NVIDIA drivers does not being used

gongalov71 · June 15, 2021, 9:40am

Hi, guys,
I upgraded my laptop from openSUSE 15.2 to 15.3 but it seams the system doesnt use the nvidia proprietary drivers that I installed following this guide

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

My system info:

I also tried The hard way but ended with a black screen with a non-flashing cursor and unable to do anything. After that i made a fresh install of 15.3, denied the installation of nouveau driver and then installed nvidia drivers via Yast. The system is UEFI with SecureBoot enabled, but I stuck on that part. I have no directory called /var/lib/nvidia-pubkeys/ (double checked this from console and Dolphin), so I cant execute the command

mokutil --import /var/lib/nvidia-pubkeys/MOK-nvidia-gfxG05-460.80_k5.3.18_57-lp153.38.1.der --root-pw

as it’s described in the guide.
Can anyone help me with this issue. I’m not feeling very comfortable in the console, so any help with this will be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.

Try to disable secure boot.
You need drivers for Leap 15.3.

gongalov71 · June 18, 2021, 11:33pm

I disabled SecureBoot from BIOS before installation
Downloaded drivers from nvidia website, the file name is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.84.run
First, installed drivers via Yast, not working
Disabled Nouveau, GUI gone, installed drivers from the .run script via the CLI. The result was drivers installed successfuly but no GUI (broken X Server)
Those 4 points took me 5 days and uncountable reinstallations of openSUSE and the nvidia drivers in any possible way
I STILL DONT HAVE WORKING NVIDIA DRIVERS

What he hell should I do to get this **** work for me?

Sauerland · June 18, 2021, 11:41pm

Why do all people mean they have to uninstall nouveau when they install an nvidia driver?
I have not done that in 10 years, using the nvidia drivers from repo and the last years from the webside.

gongalov71 · June 18, 2021, 11:53pm

didnt uninstalled them, just blacklisted, as it is said here. I know I’m doing something wrong, but can’t figure out what it is. This part here is not very clear for me. What exactly should I do to boot without nouveau - write splash=silent quiet nomodeset 3 showopts in Yast, or reboot and write the same in GRUB (I tried that and broke the system)

3 means= boot in multiuser.target, init 3 no graphical session.
This is only temporarily to build the drivers from the run-file.

Delete it.

@Sauerland

OK, lets start over. Thats my laptop
ASUS TUF Gaming FX705DD/DT/DU

[ilian@localhost:~> sudo hwinfo --gfxcard | grep Model

ilian@localhost:~>

Now I have a clean install of openSUSE 15.3 with blacklisted nouveau during the installation. In my /home directory I have downloaded 2 nvidia drivers - the stable one (460.84) and the newest one (465.31) and Yast offers 460.80 via the nvidia community repo. Actually I dont care which one I should install, I just want it to work. So please, tell me, what are my next steps

Sauerland · June 19, 2021, 7:18am

Now I have a clean install of openSUSE 15.3 with blacklisted nouveau during the installation

Why blacklisting so early?
Should all be done automatically by the nvidia driver.

Please post:

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EiA3 'vga|3d|display'

To get all graphic cards and the used drivers .

Sauerland · June 19, 2021, 10:22am

So you have a AMD and Nvidia Card inside…

Have you disabled the AMD in the UEFI/Bios?

gongalov71 · June 19, 2021, 11:44pm

Yes, and no, didnt found any option for that in BIOS, but I’ve never did this before, when installed nvidia drivers on previous versions of openSUSE.

Sauerland · June 20, 2021, 7:44am

I am not a friend of 2 graphic cards in a computer.

So I have not spend any time with this.

gongalov71 · June 20, 2021, 8:27am

I suppose the driver will take care of this, at lest as I said, that was the case on previous versions of openSUSE (15.0, 15.1, 15.2) when I installed nvidia drivers on this laptop.

Sauerland · June 20, 2021, 9:48am

See inside the logs:
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log

gongalov71 · June 20, 2021, 1:01pm

Yes, I will, but first I must install the driver. I will try to install it via Yast. And this is what i recieve when adding the community repo (my system is in bulgarian)

https://i.imgur.com/0BbhD8Z.png

This means: The repo file is signed with unknown GnuPG key. Using it is a big security risk for your system.

Sauerland · June 20, 2021, 1:29pm

If you have not added the key…

gongalov71 · June 20, 2021, 6:59pm

Still not added it

Svyatko · June 21, 2021, 8:12am

Nvidia recommends it.
I was able to install and run Nvidia’s drivers only after deleting nouveau drivers.

Svyatko · June 21, 2021, 8:13am

Without adding this key you cannot use that repo.

Sauerland · June 21, 2021, 4:29pm

Can you post me the Recommendation of Nvidia?
I think not uninstall, only blacklisting…
