Resume problems with Leap 15.6

English Hardware
1

On resume from suspend (hibernate isn’t enabled), I generally get a black screen with only a mouse cursor. Switching to a VT, I can see that plasma is maxing the CPU, sometimes kscreensaver as well. Hibernate is not enabled in KDE settings, only suspend.

Sometimes I can kill plasma and get back in, sometimes I can’t, sometimes I then get a black screen, and can’t get to a VT. If I have the cursor visible I can ctrl-backspace to restart X.

This happens everytime I resume with KDE+X and about half the time if I resume from KDE+Wayland (which has other issues).

Somebody solved a similar problem by downgrading to the 550 driver still available on the repo i-am-going-crazy-with-nvidia-and-suspend
You may do that with YaST-Software (“Version” tab) or via zypper:

LT-B:~ # zypper in --oldpackage nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-550.144.03_k6.4.0_150600.21

Problem: 1: the installed nvidia-common-G06-570.86.16-lp156.31.1.x86_64 requires '(nvidia-driver-G06-kmp = 570.86.16 or nvidia-open-driver-G06-kmp = 570.86.16 or nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp = 570.86.16)', but this requirement cannot be provided

 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  deinstallation of nvidia-common-G06-570.86.16-lp156.31.1.x86_64
  downgrade of nvidia-compute-G06-570.86.16-lp156.31.1.x86_64 to nvidia-compute-G06-550.144.03-lp156.30.1.x86_64
  downgrade of nvidia-video-G06-570.86.16-lp156.31.1.x86_64 to nvidia-video-G06-550.144.03-lp156.30.1.x86_64
  downgrade of nvidia-compute-utils-G06-570.86.16-lp156.31.1.x86_64 to nvidia-compute-utils-G06-550.144.03-lp156.30.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-550.144.03_k6.4.0_150600.21-lp156.30.1.x86_64
 Solution 3: break nvidia-common-G06-570.86.16-lp156.31.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

The following 4 packages are going to be downgraded:

The following package is going to be REMOVED:
  nvidia-common-G06

4 packages to downgrade, 1 to remove.

Package install size change:

Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y):

You may have to manually remove any 570.86 remnants afterwards (I didn’t complete the process on my test system).
Then, if suspend works, you may have to lock the nvidia packages to avoid upgrading again on next zypper dup:

Interestingly, according to the Nvidia website, the 550 driver is the current release, the 565 driver is a ‘new feature’ version and the 570 driver is a beta version. I wonder why the 570 version is being packaged as release? Does it have any features people are requesting?

4

There were several ppl in the past here in the forum which complained that only the stable release was available. Now, Nvidia and the openSUSE maintainer provide the newest available driver version…and again it is not right for some ppl.

I’ve not done full testing, but manually suspending and bringing back works OK for me with the 550 driver, so fingers crossed.

BTW I wasn’t suggesting the 570 beta shouldn’t be available, just wondering why it is the default for 15.6. I think 550 was the default for 15.5?

550 was the default for everything openSUSE until the end of January, but as @hui wrote several users screamed for 570 …and here we are with the 570.
Maybe when those new features land in the “Production” branch we will see no more beta version (but TBH I don’t really know).
