Failed Nvidia installation.

Hi,

Using 12.3, new installation. I switched to the proprietary nvidia driver (yast, add nvidia repo,
let it automatically install its packages, reboot).

Install log (trimmed):

But the resolution is wrong; the display reports 1920*1080, but it does not fill the window, there
are missing parts compared with what I see using nouveau. I think it is really using 1280x1024 with
FBDEV.

I do not have an applet to choose resolution (XFCE).

Nvidia driver has in fact failed to load, see “/var/log/Xorg.0.log” here:

But the word “nvidia” does not appear in the log, nor in dmesg.

I have no “nvidia” group, so I can not add myself to it.

Ideas?

For the moment, I have to remove the nvidia driver… :frowning:

You don’t have to add an nvidia group, it’s your user you have to add to the “video” group.

Oops.

Ok, corrected, but still Nvidia fails to load.

Carlos, what’s the model of the videocard ?

Could you post output of


rpm -qa | grep kernel-
rpm -qa | grep nvidia
rpm -qa | grep nouveau
grep nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf
dmesg | grep nvidia

Which kernel are you using?
I see 2 listed

I think it’s clear from the post it’s 3.7.10.

@Carlos: Have you tried installing the NVIDIA driver the hard way' at runlevel 3? Since openSUSE 11.2, my success rate installing NVIDIA's propietary driver the repo way’ has been less than 50%, and nowadays I just don’t bother.

I notice there is an error in the kernel sources, “make prepare” fails:

installing NVIDIA’s propietary driver `the repo way’ has been less than 50%, and nowadays I just don’t bother.

No I haven’t. And I doubt it would work because the “make prepare” phase fails.

I haven’t installed the nvidia driver since 11.4, I use nouveau in 12.1. I’m testing it because of
the chance that hibernation might work.

I removed the proprietary driver, machine can not be used that way :-/
