Hi! Thanks in advance for reading and helping!
I know that there are other Topics like this, they’re either not working or very old. I have an installation of Tumbleweed that is still very new, under two weeks old, with GNOME and GDM. I followed the official openSUSE Documentation for the installation of NVidia drivers. I’ve checked and they do work, I have the correct version, G06, and I’ve checked via Weston that Wayland is working. I’ve tried debugging a bit, and in the GDM configuration file I have uncommented and set enablewayland to true. GDM is only showing IceWM. I’ve double checked that GNOME is still installed. Thank you really really much for helping! If I have to give any more informations, just contact me right away.
Welcome to the openSUSE Forums!
Looks similar to what was solved with this: have you already tried that?
Hi! I am really sorry I haven’t seen that one. It has not worked for me, but I have already found the culprit to be GDM on my own afterwards, so I just switched the display manager for the time being. Thank you very much for telling me tho.
Can you show the output of:
zypper se -si gdm gnome-session
including the command and the trailing prompt and between code tags (the </> button above the editing area)?
@DrMrMcMister Hi, I just did a fresh install last evening on a test machine here and see the same thing… systemd-boot, SELinux and using the run file here.
Looks like it gets stuck with the open driver and is not removed… likewise there are a couple of packages that are missed which should help libnvidia-egl-gbm1 libnvidia-egl-wayland1
Can you show the output from inxi -GSaz
I’m going to re-install (I’m using the 20250508 release).
@DrMrMcMister @OrsoBruno Definately a clash between the open driver install from the oss repo and those two missing packages…

There is an actual bugreport with WIP that if the open kernel module is installed, the necessary driver packages automatically get pulled. But it will need some more time…
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1242181
libnvidia-egl-gbm1 and libnvidia-egl-wayland1 automatically get installed as dependency, when you install the Nvidia driver packages (“the easy way”). Not sure about when you use the run file (“the hard way”).
