the opensuse 13.2 only runs in command line after booting.
have found some instructions - for ubuntu
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
except the package nvidia-common all other packages should be purged.
If you want to be sure that you will purge everything related to nvidia you can give this command
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
the asterisk in the end means (Purge everything that begins with the name nvidia-)
that does not work for me…
well in yast i found the following
asusfan - Fan Control for Nvidia Based ASUS Graphics Cards - Version 0,1 - 203.1.2
libdrm_nouveau2 - Userspace Interface for Kernel DRM Services for Nvidio Chips - Version 2.4.46 - 3.2.2
libXNVCtrl - Nvidia Control Library Version 340.76 - 1-28
nvdock Tray icon for launching NVIDIA Settings - Version 1.02. 10.1.3
nvidia-texture-toos - version 2.0.6.-23.1.3
vdpau-video VDPAU DRI Driver Interface to NVidia - Version 0.7.4.-2.2
xf86 - vidieo-nv - NViDIA Videotreiber für den Xorg - X - Server Version 2.1.20 - 7.1.2
Xorg - x 11 driver-video - nouveoau - Beschleunigter Open Source Treiber für nVideo-Karten Version: 1.0.9. - 3.1.2
No.
And you apparently don’t have the nvidia driver installed at all (unless you installed it “the hard way” via the .run installer from nvidia).
The only thing that you definitely should uninstall is vdpau-video, this only works with the nvidia driver and will break (hardware accelerated) video playback if nvidia is not installed.
You can also remove libXNVCtrl, nvdock, and nvidia-texture-tools, they don’t make much sense without nvidia either (but shouldn’t cause a problem).
dear wolfi many thanks for the quick reply. Will ty to do all you explained.
hope that i can go ahead - (this is a very very nasty issue) - and perhaps i can collect some more information that is useful to give you more insights into the issues.
Which commands can help here. What should i do to find out more bout the troubles i am faced
any commands - any ideas that i should do (perform)
Well, you should probably explain what kind of issue you have in the first place…
If it’s related to the graphics driver, posting your /var/log/Xorg.0.log is probably a good idea. At least it should tell what graphics driver you actually use now…
As mentioned, your package list doesn’t indicate the nvidia driver being installed. Maybe just installing it would fix your problems already?
So Xorg fails to start. The log file should indeed tell what’s wrong in that case.
A guess: you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that tells Xorg to load the nvidia driver, but you uninstalled the driver?
Remove the xorg.conf, and the graphical system should start using the nouveau driver.
Or, (re)installing the nvidia driver should help as well if that’s the case.
There are options to restrict the output, please have a look at the man page (“man journalctl”), or the command help (“journalctl --help”), as always.
But actually you should rather take a look/post /var/log/Xorg.0.log as I wrote.
Unless you are using GDM, in which case the Xorg log is redirected to systemd’s journal and some other file which I’m not sure at the moment where it is located. /var/log/gdm/ maybe?
Well, I see a lot of “No space on device” messages there.
A full root partition can of course cause all sorts of problems, including (but not only) Xorg not being able to start.
Make room on your /, maybe delete some snapshots if using btrfs.
