I was hoping someone could help me out. I just upgraded to DSL 3.2 and tried to get the Nvidia drivers working but when I try to install the .dsl file it drops the file system and everything stops working. Is there a fix for this or am I at the mercy of waiting for the updated Nvidia drivers?

Also I'd much rather be self sufficient but haven't been able to find a good tutorial on how to create a dsl file other than with apt-get doesn't seem to be able to work in this case. So if someone could point me in that direction as well it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You're probably either out of space or memory. (Post your system specs?)

I don't think so. I had it up and running no problem on DSL 3.1.

I have a Dell laptop with a 1.6Ghz Pentium M with 512Mb of ram. I have the same problem running in both native mode and qemu. I've also run into this trying to boot on another computer

Thanks

Oh, then my guess is that its due to unionfs being used by default, and it might be causing some conflict.

Either try to boot with "dsl legacy" or convert it into an unc.
