I get a completely black screen, when starting. The driver I am using, is NVidia 384.90. The video card is NVIDIA GeForce 1060 GTX 3GB.
You ask, how I installed it ... as I used NVIDIAs own isntaller, I am going to use the repository nvidia drivers, even though they are 384.69. See if that changes anything.
I had a similar problem a few days ago when upgrading from Leap 422 to 423. I do use plymouth (it is not actually a plymouth problem here) and that machine has a GT 1030 card with 384.69 drivers. Here's my solution, perhaps it will work for you. (but proceed at your own risk; I'm an old guy sometimes prone to brain gaps in giving instructions in their proper order :-/ 1 - boot to the 'black screen' 2 - ctrl-alt-1 to a console & log in as root 3 - service display-manager stop 4 - if you had nvidia drivers installed before, get rid of them, i.e. "sh /path-to-your-nvidia-run-file --uninstall" 5 - zypper rm drm-kmp-default *** important: if zypper can't find drm-kmp-default it will offer to remove 'related' items, which are likely your kernels (!). Obviously, don't do that! Instead answer N and go to step 6 below 6 - shutdown now -r 7 - after that reboot, ctl-alt-1 back to a console & log in as root 8 - mkintrd 9 - shutdown now -r I got a graphical boot at this point but I still wanted my nvidia drivers back... 10 - ctl-alt-F1 & log in as root 11 - service display-manager stop 12 - sh /path-to-your-nvidia-run-file 13 - mkintrd 14 - shutdown now -r ...and I was back in business :) Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
