--- Comment #61 from John Shaw
(In reply to John Shaw from comment #59)
Unfortunately I can't really confirm what the exact version was for the nVidia update that came through. I tried hunting thoughout the saved snapshots, but only succeeded in hanging the yast snapshot tool after looking for differences between saved pairs. This is the first time that has happened, it may be that there were a LOT of differences in the pair I was examining. The current version for the nVidia driver is 450.66, but I doubt that helps much.
You chose quite a complex method to figure this out ;-) I'd just run "grep -i nvidia /var/log/zypp/history"; possibly prepend /.snapshots/$X/snapshot with the snapshot where the problem first occured.
I finally found compiled efi shell (from the Arch Linux repos) and copied it to by UEFI partition. I should be able to get into to from the BIOS. I can try to boot the opensusi shim.efi file and see what happens.
Thanks a lot for your cooperation!
From what I can tell, it looks like the driver went from 450.57 to 450.66 which would be a version change.
The current state of the machine (which I need for work, so I can't afford to screw it up too much;) is that if I enable SecureBoot, it DOES now flash what is likely a MOK message (what else could it be?). This is almost certainly due to the nVidia driver. However, flash is the operative word. I cannot read it and I cannot catch it with a key press. I tried a couple of times, but the message is up for maybe 1/10th of a second. What this thing needs is to pause for a few seconds. The boot process at least gets past this and drops into grub. If I boot suse, it fails to load the nvidia driver. I tried to reinstall the driver, but I can't find a way to get MOK to enroll it. Booting with SecureBoot disabled still works. I could not boot the shellx86.efi from my /boot/efi partition. The bios gives the option to boot it from a USB drive, so I guess I can try that. As you suggest, I could try and add a boot entry with efibootmgr, but the USB option is safer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
