systemctl isolate multi-user (or init 3) then sh NV....run -asq systemctl isolate graphical (or init 5) Of course, but Knurpht - Gertjan Lettink recommended the NVidia installer options for update/re-installation in desktop. And I personally would prefer the NVidia driver installation/update after each Tumbleweed update within KDE desktop. The options --no-x-check and --skip-module-unload are made for this, but they do not seem to work like expected.
The following common situation is relatively time consuming and uncomfortable * Tumbleweed update o the update partially overwrites the NVidia libraries; therefore the desktop will crash soon without user actions o Kernel update o a full NVidia driver re-installation is necessary * NVidia driver can't be updated/re-installed in desktop (see above) * NVidia driver can't be updated/re-installed in text mode, because kernel-source does not match the running kernel version; options like --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux --kernel-install-path=/lib/modules/new-kernel-version are not compatible with DKMS * necessary reboot * the display manager starts in a low resolution (because of the missing NVidia module) * display manager must be stopped * manual NVidia update/re-installation * display manager must be started * have fun with a working desktop
ps:lines will wrap as you client doesn't wrap a <= 78 chars. Yes, I disabled automatic line wrapping in my Seamonkey mailer. The NVidia error message was up to 110 characters long. Automatic line wrapping after c < 110 characters would result in ugly result too.
What is the preferred line wrap option for this mailing list? Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
