Uninstalling Nvidia driver with YAST

English Hardware
#1

Hi,
Having installed an Nvidia driver using Yast is it possible to uninstall that driver and its associated files using Yast? I’d like to return to the nouveau driver. Can I just select the files set to delete and that would work or is it more complicated?

Regards Steve

Yes, you can uninstall the packages from YaST.
But, good practice would be to check whether it also removes the blacklisting of the nouveau driver.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
What is blacklisting and how would you undo it if you had to?

Regards Steve

In /etc/modprobe.d
there’s a file 50-blacklist-nouveau.conf ( IIRC )
remove that file and run


dracut -f

But AFAIK uninstalling the nvidia packages should take care of that.
