Hi,

My son's system fails to get into a graphical environment after the zypper
dup --no-allow-vendor-change issued yesterday (to TW 20230917, kernel
6.5.3.-1-default). Trying to issue startx, the Xorg.0.login his home
environment says "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module¨.

then you do not have the nvidia pkg for the 6.5 kernel installed.  if G04,
I don't believe there is one "yet".

There is indeed no nvidia-glG05 or -4 package, says zypper info.

As said, too bad that one doesn't get warned for this omission when issuing the usual zypper dup.
Now we have a pretty useless system.

Is something wrong with this snapshot?

(We thought about doing a snapper rollback, but snapper says snapper is not
configured - isn't that done automagically when installing TW? It is
configured in my own system, and I can't remember having done that myself.)

are you utilizing btrfs?  if not, sanpper rollback is not available.

fwiw: my G04 system also cannot utilize the 6.5 kernel.
