I had a working installation of opensuse 13.1 until last night's update. Since then the X server wont't start. If I run startx from the command line in superuser mode I get a message about a mismatch, where the nvidia driver component has version 304.121 while the nvidia kernel module has version 304.119. The message preceding the mismatch message indicates "Loading extension GLX". All the opensuse repos are for version 13.1. Anyone has any idea how to proceed from here?
Hi Alain, A "working installation" can mean different things. My guess is you have been running the manually installed nVidia driver and last night's updates (applied through the package manager) have broken that installation. If you read the documentation that comes with the nVidia manual installer, you'll know that it has the ability to completely reverse the manual installation. You can then add and enable the nVidia rpm repository and use that to install the driver. The benefit of this approach is the installation will no longer be hidden from the package management system and the driver will be automatically updated during future updates if it is needed.
