NVIDIA Proprietary Drive install lost resolution

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

After getting failure mode info in previous thread “Backup steps if NVIDIA driver install fails”,

I went and loaded nvidia proprietary drivers through yast software manager. Did a reboot. Appeared to go ok but did not get asked about mok file on reboot as I was expecting.

Problem now is not the black screen as before but I am in 1024 x 768 per randr command output.

Need to get back to 1920 x 1080. I am in mate desktop.

Nvidia server settings is now available. When run in terminal it says: nvidia server not installed

HWINFO says nvidia drivers in place not nouveau as before.

MATE resolution adjuster shows 1024 x 768 but unknown monitor. Can’t adjust resolution higher in this app. Has lost monitor info.

Need some help on where to go ahead.

Perhaps driver did not install since no mok message was received. In fact, YAST software management did not even say to reboot but all the other instructions I got said that would happen.

thanks, again

I am adding Xorg log. Kind of long but might help someone give me some insights. I had to truncate log file

Hi
Why still booting to multi-user (the 3 in your boot command)?

The G05 driver I’m assuming?

I would force the re-install of all the Nvidia rpms and reboot. I see low resolution on a kernel update (but I install the hard way).

#4

Malcolm, I did attach wrong xorg log. That was from a diagnostic boot to runlevel 3. I will generate a new one from a full grub boot and attach it.

I already did a reinstall (up arrow) to all the files associated with nvidia g05. New ones were downloaded and installed and no change to resolution. What is meant by forced install? Would deleting the files completely then reinstalling be different from upgrade?

Would you know why I got no reboot message? Is no mok query upon reboot significant?

I will generate new xorg file now.

thanks, tom

#5

Hi
Put the log here and set to never expire (sanitize the log if you need to :wink: ) SUSE Paste

No Nvidia xorg config file lurking in /etc/X11

#6

There is no config file in /etc/X11 as you asked. There is xorg.conf.d directory containing many files in /etc/x11. None of these files has been modified in over a month.

Is nvidia gfxGO5-kmp-default or
nvidia gfxGO5-kmp-preempt or

both packages supposed to be installed with GO5 drivers. I think software manager picked them both. I have not tried permuting these.

I am not generating a new xorg.log file on each reboot as I thought. Still looks like the original one here from earlier today. when are these regenerated?

thanks, tom kosvic

#7

Hi
You have kernel-default?


uname -a

If so, then remove all the preempt packages…

Xorg logs will be in your home directory, ~/.local/share/xorg

Hi
So if you have kernel-preempt ones installed remove them…

#10

Keep the default one?

#11

Hi
Yes;

nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default-460.27.04
nvidia-glG05-460.27.04

Can you also post the output from;

/sbin/modinfo nvidia | grep filename:

I see;


filename:       /lib/modules/5.3.18-lp152.57-default/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko

I wonder if your driver is in weak-updates…

#12

I have removed nvidia preempt package. nvidia default package is installed.

Rebooted and still no mok install request.

Still at low resolution. Still have unknown display or ability to change resolution in MATE controls.

Yast hdwinfo says generic monitor and has no information about monitor.
Yast hdwinfo says has right card id and says nvidia vender not nouveau

Do you want log file from ~/.local?

Hi
So you have secure boot on? Are you booting in secure mode?

As root user what is the output from;


efibootmgr -v

Yes, I have efi and secureboot.

That’s why I was expecting the mok key addin but never got it.
Your file list is what is installed.

Malcolm,

If I delete the proprietary nvidia drivers from nvidia repo, and reboot, will I automatically go back to the original install default drivers and be back at where I was? I still have the mesa-nouveau file tabooed so that should not get in play.

I can live with that rather than this low resolution situation…

By the way, grub was not affected and windows 10 loads fine.

thanks, tom.

Hi
Haven’t seen the output from;


/sbin/modinfo nvidia | grep filename:
#19

Sorry about delay. I went to windows.
See code attached.

DesktopPC:/home/tom # /sbin/modinfo nvidia | grep filename:
filename:       /lib/modules/5.3.18-lp152.57-default/weak-updates/updates/nvidia.ko

Hi
As I suspected, weak-updates since the rpm versions do not match the running kernel. Not sure if that may be the issue or not, I prefer the hardway… Might want to do that? https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way
