I repeatedly get similar results after purging and attempting to install
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver.

It's now frozen on:

Setting up libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx:i386 (340.96-3) ...


Where can I find the full log?

My card is:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84GLM [Quadro FX
570M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

    Kernel driver in use: nouveau


I'm on testing but not the latest version of all packages because I noticed
some interface bugs on my other box that uses latest testing. Should I be
on latest testing?

I don't remember whether or not I ran the add-architecture command, but I
definitely consciously enabled multiarch a long time ago for Steam.

I had the normal nvidia driver until it stopped supporting my card and I
got a mid-upgrade whiptail popup about needing to install the legacy
driver, which is when things started breaking.

I'm working from a normal graphical xsession, and I've never had to do
anything related to optimus or bumblebee so I don't think I have it.
