I have installed Leap 42.2 and I get random freezing.
This never happened in 13.2
What’s going on?
what graphic card and driver do you have
some integrated intel need uxa acceleration
so if you use an intel chip in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
set (create the file if it does not exist)
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
if you have an nvidia chip, nouveau does not work well with plasma 5 use nvidia’s propitiatory driver
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Easy_way_to_get_NVIDIA_drivers
if that’s an optimus laptop use bumblebee with nvidia (not nouveau) and the intel acceleration fix
(I’m not sure about this but if uxa is needed on intel only chips it should be needed on hybrid systems too)
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee
Could well be graphics related I guess. Overheating can be another cause. Some questions… Laptop/desktop? Model? Which desktop environment are you using? When the freezing occurs what steps do you need to undertake to recover? (eg reboot, restart X-server?) Or perhaps the recovery occurs by itself?
If graphics-related, this information might be useful…
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --gfxcard
System memory…
free
Freezing in what sense? Does the whole system freeze or just the graphical stack? Please, do provide additional details about your installation and hardware so that we can come up with something :).
EDIT: Got ninja’d by deano_ferrari. Apologies!
A whole system freeze so I have to reboot again.

Desktop environment (KDE, Gnome,…)?
this is a known issue, happened to me (I have a 240 too), the fix is to install the G03 nvidia drivers
zypper ar -f ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2/ nvidia
zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG03
KDE.
As I said, no issues with 13.2.
plasma 5 has issues with noveau it’s in the release notes
https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/42.2/#sec.123.nouveau
and the bugs
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005323
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91632
13.2 still used kdesc 4 but plasma 5 froze on 13.2 too when used with noveau (I had the same freeze with plasma 5 on 13.2)
I get the following error:
Problem: nothing provides ksym(default:fentry) = bdfb6dbb needed by nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default-340.101_k4.4.27_2-5.1.x86_64

Solution 2: break nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default-340.101_k4.4.27_2-5.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

you are using TW not LEAP 42.2!
there is no nvidia rpm for TW you have to use the run file from nvidia
so remove the nvidia repo as that one is for 42.2 and read this
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way
you will eather have to install the nvidia driver the hard way, or use a different desktop (lxqt is nice) or install LEAP
the main reason I don’t use TW is the lack of prebuild nvidia drivers
I used to know how to find out my hardware in SUSE 13.2, how do I do it in TW?
if you mean this
https://www.kde.org/applications/system/kinfocenter/
the kde info app is still there it’s just not on the desktop anymore
you can type kinfocenter in the run bar and it should popup
just keep in mind TW is a rolling distro and with every kernel update you are going to have to manually reinstall the nvidia driver
depending on the devs that can be anywhere from every two weeks to two to three times per week
for nvidia users I really don’t think TW is a good choice you should switch to LEAP (you can do it by changing the repo’s to pint to LEAP and executing zypper dup but that’s a topic for a different thread)
I followed the instructions and I got the following error:
ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. This driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver, and must be disabled before
proceeding. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your Linux distribution’s documentation for details on how to correctly disable the
Nouveau kernel driver.
I’ve changed the thread prefix to TUMBLEWEED applicable to your installation.
I gave no instructions regarding TW just a link
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way
and there it says
Blacklist nouveau
The proprietary NVIDIA driver module conflicts with the open-source alternative “nouveau”. The installer of proprietary NVIDIA driver resolves the conflict automatically by preventing the “nouveau” driver from loading.
Manual intervention is normally not required, but if you have to do it manually, the procedure is to run in root user’s shell:
# echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf && mkinitrd && reboot
The change will have to be undone if you wish to uninstall NVIDIA proprietary driver and use nouveau again.
so try running
# echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf && mkinitrd && reboot
way back when I use to install the nvidia driver from the run file I use to do it in text mode and it’s still the best way to do it
so press ctrl+alt+F1 login as root and enter in text mode by executing
init 3
then execute the nvidia run file bu running it
after the installation is complete reboot by running
init 6
seeing how TW gets new kernels quite often and you will have to do this with every new kernel you really should switch to LEAP

Your personal opinion about Nvidia should not be dictated to other users.
If they prefer to use the Nvidia driver it is their choice and only need
help installing the driver. I only find doing the driver install “the
hard way” a minor inconvenience and one I accept. I will help anyone
needing help but keep in mind I am only here in the morning.

Make sure you reboot to run level 3 first before trying to install the
driver. Then you will not have any problems installing the driver.
