There's no console when swithing from X
Today I wanted to do a dup and found that doing Ctrl+Alt+Fx would not show me a console. I have a GTX 1070 and use the nvidia drivers (510.54) provided from the official repository. This used to work fine with past updates and kernels. Please let me know what relevant info I should provide. Thanks.

This should be fixed with the next kernel+nvidia update. Please have a look at https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195885 for the details. Best regards Thomas
Thanks.

Hello, I received the kernel update. Still no console. Will there be an updated set of packages for the nVidia driver?

The nvidia driver update, which enables linux console again is already triggered, but hasn't landed yet in nvidia's repositories. I hope this to happen in the next days or even hours. But I don't know when the kernel update will be released which disables again simpledrm. You need both. Looks like it's not included yet in 5.16.10 from TW 20220219.

... which indeed meanwhile happened.

I was proven wrong. This kernel already includes the disablement of simpledrm. * Mi Feb 16 2022 tzimmermann@suse.de - Revert "config: x86-64: Enable DRM stack for early-boot graphics (boo#1193472)" This reverts commit 8e500f570e98a3997e9f4bc80b4c45bba2a50789. Going back to efifb/vesafb for now. See boo#1195885 and boo#1195887. - commit 20d1fcf I was grepping for "simpledrm" in the changelog. :-( So things should be working again with updated nVidia packages an kernel update from at least TW 20220219. We already got positive feedback for this. Thanks, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
