im trying to disable the nouveau driver btw,im following a tutorial where it says to put “nomodeset” at the end of the line that starts with Linux, but that line expands to 3 lines which left me confused, can anybody point out where do i exactly leave the command.
here a pic of grub i have:
This completely disables KMS in kernel and today NVIDIA driver supports KMS.
It is one wrapped line. You can put “nomodeset” anywhere on this line as a separate word.
oh-… after updating (sudo zypper dup) my pc couldn’t detect nvidia card anymore, so i google the problem and some suggested i disable nouveau. so i guess i will find another way. tell me if u know can help pls
If a card is not detected, it does not matter which driver you try to use.
Are you using the proprietary driver or the open nouveau driver
I had the closed source drivers since nouveau drivers never worked fine, it was working well until this last update that i did, following the update i noticed that they were deleted so i had reinstalled them with yast from nvidia repo, and now my pc only detect the integrated gpu
what is the output of inxi -GSaz

it shows that nvidia drivers are detected, how are you checking which gpu is detected by your pc, what is the output of nvidia-smi and are you using PRIME or switcheroo
you can also try blacklisting the nouveau drivers and enabling nvidia drm by creating a file name 50-nvidia.conf at /etc/modprobe.d/ with the folloeing options:
options nvidia-drm fbdev=1
options nvidia-drm modeset=1
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
and then run sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all and rebooting
When installing the Nvidia drivers, noveau is automatically blacklisted.
Better wait for @malcolmlewis as he has way more experience with dual setup.
How old is this installation? Days? Weeks? Months? Have you never had this problem before with this laptop? At what point during boot is failure first apparent?
Inxi reports you have two GPUs, with the nvidia kernel module loaded for #1 and the amdgpu kernel module loaded for #2. So far, so good. It also reports an nvidia display driver, appropriate only with NVidia GPUs, and a modesetting display driver, appropriate for both your GPUs. Even though ostensibly appropriate display drivers are loaded, inxi reports the GeForce to be inactive, with the Radeon active connected to the laptop display. It may be all that’s needed is to make use of suse-prime or switcheroo. Are they installed? Have you used either before?
If you never needed to blacklist nouveau before, it should not be needed now out of the blue just because of a normal upgrade, or did you? Did you upgrade using zypper dup, or something else?
u mean the update? just did it few hours ago. i have opensuse installed since april
no cuz im new to linux i guess
no failure or anything just lutris and my apps dont seem to detect nvidia, just amd
i have never head of these tbh i will try installing them and see
yes i did, and googled my problem and some suggested to disable nouveau
are you using the normal version of lutris or the flatpakk one, you can try launching the apps using
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
environment variables
These variables are fully integrated in suse-prime and prime-run
