System stop on starting X display manager after Nvidia driver update with zypper (during installation it complained for hash mismatch). I can login to console but GUI seems to be broken. Nvidia driver re-installation does not help.
openSUSE 12.2 (i586)
KDE 4.8
kernel 3.4.28-2.20-desktop
rpm -qa | grep nvidia
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-304.64_k3.4.6_2.10-26.1.i586
nvidia-computeG02-304.64-27.1.i586
You could start yast from the console login
Login as user
become su -
type: yast
Here you can re-install or remove
If you remove it should boot using nouveau.
zypper can remove it to
zypper rm nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop nvidia-computeG02
I recently switched to the G03 version
But make sure your card is OK for that
My update went without issue this time. The previous one was messed up.
Thank u for a quick reply.
Uninstalled nvidia drivers, it switched to nouveau, but nouveau also fails to load GUI another output:
udevd [307] RUN+=“socket…”
udevd [305] error: can not open "/sys/devices/platform/microcode/firmware/microcode/loading
As for the G03 version, I think my integrated Atom ION GPU does not support it as on nvidia driver download page gives http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/310.32/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-310.32.run
The packages required, though yours will be 02 versions are
nvidia-computeG03-310.32-15.1.x86_64
x11-video-nvidiaG03-310.32-15.1.x86_64
nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-310.32_k3.4.6_2.10-15.1.x86_64
Zypper gives strange long output during installation
zypper in nvidia-computeG02 x11-video-nvidiaG02 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop
output is below
It loads to Xtern and reports

Something is messed up and I can’t read the info at your paste site
Please use susepaste: SUSE Paste
Sure, here it is.

Yes I was OK
