NVidia drivers and hardware accelerations stopped to work today again

Yesterday was kernel + nvidia drivers update. Today nvidia drivers do not load: hardware info tells mesa video card is used (what is it?) and no graphical effects now in KDE. How to fix? Use previous tumbleweed spin again? These buggy updates become boring!!!

tumbleweed switch --install 20211107

does not install previous spin:

tumbleweed status 

shows

target: 20211107
installed: 20211111

**
zypper dup** does not help. How to downgrade?! Or need to restart first?

Need to disable openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo: https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/jnmdk6/tumbleweed_cli_install_has_no_effect_and_wont/

Downgraded to 20211110, seems works fine now. Mouse was crazy with 20211111 spin version.

I am forced into reduced mode, I can neither reactivate the Driver Nouveau by uninstalling the Nvidia Drivers, nor use the hard way by installing from file.run :frowning:

Hi
If removing the Nvidia driver make sure the blacklist file is gone and run (as root user) the command mkinitrd

What run file version and how?

Unfortunately after 5 years of Thumblewwed this time something broke in the Dysplay Manager and I was no longer able to recover that installation. Not having time I reinstalled, but now I am as before with the Driver Nouveau everything is not very fluid and the Nvidia Drivers do not work

Hi
What Nvidia graphics on this system (I have a 1030 running 495.44 the hardway and not primary graphics)?

Hi Malcolm I have a Geforce GT 610 Driver Nvidia nvidia-computeG04 390.144

Maybe new Xorg Version?

Endeavour has also problems with xorg 1.21 and nvidia:

Maybe that file will help?

Hi
Old card, more likely the driver and kernel update…

Is it the latest build?


nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.144_k5.14.14_1-31.13.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-computeG04-390.144-31.7.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-glG04-390.144-31.7.x86_64.rpm
x11-video-nvidiaG04-390.144-31.7.x86_64.rpm

Still no results, Nvidia drivers no longer work just for me?

It doesn’t work for me too. I running Ryzen 7 CPU that comes with AMD GPU and NVidia GPU so I had “prime-select unset” or “prime-select amd” to get my GUI working.

When I use the NVIdia CPU by “prime-select nvidia”, my system boots into a blank screen.

For me does not work as well. Downgraded to 20211110 for now.

Hi
Up to 20211118 (5.15.2 kernel), four snapshots behind…

Nothing, not having time to fiddle with the computer I keep the nouveau hoping that at least those will work in the future

Have you seen this post on the factory mailing list:

Note to users of nvidia G04 (390.144) driver
https://marc.info/?l=opensuse-factory&m=163727429128119&w=3

Bingo, perfect now it works thank you very much :good:
