Tumbleweed not booting to KDE login screen after update with NVidia 710 GPU

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hello all,

I’m having an issue after installing kernels 6.5.2 & 6.5.3 I am no longer able to boot to the KDE login screen. It boots up to a blinking cursor in the top right and I have to switch to a different TTY to login.

I have uninstalled all of the nvidia drivers which allows my PC to boot normally however I did have the x11-video-nvidiaG05 (470.199.02-55.2) drivers installed when this issue occurs which corresponds to the version needed for the Nvidia GT 710 gpu.

I am unable to recompile the kernel 6.4.12 which worked with the driver version and GPU. Looks like the 6.4.12 kernel-default-devel package is no longer available.

Can anyone provide some guidance please?

Here is some more troubleshooting info:

My PC has AMD graphics for motherboard onboard graphics with a Nvidia 710 GT GPU.

You should have provided inxi -Gaz (a for all available and useful G data), and susepasted the whole journal for one boot.

When you removed the proprietary NVidia drivers, did you remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf or any files they added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/?

Is 6.4.12 still installed and booting correctly? It’s been available in Slowroll repo of late.

@mrmazda Sorry about that, here’s what you requested:

Kernel 6.4.12 is installed but does not boot correctly now either. I have not removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf however when I look in that directory there is only xorg.conf.install. Also in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory there is a file 00-keyboard.conf.

#6

For nvidia 470.x you need a patch to make it acceptable with kernel-6.5 +. I don’t know if you can patch G04 or whether you have to wait for it to be patched. There is a patch available at Joan Bruguera’s github or you can wait for the opensuse team (or whoever looks after it) to catch up.
Or you could install a patched version of propriety nvidia “the hard way”.

#7

@peteh100 Is that issue tracked in a bugzilla report somewhere that you could link me to?

What to do about them I don’t know.

#9

It’s not a bug. Kernels update all the time and drivers don’t always keepup. Hence the use of patches until they do.
I’m sure opensuse (or whoever) will make the changes at some time but meantime you have alternatives.

#10

Gotcha… Do you have a link to his kernel patch? I’m not seeing it on Github. Thanks

#11

The link is joanbm’s gists · GitHub. As I say, I’m not sure if you can apply it to G04 but it can be applied to the proprietary nvidia-470…
If you want to apply it to proprietary you can download that from nividia just look up nvidia drivers. With the 710 you have to stick with 470.199.02 and you can apply the patch directly to the run file but you have to tweak the first few lines beginning "a/nvidia-drm … and b/nvidia-drm … Replace the a/ and the b/ with kernel/.
From memory there are 3 lines near the beginning. Then apply the patch with “sh NVIDIA…run --apply-patch ”. Put both files in the same folder.
