[Bug 925437] New: multiple nvidia-*-kmp-* are installed during a kernel update for the same kernel flavour
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=925437 Bug ID: 925437 Summary: multiple nvidia-*-kmp-* are installed during a kernel update for the same kernel flavour Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: rommel@suse.com QA Contact: sndirsch@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When applying the pending maintenancen of the kernel openSUSE Maintenance ID: 3606 openSUSE Review ID: 292232 Repository URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Maintenance:/3606/openSU... the previously working 3rd party nvidia kernel module was not activated in the /lib/modules/3.16.7-13-desktop/{weak-}updates of the new kernel. As a result, either xorg failed to start or the open source driver was used. I guess this is caused by nvidia-*-kmp-* providing multiversion(kernel). Since libzypp is configured by default to keep the atest,latest-1,running kernel this resulted in having nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-304.123_k3.16.6_2-31.1 and vidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-304.125_k3.16.6_2-33.1 having installed at the same time.

same problem on SLED 12 with nvidia gfxcard
on zypper up did install a 2nd version of nvidia packages. On boot the X server crashed.
after removing nvdida packages and an installing them. On reboot X server start and behaves normal.
zypper rm nvidia-computeG03 nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default nvidia-glG03 nvidia-uvm-gfxG03-kmp-default x11-video-nvidiaG03
zypper in nvidia-computeG03 nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default nvidia-glG03 nvidia-uvm-gfxG03-kmp-default x11-video-nvidiaG03
Thanks, it helped a lot. For others, beware that if `uname -a` yields Linux jade 3.16.7-13-desktop you need to change all kmp-default to kmp-desktop in the above commands. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
