Hello,
I am sorry but this is really annoying for me.
I haven't used Kali since 4th of april - today after bootin up I did a apt-get upgrade
lots of upgrades were found - so far so good - but after upgrading the system and reboot I found out that the NVIDIA (optirun and pyrit) are not working anymore. bumblebeed daemon were also not running or found.
So I restored my clonezilla backup but I am afraid of updating my system again.
Is there a safe way that I can upgrade NVIDIA Drivers from the repos?
Anyone in here who has also a NVIDIA Optimus or an Alienware m14xr2?
