Today I have updated the kernel and it no longer finds the nvidia kernel module
tried modprobe nvidia it says it doesn’t exists
please help
Hello
I also have a problem with nvidia.
We already discussed this topic in a closed topic prime-select can't switch to nvidia
It was temporarily solved.
I can’t express how annoying is to deal with these kind of problem after every update. There is no a fixed list of steps I could follow manually to make it work again, because the steps worked a month ago, doesn’t work at the next time.
It is a constant problem to use an external monitor.
I am not sticked to the nvidia driver, I would happily use the nouveau driver as well. I just want to use my laptop with an external monitor.

@balazsmanus Hi, perhaps some more detail, what desktop environment, Xorg or Wayland? What graphics card(s) and driver in use.
Using gnome 46 with xorg. Also RTX 3050 with G06 drivers
@balazsmanus can you show the output from inxi -GSaz

@balazsmanus and there in lies the issue… suse-prime, it only works with Xorg, desktops are defaulting to wayland these days. It also doesn’t seem to play well with RTX cards.
Have a read of the following two threads about using switcheroo-control, now this is assuming you do have integrated Intel GPU (igpu) and the Nvidia card is a dGPU?
Ref 2. https://forums.opensuse.org/t/how-to-switch-to-the-nvidia-dgpu-in-tumbleweed/175576
I don’t have iGPU (Intel F cpu) only discrete.
Semms that reinstalling nvidia drivers with the .run installer fixed the issue.
Some GNOME apps don’t start because of some drm/dri, probably playing with options may fix this issue too.
@balazsmanus you could just force the reinstall of the kmp as this will force a rebuild of the kernel module for the running kernel. If it’s not added to the boot options addfbdev=1 nvidia_drm.modeset=1 via YaST Bootloader, it may also be worthwhile enabling the GSP firmware via the following file;
/etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf
##Enable NVIDIA GSP Firmware
options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=1

The K620 is an older arch…
At least gnome opens propertly as it should. Games dead vulkan doesn’t find the gpu, haven’t tried opengl yet.
Hopefully they fix the update issue in suse
OP has only one GPU, while you have two. That makes your problem different from OP’s. Please use a new thread or ask mods to reopen yours.

@Sweetchuck yes a new thread, else look at the links I provided here: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/nvidia-kernel-module-not-found/175600/9.
