[opensuse-factory] Leap 42.3 latest kernel 4.4.71 cannot install Nvidia blob
Hi all, Has anyone been successful installing the Nvidia blob with kernel 4.4.70x and 4.4.71x while using Leap 42.3? ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia-drm.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb, or nouveau is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or no NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release. It was working with kernel 4.4.68 Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Roman So, it builds OK, but refuses to load ? Check whether nouveau is blacklisted. Rin mkinitrd.

Nouveau was blacklisted and I ran nkinitrd && reboot. Error still happens. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I had similar issues with legacy Nvidia driver 340.102. The fix was to apply three patches. I cannot find any for kernel 4.4. I have to apply patches to Nvidia kernel in TW but not Leap. Does anyone know if Nvidia files have to be patched? Regards. -- Sudhir Anand

I''ll check the Nvidia message boards. Something should appear soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

That is only a warning about unused variables. The compile of that part finishes fine. The kernel messages at the end are irritating though... Have you tried compiling/installing 375.66 instead? That one I run both on 4.4 (Leap 42.2 via the nvidia repo) and 4.11 (bumblebee/dkms compile). If that one works I'd also think it is an issue of the 381 line... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You can install the driver with the switch -no-drm. For example: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-381.22.run -no-drm ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.66.run -no-drm However you will get a warning message: WARNING: The nvidia-drm module will not be installed. As a result, DRM-KMS will not function with this installation of the NVIDIA driver. There is some discrepancy between Nvidia developers and kernel developers about the use of drm-kms. Wayland requires it. The DRM KMS support in nvidia-drm.ko is still unproven, and has some interaction issues with SLI, so it is disabled by default in the kernel. Known Issues * The NVIDIA DRM KMS implementation is currently incompatible with SLI. The X server will fail to initialize SLI if DRM KMS is enabled. * The NVIDIA DRM KMS implementation does not yet register an overlay plane: only primary and cursor planes are currently provided. * Buffer allocation and submission to DRM KMS using gbm is not currently supported. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Known Issues
*
The NVIDIA DRM KMS implementation is currently incompatible with SLI. The X server will fail to initialize SLI if DRM KMS is enabled.
*
The NVIDIA DRM KMS implementation does not yet register an overlay plane: only primary and cursor planes are currently provided.
*
Buffer allocation and submission to DRM KMS using gbm is not currently supported.
According to Arch. Enabling KMS causes GDM https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM and GNOME https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME to default to Wayland, which currently suffers from very poor performance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
