • Yes startx was working before.
      • I unfortunately don’t know. I always just use startx to get any kind if GUI running…
      • It is not a space problem. I’ve got plenty of space and I have not seen any space problems before. Like 29GB left.
      • I can boot from a previous kernel, but I get the same problem (that being a black screen with blinking cursor).
