No X after install of Nvidia G06 using the latest Tumbleweed

English Hardware
#1

I just built a new computer. It is Intel based using a Nvidia 4060Ti GPU. After installing the latest version of Tumbleweed and subsquent updates I checked the repositories. The Nvidia repository was already added so using YAST I added the Nvidia G06 packages. After rebooting I can no longer start an X session. It will make 3 attempts and then go to a console login. I ran zypper to update anything that might need an update. Zypper reported every package was current.

How do I get back into X?

Thanks,
Dave

What exactly?

#3

I ran zypper update but all packages are current.

#4

Just went back to the Linux side and reinstalled all of the Nvidia G06 packages. YAST reran the configure script after the install. No change, still no X

#5

It has probably nothing to do with your problem, but you should NOT use zypper up on Tumbleweed, only zypper dup .

#6

appreciate that. first time on tumbleweed.

#7

So go to Runlevel three, login, then type “startx”…

What happens?

I figured it out finally. Had to do with Secure Boot. I wasn’t doing the mok correctly at startup. I reinstalled all of the drivers and completed the mok script correctly and everything works great. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hello, I uninstall and install the driver again but when I run prime-select get-current says: No driver configured.
I have reinstalled the drivers a few times, it asks to write MOK on the boot everything seems to be fine but when I try to switch to nvidia nothing happens

Please don’t hijack other threads. You seem to have a different problem as the TO (he isn’t using prime). So please open a new dedicated thread with your problem.
