Hello everyone,
I have recently install opensuse LEAP 42.1 and I have installed package for my nvidia carte graphique with “yast”. When I reboot my systeme Plasma 5 has been crashed in launch.
I don’t know what is the problem all I’ve got is this screenshot (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9w4y7IH-nnhMUFoQnZZY1VZODQ/view?usp=sharing)
So could you please help me? thank you very much.
how did you install the nvidia driver, the hard way or the easy way?
provide
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
do you have an optimus system?
try booting with the nomodset option, that should disable the nvidia driver
when booting in grub select advanced options and there enter nomodset
thank you very much for answering my topic.
I don’t really understand what you mean by the hard way or the easy way but i have used this link http://www.itworld.com/article/3003865/open-source-tools/8-things-to-do-after-installing-opensuse-leap-421.html

What did you mean by an optimus system?
I can’t choose nomodset because when I select advanced options I have the same problem.
the easy way is bu using prebuild driver from nvidia for openSUSE
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
the hard way is using nvidia’s generic *.run Linux driver that needs to be compiled
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way
an optimus system is a type of Laptop that has both an nvidia external card and an build-in intel card that “talk to each other” an optimus system is a power-saving pc that uses intel’s card for simple things and nvidia’s for more complex operations, those laptops need a special type of nvidia driver know as bumblebee
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee
So I have used the easy way.
and I think that I have a optimus system
Can you tell me how to reapaire my system and install my nvidia driver?
Thanks
the regular driver will not work in an optimus, boot with the nomodset option, remove the regular driver and install bumblebee (see above link), I’ve never used bumblebee so I can’t be more help
edit
note that the snapper commands from the opensuse wiki are doable if you used btrfs for your root file system (I still use ext4) just wanted to point that out if you used a different file system.
Like I said I can’t boot with the nomodset option because I have the same problem when I select advanced options
OK try this
go to advanced options and enter the number 3
3
that will boot in run mode 3 text mode
in text mode login as root and execute yast
this will start the text version of yast, go to software management and uninstall the nvidia driver
ps. the nomodset command disables all external drivers and should work?
The problem is that in advanced options I don’t have a text mode the system enter to the GUI mode that’s why I can not tape nomodset command.
To boot with nomodeset
press e at the boot screen find line starting linux or linuxefi go to true end of that line (it wraps) enter a space then nomodeset press F110 to continue boot.
If you log in to Gnome you may have a problem use KDE or any other desktop. Go to yast remove the all the package with nvidia in it’s name. Usually 5
Follow the instruction exactly from the bumblebee page noted above
what gogalthorp said
another thing to try is going in text mode after a crash (if it works)
press ctrl+alt+F1
login as root
go to run level 3 (turn off graphics) by entering the command
init 3
then start yast and remove all nvidia packages, you can reboor by entering init 6
just make sure you don’t have a pc with 2 graphic cards that is not an optimus, for those 2 card pc’s you need to set the nvidia card as the preferred card, this is done in bios, why am I telling you this cos bumblebee will not work with 2 card systems that are not optimus
I have deleted nvidia driver but when I reboot the systeme enter automatique in text mode
what did you do?
did you enter nomodset or use ctrl+alt+F1
you might (probobly not) need to delete the old nvidia Xorg.conf file
if it’s present it will be /etc/X11/xorg.conf so
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root should delete it, try entering init 5 (graphic mode)
I have used ctrl+alt+F1
init 5 or should start the graphics, init 6 might be better
just check if /etc/X11/xorg.conf is there if it is delete it
xorg.conf is delete but init 5 didn’t work
try init 6 reboot the pc
what happens when you enter init 5 is there an error?
