Black screen after installing Nvidia drivers

[RedSpeaker12]

After installing the Nvidia drivers I get a black screen (with a cursor, and nothing else. I can also access the tty).

I tried 2 different ways :

• http://www.opensuse-guide.org/3d.php following this guide (tried the 1click method 2 times, and the terminal one just says "Nothing to do.")
• through YAST (Software Repositories/Nvidia/selecting the drivers)

I must say I dual boot and my gpu works just fine ; I was using Leap 15.3 just before and I didn't have any issue installing the driver.

Card is a Geforce 1060.

Please help.

Upload full output of "journalctl -b" immediately after boot to https://susepaste.org

All looks good. The only suspicious log entries are

Jun 23 19:37:10 localhost kernel: [drm:drm_set_master [drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000200] Failed to grab modeset ownership

but according to https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/...-495-44/193867 this can be ignored. Can you post /var/log/Xorg.log.0 (I assume SDDM is still using it)? If you disable auto-login, do you get display manager greeter screen with password request? Also, you apparently have Optimus system. Where your monitor output is connected - to Intel or nVidia card?

I don't know if it is. if you tell me how to check it, I can tell you. for the file, here it is : https://susepaste.org/26202172

no, I have the same thing, black screen with my mouse cursor. No difference.

Also, you apparently have Optimus system. Where your monitor output is connected - to Intel or nVidia card?

All my monitors are connected to my Nvidia card.

All my monitors are connected to my Nvidia card.

May be X or your desktop environment are using Intel as primary output. Could you log in on tty or remotely and run

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr

[RedSpeaker12]

I realized that I forgot to mention I'm using KDE (I thought it was so obvious to go Leap x KDE that I didn't mention it until now, lol). But anyway,

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr

No protocol specified
No protocol specified
Can't open display :0

("No protocol specified" is written twice for some reason).

Try to boot without these kernel parameters:

preempt=full security=apparmor
