I dont need any driver. Best case would be that there is no amd-graphics. But I cant delete it from the system. I have a headless server.

@Elluminatus Thanks for your report.

I believe it's coming from here: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/a61184cccb1cd8eaeaf5fe03d76d3e9c23a7b643/dietpi/dietpi-config#L925

Must be called from a reinstall, but I can't find the related one, especially no sure how a certain video drive is directly toggled 🤔.

And now xserver-xorg-video-intel is an Intel video driver for xserver, while firmware-amd-graphics is the AMD video driver package. Possible that those conflict each other.

If you have a headless server, remove both of them:

G_AGP firmware-amd-graphics did not work you say? Did you try dpkg -P firmware-amd-graphics otherwise?
Looks like Intel driver was selected through dietpi-config menu. Please go to dietpi-config > Display options > Change Resolution and check where it says Intel : Uninstall GPU driver and if yes, do it.

Just to be sure, which software titles do you have installed? Maybe we can identify which one was reinstalled and toggled the Intel driver install: dietpi-software list | grep ' =2 '

Hi MichaIng thank you for the fast reply. I tried dpkg -P firmware-amd-graphics with the same result:

dpkg: error processing package firmware-amd-graphics (--purge): package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration Errors were encountered while processing: firmware-amd-graphics

Intel driver is nbot selected in the menu. There are no GPU driver installed there.

This is the output from dietpi-software list | grep ' =2 '

The INtel driver was a failure from myself. I tried it in the menu.

Do you need further output or other Infos from me?

Greetings Elluminatus

@Elluminatus

I tried dpkg -P firmware-amd-graphics with the same result:

Strange that it wants to configure the package, when attempting to purge. However perhaps try to follow the advice: you should reinstall it before attempting configuration: apt install --reinstall firmware-amd-graphics

If that throws the same error, the last idea I have so far is manually downloading the deb package: https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-amd-graphics_20161130-4_all.deb or search for it in cache: /var/cache/apt/archives/ and install via dpkg -i <name>.deb.

€: Ah forgot the following with might be worth to give a try: apt install -f

Checked reinstalls: Only Mosquitto during v6.17 => v6.18 patch, but that is a very simple install without much configuration.

So I guess you copied the error prompt when trying to switch to Nvidia driver manually? However so the main issue is the broken AMD driver package that breaks all APT attempts.

Perfect: apt install --reinstall firmware-amd-graphics worked fine and now its runing smooth. Update complete v6.19.7 Thank you

MichaIng commented 5 years ago

@Elluminatus Great to hear. Now you should be also able to uninstall it: G_AGP firmware-amd-graphics

I will mark this issue as closed. Feel free to still use it or reopen, if required.
