11.4 with Gnome 3. Saw a new nvidia driver – let’s get it. 290.10
Tried to install with both one-click and zypper with no luck. Log file entry: missing or misconfigured D-bus session bus daemon -------
I’ve been able to install nvidia in the past using either method in the past with no problems but I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve tried since installing 11.4 and Gnome 3.
Searched for similar problems but all I came up with was the D-bus message for other issues, not installing nvidia.
So, have you uninstalled your old nVIDIA driver? If installed by YaST, you can search for it and unckeck its installation and allow it to be removed. I have some blogs on installing it the hard way if you are interested.
Over the past few years, I have updated the nvidia driver using various methods, including the hard way, and have never had to uninstall the old before installing the new. Just curious - why now? It’s not that I’m unwilling to try, but it seems odd to me.
If the nVIDIA driver is installed using YaST, it should be removed (uninstalled in YaST) before loading it the hard way. Further, if you wish to revert back to using YaST, you should uninstall the nVIDIA driver installed the hard way, before doing anything in YaST. And if you wish to revert to the default kernel nVIDIA driver, you must uninstall the proprietary nVIDIA driver. Only when updating the nVIDIA driver, but you are not changing the method from which it is being loaded, do you not need to uninstall it beforehand.
