640 x 480 after an update

Hi !

I’m using Open Suse 13.2 and I recently do an update and when the disk reboot all is displayed in 640 x 480 mode.

Any clue of what is happening ?
Does anybody has the same problem ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

You might include information about the hardware you’re using - video
card and driver in use might be considered to be “crucial information” to
know in order to help. :slight_smile:

If you have NVIDIA the new kernel update seems to have zapped a bunch of people Also seem some some network stuff is broken. If you have a GUI and network role back the kernel to the previous or boot from the advanced menu and select the previous kernel

I have NVIDIA video card. I don’t know if I have GUI. How do I can know that ?

And How do I return to the previous kernel ?

Thanks,

I just updated to the latest kernel and lost GUI as well; it appears that kernel broke modules compatibility. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=927018

How do I return to the previous kernel ?

In bootloader menu got to Advanced options and select previous kernel version. Worked for me … :slight_smile:

Which one? nVidia makes lots of different video cards. :slight_smile:

Do you get a terminal or a graphical screen? If you get a graphical
screen, then you got to the GUI.

If you get a screen with text and a “Login:” prompt, you got a console.

GUI = Graphical User Interface

Yeah !! Reboot, choose advance options and select the previous kernel works for me too.

Thanks a lot !!

i guess there is a new reason to use the NVIDIA.run driver

i did not have that issue

in a few days the G0?.rpm driver should be rebuilt

just reinstall that driver then

I just tested the new kernel update it worked fine here. Only problem is that the test repo did not have the kernel-devel rpm so I could not compile VirtualBox so I’m booted back to previous. The new fixed kernel update should be here ins a day or two.

Thanks gogalthorp.

I’ll try in one or two days.

Cheers / Saludos

Well a small update It alluded me that the kernel-devel is a no arch package thus in a different sub directory of the repo. Makes sense I just did not think it through.

Running all on the new kernel now.

That’s right… Now all works in the new kernel.
