X does not start after recent zypper dup update yesterday. Also plymouth resolution become very low on start. Any fix?
Hi
I’m guessing your using the nvidia graphics card driver?
No, nouveau. Tried nvidia also - with no luck.
No, nouveau. Tried nvidia also - with no luck. After kerken 5.2.x nvidia driver does not work for me at all.
Hi
Is xf86-video-nouveau installed? If so remove that and see how it goes, else you can always install the nvidia driver the hard way… this is assuming your card supports the current G04, G05 drivers.
Installed. Remove it and install nvidia or what? Or just remove it? Seems my card only supported by G04 driver (GeForce GT730).
Hi
Just uninstall that package and see how it goes first.
I run GT710’s here, all is good installed the hard way with the 430.40 driver.
Just text login - nothing else. And still very low screen resolution.
430.40 installation script said that my card is not supported - only 390.x, while support page on nvidia site says that it should support. After installing rpm from nvidia repo (before recent zypper dup) KDE crashes on first notification. Will try nvidia install script now.

Seems something wrong with kernel installation/update: installed 5.2.5, but grub only shows and loads 5.2.3 or 5.2.2. How to fix?
Yes, I saw this page, however installation script says it is not.
Simply removing xf86-video-nouveau is insufficient if ever a proprietary NVidia driver installation has been incompletely purged. If /etc/X11/xorg.conf created by NVidia installation exists, or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ contains files containing Section “Device”, Section “Monitor” or Section “Screen” that NVidia installation created, they need to be removed. Once all that is done the upstream default DDX should be able to be utilized. It’s named modesetting, utilizes KMS, and is newer technology than the reverse-engineered nouveau DDX. NVidia driver installation can leave behind blacklisting and custom libraries that replace standard libraries, so uninstallation instructions from NVidia driver installation must be followed to eliminate those obstacles to utilizing any FOSS DDX offering acceptable performance. Rebuilding initrds after purging proprietary NVidia remnants may be necessary as well.
Have installed kernel headers however nvidia driver can’t find them. Still think something wrong with kernel version installation/update.
Suse rpms should be purged completely I think. However will check now. Have not installed manual scripts.
Hi
You should only need kernel-default-devel and maybe kernel-macros installed. But follow user mrmazda’s instructions first.
I’ve checked mrmazda’s instructions: all is clear there and uninstalled cleanly. Also reinstalled 5.2.5 kernel, re-run grub2-mkconfig - now newsest kernel is running - still no luck. Any other suggestions?
Hi
So no nvidia, did you run mkinitrd as well?
Yes, no nvidia, yes run mkinitrd. Failed to install 430.x, now trying 390.x - seems works: see login screen. What is wrong with nouveau, why it stopped to work? And 430.x definitely does not support my card. Now need to reinstall nvidia driver on every kernel update?
Hi
I would suggest a bug report to Nvidia then, or browse their forum for further clues…
430.x vs 390.x driver is not a big issue and subject of this topic. Good at least 390.x is working now. Why nouveau stopped to work and how to restore?
