By now the Kernel 5.2 has arrived for quite a while, until the new update of today 5.2.5 the Nvidia.run drivers downloaded from Nvidia’s function worked, now they fail and there is no way to install them, the Repository no longer works from a long time

Hi
What version of the run file? I have 430.40 working here fine with the 5.2.5 kernel…

I have to use the 390.129 that worked until yesterday on kernel5.2.3; today I updated to Kernel5.2.5 and I did the usual procedure from the shell nvidia-installer --uninstall> reboot and reinstall them again

Hi
Likely needs patching and creating a custom run file… Check the Nvidia forums for patches, they are pretty good.

Problem solved, in practice at login as usual I used Ctrl + Alt + F2 to enter the shell and compile the Nvidia drivers with the new Kernel, a message would come out telling me that I had to exit the graphical session, but I was out of the session graphic …; it was enough to give init 3 and then start the Nvidia installer and everything went OKlol!

What I do is after installing a new kernel, reboot and press E, add “3” to the end of the linux line and press F10 to boot, then re-install the nvidia driver (use options “-q -s” to skip all the questions), and reboot. Always works like a charm.

Two smal scripts, first to set “init 3” and reboot:

#!/bin/bash

systemctl set-default multi-user.target
reboot

Second to install the nvidia-driver after reboot and set to “init 5” and reboot

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/xxxxx/bin/nvidia

#Beta
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-430.09.run -a -q

#Normal
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-430.40.run -a -q

#Vboxsetup for the Download from Oracle
#cd /home/xxxxx/bin
#./vboxsetup
systemctl set-default graphical.target
top
/sbin/reboot

top is only to see, if purge-kernels.service is working…

Has the Nvidia driver directory been closed or moved?

Was at:

https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/

The directory is back up now - as posted in another thread.
