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?
I don’t have any sources files in my /etc directory. My Debian install in general is really weird, since the default apt sources came only with some CD ROM source, which did not work with the Internet. So I had to manually add all sources myself (probably caused some of my troubles…) These are my sources right now
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
I’m assuming these are correct, as they all got that bookworm in them.
I will try the other options though, thanks!
