Sorry, but you are overcomplicating stuff…no rollback needed.

Simply perform the steps described here.

  • That means in grub menu, mark the line with the latest TW kernel-default-6.16.3-1.1
  • hit “e”
  • navigate with the arrow keys to the line which starts with “linux”
  • hit “end” on your keyboard
  • append a blank and a “3”
  • hit “F10”
  • (the above steps are needed to have a terminal session with internet access and are also described with pictures here)
  • login as root
  • perform a zypper dup
  • type “reboot”
  • boot with the latest kernel-default

Afterwards some basic houskeeping is needed. Remove the old Leap kernel and locks you applied (kernel “holds” as you call it).

Voila!
That are quite some easy steps to get you up running again.

Yes fairly simply, sciplets exited with errors and no GUI. :man_shrugging:t4:

As point out by arvidjaar, you did not show any proof. You can also use images.

My guess is (based on the complete thread), you have edited the wrong (still Leap kernel) grub menu entry. You seem still trying to install a TW package on a Leap kernel.

You can see in the grub menu, after you have hit “e”, which kernel you are trying to use. You need to use the Tumbleweed kernel!!!

This is a Leap kernel (as can be seen at the 150600):
kernel-default-6.4.0-150600.23.65.1

This is a TW kernel:
kernel-default-6.16.3-1.1

Provide us with a picture of the grub menu entry you try to edit (make the picture before you hit “F10”). So we can verify the correct menu entry with the correct kernel.

Then make a picture after you have issued the “zypper dup” command but before the final “yes”.

Finaly make a picture of the last screen where you say the installation failed.

We are trying to help you. But you need to help us to help you.

26

Additionally, if you say the installation fails and doesn’t boot with a GUI: simply drop to a terminal session (described above) and show us the output of following commands again (as picture)
uname -a
zypper se -si nvidia

And more important (to add to my post beforee), if you have edited the TW kernel entry to install the driver, you need to choose the TW kernel in the boot menu afterwards or you will boot again the Leap kernel which for sure will end in no GUI as explained several times by different ppl in this thread.

kernel needs to match the Nvidia drivers for the correct distribution.

27

My goodness, why would I lie about it, anyway, as I said, rolled back, you “won”. I am not 3 years old, so “I have to show proof”.

Need no further help.

Have a nice day

Nobody said that you lie. But you need to understand, that we can’t look over your shoulder. How should we know what you see on your screen? How can we help if you don’t provide any input to work with? “It doesn’t work” is not a good starting point to describe an issue. Without what you see on your screen, we can’t help you…

Different ppl in this thread tried to explain you that the remaining Leap kernel is the issue. And different help approaches from different ppl were also provided. So it is up to you…

Nobody won or intended to win. This is a technical help forum. Users need to work with the potential helpers to come to a good result.

I did, but it did not work. Done period. Thanks for your “help”. Have a nice day
