I'm not an OpenSuSE employee but I went through the described situation many times. This sounds like a Linux thing. If you use Nvidia proprietary drivers you have to uninstall them before performing certain kernel updates. If you performed kernel updates, like performing a major version upgrade and then get the issues you are describing you can typically use the terminal to do a 'Sudo Zypper Remove Nvidia*'. Reboot and use the terminal version of Yast to reinstall the proprietary drivers. One more reboot and you should be back in business. If not, look up the documentation on blacklisting the Nouveau drivers. */Patrick Headley/* Linx Consulting, Inc.

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¨.
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.)
Thanks again for any suggestions!
