https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231067 Bug ID: 1231067 Summary: X11:Drivers:Video:Redesign/nvidia-open-driver-G06-sign ed: Bug - driver does not function after kernel 6.10 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software Assignee: sndirsch@suse.com Reporter: pallaswept@proton.me QA Contact: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Please refer to https://forums.opensuse.org/t/issues-with-kernel-6-11-0-1-default-and-nvidia... Symptom: The nvidia driver has a bug (fixed upstream in 550.120) which causes the fbdev interface to fail. KDE's kwin (apparently?) was using this interface. This meant that kwin would fail after the kernel update, resulting in a mostly-unresponsive system. Workaround: A workaround for this has been found, which is to enable kernel modesetting for the driver, using the kernel boot parameter nvidia_drm.modeset=1 The real problem: However, this should not be necessary, and for many users was not necessary, since the driver package installs a file to /usr/lib/modprobe.d/50-nvidia-default.conf, which specifies this option for this kernel module. All of this suggests that there is a fault in this driver package, which was hidden, and was exposed by the driver bug. If the modprobe conf file were functioning, then the module should have been loaded with the parameters it specifies, and the DE would load. We have a workaround, and future drivers will successfully work without the modprobe conf files, but it would be good to make sure the modprobe conf files actually work 100%. We presently have no clue as to why some users were uneffected by this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
