Screen is only 1025x768

English Install/Boot/Login

Today’s update resulted in only one screen resolution (1024x 768) available. Yesterday there was much better resolution.

When I try to see what the Nvidia settings are, I get an error message "Nvidia-smi not found.

I am running KDE-plasma-6.0.4 with kernel 6.8.8-1-default

@featherfoot force the re-install of your nvidia kmp so it rebuilds…

3

Perhaps you could elaborate on this answer. I tried forcing re-installation of the existing driver with no improvement.

4

@featherfoot so did you see the kmp rebuild?

5

I am a user here. I didn’t rebuild the driver. I reinstalled it. I have avoided rebuilding anything since my Gentoo days.

Ubuntu doesn’t have this problem, by the way.

6

What ubuntu does, or doesn’t do has no relevance. Their policies on what they allow into their repositories, or configurations they ship is entirely up to them.

Of course I understand that.

I was giving a smart ass answer because I asked for detailed instructions on what I should do and I was asked if I had rebuilt the drive.

I brought up Ubuntu because my favorite distribution has a broken display driver and I was annoyed because now I have to use my backup system.

8

@featherfoot yes, so forcing the install should have caused it to rebuild? So you should see output of the process of this?

So perhaps you can provide the output from the following four (4) commands if this didn’t occur;

inxi -SGMxz
cat /proc/cmdline
zypper se -si nvidia
/sbin/modinfo nvidia | grep filename

I suspect it’s these two, uninstall and then force the re-install of the G06 kmp and then reboot;

zypper in -f nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default

EDIT: Pasted the wrong driver, thanks @hui

11

Hmm, isn’t the open driver only for Turing and newer cards? The TO is using an older Pascal…

So IMHO the wrong driver (kmp) package is installed…
The TO needs nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default instead of nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default

That driver still doesn’t fix the problem…

13

@featherfoot So did you see it rebuild the driver? What does the output from inxi -Gxz show?

14

I saw quite a bit of output and it seemed to show no errors.

@featherfoot All very strange as the G06 still supports the card… nothing blacklisted…

Something is stopping it from loading… failed: nvidia

Is there a ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log file if so can you upload that to https://paste.opensuse.org/
