Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
That error is disk related not graphics card related…

See here: USB-Stick wird nicht erkannt - Hardware - openSUSE Forums (German) for some more clues and/or information to post back here.

Hi
FWIW, I see the same here with my SSD…

Thank you for the replies.

I tried my old graphics card (nvidia gts 450) today and i did the installation without any problem.
But with the new card the installation stucks on “Doesn’t support DPO or FUA”.
Also if i put the new graphics card in the current installation the system stucks on “Booting openSUSE Tumbleweed…”
Maybe is something with the drivers in both cases.

Hi
I have a GT 710 running the 418.30 driver here with no issues, your system power supply all ok? Does the card use the PCIe slot or external to power?

6

My system is brand new and my card uses PCIe. But it seems Tumbleweed doesn’t work with my new card for some reason, only with the old one.

Hi
So is the nvidia driver in use or the nouveau, have you tried booting with the nomodeset grub boot option?

8

I tried with nomodeset and is booting and then i installed nvidia drivers x11-video-nvidiaG04 and x11-video-nvidiaG05 but both doesn’t fix the problem. The text in programs are huge etc.

Hi
Did nouveau get blacklisted? Check in /etc/modprobe.d for a nvidia.conf file. I use the ‘hard way’ to install the driver, easier than waiting for rpms to turn up…

Hello and thank you for the replies!

The “hard way” is giving me the same results. I tried Ubuntu and the installation was ok without any problems. But i want Tumbleweed and i’m still searching for a solution.

Hi
So the nvidia part is compiling and installing without errors? If so, are you getting to a login manager, just not to the desktop environment?

12

Hello.
I made some progress. To bypass the error up on installation i had to edit GRUB2 replacing splash=silent with nomodeset (without nomodeset doesn’t boot anyway). This loads the basic drivers and i was able to do the installation. When i log in to desktop environment (KDE) the resolution is not that good, then i installed nvidia “the hard way” and it became worsehttps://www.dropbox.com/home?preview=with+nvidia.jpg. Looks like this with nvidia “the hard way” Login - Dropbox and without like this Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life

Hi
So what if you logout and login to say IceWM instead, still the same? If you create a test user and login as that user, does the issue duplicate?

14

IceWM has better resolution -maybe normal- i’ve never used it before. If i understand correctly the same thing happens with test user.

15

Hi
So it would appear that the nvidia driver is working and IceWM, what about test user with your normal desktop environment? So it sounds like all your new hardware is ok, just your desktop of choice…

16

IceWM isn’t a full Desktop like KDE, and at least for me has never loaded a display driver specific to the GPU, it has always loaded the VGA or SVGA driver for me. This is the reason for example why if you use IceWM in a virtual machine, you’ll never be able to run the virtualization enhancements related to display.

You’ll need to try almost any other Desktop (not a Window Manager).

The same thing happens with GNOME as well. I’ll just use my old graphics card for now. Thank you for your time.
