    X/KDE Wont Load Up on Boot

    This morning everything was fine. I tried to load the new nvidia driver but it wasn't working so i installed the regular (not legacy) nvidia driver, enabled it, restarted X and everything was fine. Now when I boot, at the end of the boot sequence, I get an error message indicated that no devices are found and I can then only log in via the command screen. X and Kwin don't start. I need my computer for school so the sooner I can fix this, the happier I will be!

    It sounds like an X problem. Have you tried rebuilding the "xorg.conf" file? Use the command below at the command prompt.

    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

      Unfortunately it didn't work. This is the error message I am getting:

      mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found

        I have also changed the current /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the 'nv' to the 'nvidia' driver and checked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file against the md5sum. And still the same error message.

          This looks to me as if your soft-RAID "disks" had gone "frisbee" (?).

            Well I'm back up and running after running a complete

            Code:
            dpkg-reconfigure -a
            The only problem is that when I update my drivers via the driver installer that came with my computer I get back to where I was before. So I had to run the reconfigure -a again. I noticed that my grub has to be updated and was instructed to call

            Code:
            /usr/sbin/update-grub
            Is this really going to do anything? I have a feeling my computer is teetering on the edge of stability/instability.

            I'm not sure what you (UnicornRider) mean:

              It's supposed to: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Debian

              Forget about it; obviously, it's been off the track (i.e. man mdm)
