Hi there,
I encountered some problems with the NVIDIA Drivers on my System:
I am missing my Virtual Consoles/TTYs that one could usually select with “STRG+ALT+Fx”, even booting to text-mode does not work.
That means: when using STRG+ALT+F2 i expect to get a virtual-console/tty with an text login or when adding a 1 or 2 to the grub parameters/kernel-line i expect it to boot into a text-login.
But all i get is a black screen and after a few seconds the Monitors going into Power-Save-Mode. Which is quite odd.
De-installing the NVIDIA and going back to the nouveau driver re-enables the expected behavior. STRG-ALT-Fx brings an virtual Console with an Login prompt.
NVIDIA Drivers are from the NVIDIA Service/Repo which is available through yast. Installation of the latter works like a charm following the NVIDIA: The easy way Wiki Article, no errors or anything there.
System:
Kernel: 6.10.2-1-default arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0
Desktop: Xfce v: 4.18.1 tk: Gtk v: 3.24.41 wm: xfwm4 dm: LightDM
Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240730
Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA GP106GL [Quadro P2000] driver: nvidia v: 550.100
Display: x11 server: X.org v: 1.21.1.12 compositor: xfwm4 v: 4.18.0
driver: X: loaded: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa
alternate: nouveau,nv gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch
Repos are the default Post-Install Tumbleweed Repos + NVIDIA + PACKMAN (the ones you can add through xast)
I already blacklisted the noveau driver and set nvidia_drm to 1 via grub kernel line.
But the “problem” persists.
Going back to the nouveau driver is possible, but as it does not seem to have any control over the Fan of the NVIDIA Card, which means having it running at full speed all the Time, i would like to use that Option as last resort.
The system otherwise has no issues, apart from missing virtual consoles.
Any Suggestions or hints where to look? I tried a google search on the issue but did not really have any luck finding a solution.
Thanks for any help or Info!
