I installed, and selected the drivers and it was all sweet for a few days. now i've updated my kernel and the nvidia drivers simply won't load. I've tried doing a apt purge nvidia* and reinstalling. I've tried booting to an older kernel. I've tried swapping between the open source graphics driver and the nvidia one. nothing works.

  • If you install a new kernel, then you'll want to re-install the nvidia driver so that it'll build against the new kernel.

do you still have the old kernel ? if you still have it just choose Advanced options in the grub menu you'll see the old kernel and just boot into it
