3070 TI, same problem. Currently operating on 6.19 with little to no problems. 7.0.2 when booted is black screen. Sometimes a green screen flashes before going to black.
Hi all, saying it doesnât work with this or that doesnât help clarify.
I see there were some other nvidia updates, for the 595.71.05 driver as wellâŚ
All good here (and before)âŚ

I also see them. Iâve did zypper dup and looked at changes.
$ sudo snapper status 2854..2855
c..... /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Index.db
c..... /usr/lib/sysimage/rpm/Packages.db
I donât think those updates impact anything. At least no impact on my PC.
The issue is lack of information⌠everyone seems to be flip flopping around locking this and that, switching driver versions etc without providing any information.
Some simple things to try, like just boot with nomodeset, set the default to multi-user target, get packages and kernels in sync, then see if the graphical target works with the isolate command.
To my eye, there are some subtle underlying system issues, just not the driverâŚ
Yeah⌠Output of zypper se -si nvidia kernel-default and nvidia-smi would help to filter out user error.
I changed nvidia proprietary driver G06 to open G07 driver and kernel 7.0.2 works.

But my 5 packages were not updated:
nvidia-libXNVCtrl 595.71.05-2.1 (595.71.05-2.3)
libnvidia-egl-x111 1.0.5-26.1 (1.0.5-26.2)
libnvidia-egl-wayland1 1.1.22-57.3 (1.1.22-57.4)
libnvidia-egl-gbm1 -1.1.3-11.1 (1.1.3-11.2)
I locked them up and did restart.
After that everything works on kernel 7.0.2.
I decided that I would install them individually.
The first one was libnvidia-egl-gbm1 -1.1.3-11.1 (1.1.3-11.2) and result was green screen on kernel 7.0.2.
I had to go back to previous snapshot.
But now I have pop-ups on my screen with info:
Reloaded desktop effects after turning off graphics
@rektal that is likely due to a running graphical session. Either open a terminal and run screen login as root user and try each package, or switch to a tty and isolate the graphical target, then install.
That makes no sense, reallyâŚbut whateverâŚ
- booted the last installed kernel-default-7.0.1 with nomodeset
- entered multiuser target
- removed all existing package locks
- zypper dup
- nvidia driver versions are matching and kernel 7.0.2 got installed
- switched to graphical target
==> graphic appears
==> and here starts your logical flaw. graphic appears as this system state is still with the old kernel and nomodeset
And now the funny and already expected part continous.
- black screen after reboot
It is not even possible to add ANYTHING to the kernel commandline of kernel 7.0.x. Neither 3 or nomodeset or removing the nouveau blacklist works. The monitor is black directly after leaving grub.
This was to expect as this procedure does not differ from the stuff what other experienced user here in this thread have done already countless times.
So tried above - does not work: with 7.0.2 kernel - blank screen, with 6.19.12 - very low res. So installed back kernel-default and kernel-devel=6.19.12 and fall back to nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default=580.159.03_k6.19.12_1-48.1 again for now and added the locks:
sudo zypper addlock kernel-default kernel-default-devel kernel-devel nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default
So still waiting for workable solution.
After another restart i had green screen again.
I will go back to snapshot with kernel 6.19.12 and nvidia driver G06.
I will block all nvidia packages.
This is lottery. I do not have time for it.
I need to have a system that works.
@akontsevich Only way it will be fixed is a bug report, or if one exists adding your details as appropriate.
@rektal this applies for you to 
I know that but I am just average user.
I have no idea how to fix it, so I went back to the settings that work.
URL? You know that everybody have this problem even VERY experienced users like me and this situation is not normal! What details to add there?! I wonât install G07 driver for whatever kernel or G06 for 7.0.2 kernel - both are broken - it was very hard to recover and download older packages versions manually from TTY - big experience is necessary, not for regular users!
Why this situation happens on every major kernel upgrade?! As Linus Torvalds mentioned that the jump to version 7.0 was not driven by major revolutionary features or breaking changes, but rather to keep the minor version numbers from becoming too large (following 6.19)?!
Youâd have to talk to a developer about that. Here weâre users helping users, generally. Getting angry at those trying to help or to gather information for the developers is not productive or helpful, so letâs stay focused on the issue. 
Hey, I get itâs frustrating but thatâs what snapper is for. Roll back for now and wait as I work out fix for this issue with SUSE. Unfortunately this issue is really difficult to pin down and I donât see similar reports on other distributions like Ubuntu 26.04 and CachyOS that also use 7.0 kernel. It might be OpenSUSE specific. So please give it time. Iâll be posting updates in this thread as I find anything worth pointing out.
This bug is reported and you can see it here.

As long as the history repo lasts, it is as simple as:
zypper addrepo --priority 110 https://download.opensuse.org/history/20260426/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ TW20260426
zypper ref TW20260426
Then you can (re-)install whatever was available in that snapshot.
Or download what you need e.g. to /home/myuser/localrepo and
zypper addrepo --priority 110 --refresh dir:/home/myuser/localrepo local_repo
I added the available data from the affected machine to the bugreport. The nvidia-bug-report shows a fatal crash.
No version missmatch. Just a plain fatal server error.

Aside of leftover kernel-default-devel-6.19.10-1.2 and (if youâre using Nvidia container toolkit) missing nvidia-container-toolkit, libnvidia-container-tools and libnvidia-container1 looks good.
Thanks, havenât used it in a while. Guess itâs time to get rid of those 32bit packages as well.
