No GUI on boot

mozzie · October 17, 2021, 7:13am

Hi. I’m using Tumbleweed and everything worked fine until I tried installing NVIDIA drivers shown here:
https://opensuse.github.io/openSUSE-docs-revamped-temp/install_proprietary/

I tried the nvidia-glG05 first then uninstalled then my issues started. I then tried installing nvidia-glG04 and uninstalled with no changes to my issue. I have a NVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER.

These are the steps I followed.

Setup the driver︎
With Yast︎

[ol]
[li]Go to YAsT2. [/li]> [li]Then Software Management. [/li]> [li]On the menu, click Configuration > Repositories… (or do Ctrl + R). [/li]> [li]Click Add > Community Repositories. [/li]> [li]Select nVidia Graphics Drivers > Accept > Trust. [/li]> [li]On the Configured Software Repositories > Click Ok [/li]> [li]Back to Software Management Windows" > View > Repositories > Select nVidia Graphics Drivers. [/li]> [li]Select x11-video-nvidiaG05 > Accept (Some graphic cards need G04, see the first section above) [/li]> [li]Reboot. [/li]> [/ol]

After uninstall now when I boot up it comes up to CLI. I have to run “startx” to get the KDE desktop to load. I also followed this guide here.

16.3.3 No Graphical Login

If the machine comes up, but does not boot into the graphical login manager, anticipate problems either with the choice of the default systemd target or the configuration of the X Window System. To check the current systemd default target run the command sudo systemctl get-default. If the value returned is not graphical.target, run the command sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target. If the graphical login screen starts, log in and start YaST › System › Services Manager and set the Default System Target to Graphical Interface. From now on the system should boot into the graphical login screen.
If the graphical login screen does not start even if having booted or switched to the graphical target, your desktop or X Window software is probably misconfigured or corrupted. Examine the log files at /var/log/Xorg.*.log for detailed messages from the X server as it attempted to start. If the desktop fails during start, it may log error messages to the system journal that can be queried with the command journalctl (see Book “Reference”, Chapter 11 “journalctl: Query the systemd Journal” for more information). If these error messages hint at a configuration problem in the X server, try to fix these issues. If the graphical system still does not come up, consider reinstalling the graphical desktop.

I ran “sudo systemctl get-default” and it returns “graphical.target”. The GUI still does not load. I ran “journalctl” and get this.

I know at one point at the login screen at the bottom I had an option to pick the session and I change it from whatever the default was to Wayland. Someone told me there is a conflict with nvidia drivers and that was the reason but I don’t see it there to change anymore. I looked at changing my display manager thinking that might help shown here.

SDB:Change Display Manager - openSUSE Wiki

moz@localhost:~> update-alternatives --list default-displaymanager
Absolute path to ‘update-alternatives’ is ‘/usr/sbin/update-alternatives’, so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).

Absolute path to ‘update-alternatives’ is ‘/usr/sbin/update-alternatives’, so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).

There are 3 choices for the alternative default-displaymanager (providing /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default-displaymanager).

I hope this is enough information. I don’t know too much about OpenSUSE but I’m trying to learn. Thank you.

In tumbleweed, it is better to install the nvidia drivers (and make updates/upgrades) from the CLI (virtual terminal or console), not in graphical mode.
I ma not a specialist of these problems but you could have a look at the blacklisted modules. By installing nvidia, nouveau was very probably blacklisted and it may have happened that it staid so after uninstalling the nvidia drivers.
To help the readers, you could also show which gpu’s are on your computer.
You can show the result of:

sudo lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga
inxi -aFz
lsmod | grep ‘nvidia’ (and ‘nouveau’, ‘intel’, ‘i915’,…)

An extreme solution is to reinstall your OS.

Hi
You 2080 GPU is only supported via G05 or newer… I would suggest booting to multi-user target and installing the G05 series or the 495.29.05 driver the hard way?

KDE is not ready yet for Wayland.
Nvidia drivers are not ready yet for Wayland. Possibly new 495 series Nvidia drivers will help with that.

Hello! Thank you everyone for your input. I actually got it fixed by using a (older/previous) read only snapshot and ran “sudo snapper rollback”, rebooted and continued testing everything. Btrfs and snapshots are a life saver. I just didn’t know about or understand them exactly until I read about them more. My desktop session is back to Plasma (X11) and using the nouveau driver for my RTX 2080. I do have video tearing now when moving open windows around, like Firefox, Dolphin, ect. I assume that’s from the nouveau driver.

Sorry to double post my previous post was too long so I have to break it up.

Everything you asked for from lspci, and is relevant to likely graphical failure issues, is included in the inxi output you asked for. The “kitchen sink” inxi you asked for is loaded with irrelevancies (audio, bluetooth, cpu, disks, machine, network, partitions, sensors, swap, etc) that a more concise inxi -GSaz would exclude. man inxi

lsmod | grep ‘nvidia’ (and ‘nouveau’, ‘intel’, ‘i915’,…)

Instead:

lsmod | egrep 'nouveau|nvidia|i915|intel'

(functionally same as grep -e). man grep/egrep
