I have been using openSUSE for several years now, but always with laptops. Now I purchased a desktop PC with a Geforce RTX 3070.
I need some guidance on the proper way of configuring this graphics cards in order to have a functional system as well as a system where I could play some games and take advantage of that card.
Unfortunately I end up with a system with the following problems:
The TTYs (CTRL+ALT+F?) stopped working
The Gnome login screen works, but once I put in my password the screen goes black with only the mouse pointer showing in it
So, can you point me in the right direction? How can I fix/reset my install now?
No problem if I’ll need to reinstall openSUSE from scratch, the only thing I need is to get to know the proper way of configuring this model of graphics card.
Did you try to boot in the recovery mode, it’s one of the options in grub menu.
I use the .run file with nvidia though mine is an old one.
The way I do it is. in
/etc/modprobe.d
I have a 50-blacklist.conf and I add the option
[options nouveau modeset=0/CODE]
Then after adding and saving it I run
mkinitrd
Then reboot and run the nvidia .run installer in init 3.
I want to add that my nvidia card doesn't behave with systemd, it distroys the suspend/sleep capability.
so I use the option
Quoting my post.
If you decide to use the .run installer (hardway) you might as well install the DKMS package from tumbleweed
so you will not be reinstalling the .run installer over and over again every kernel version update.
You will use the .run installer again if there is a new version that you download in the nvidia driver site.
That’s great to hear! I’ll definitely give it a try.
So, does that mean you’re able to use your card at its full capacity? Meaning playing heavy games and other stuff? Or just that you do not get the problems I got?
Anyway, what does “6 series” even mean? I mean, how can I be sure that a RTX 30** card is actually part of “6 series” (is it)?
