just to keep you updated. so far:
1. having an nvidia-optimus, removed all the nouveau stuff before installing nvidia drivers. the intent was to have a clear drivers config: intel + nvidia. nvidia-optimus doesn't require 11 packages = 111 MB of nouveau stuff.
computer continued to work, but with nouveau removed i've lost some (few) 3D desktop effects. installed bumblebee-nvidia drivers. computer continued to work, but 3D still didn't turn back completely.
decided to not waste more time removing nouveau, restored the / from backup, reinstalled again all bumblebee-nvidia stuff on top of nouveau. have followed the canonical way for nvidia-optimus installation, in brief.
bumblebee-nvidia shines as a crazy diamond right now here. all this luxury with the default sources.list, included with solydk64-201411-dev. that is:
Code: Select all
deb http://home.solydxk.com/production solydxk main upstream import
deb http://debian.solydxk.com/production testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.solydxk.com/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://community.solydxk.com/production solydxk main
the first point of your guide - initial install and test of the nvidia drivers- finisches here. the / is already backed up again in its current state.
2. i'm about to pass to the second one - add the jessie.list to 4 existing ones. and here my first doubt arrives. the final result will be:
Code: Select all
deb http://home.solydxk.com/production solydxk main upstream import
deb http://debian.solydxk.com/production testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.solydxk.com/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://community.solydxk.com/production solydxk main
from the default /etc/apt/sources.list, plus,
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
from the newly created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie.list, resulting in 5 repos.
my question is simple - do you think these 5 repos are OK? Yes/No only, nothing more.
in any case, your eventual answer will take too long to arrive, so right now i'm proceeding with 5 repos (above), to see what will happen.
