Hi, that's the answer. I took out the Nvidia packages described and rebooted, and now things work again. lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' shows that nouveau is once again the video driver. I'm not sure why those Nvidia packages were installed while doing an update, but now that they are gone everything is back to normal. I tend to two computers that had the same issue after updating, this remedy fixed them both. Many thanks, Mark Mark Misulich 12:22 PM (1 hour ago) to users On Sun, Jan 29, 2023 at 12:22 PM Mark Misulich wrote:

Finally, I am able to boot up to graphics mode under the　nouveau.

The ponit was to uninstall thesefiles;

kernel-firmware-nvidia kernel-firmware-nvidia-gsp-G06

These seem to be files required by Nvidia driver 525.85.05, but I don't know exactly what they are.

Well, yesterday I asked for your repository list and package list, to find out where those nvidia packages are coming from. So I'll ask in a different manner: do you have the nvidia repository active? If so, remove it. If not, taboo (use YaST) the nvidia packages it want to install. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

In short, if you try to remove one of the many kernel-firmware files, it threatens to remove kernel-firmware-all as well. I don't need kernel-firmware--amdgpu, kernel-firmware-intel,etc. I think the dependency settings in the kernel-firmware group are suspicious? More to the point, I compiled, built and installed Mesa on an Intel gpu PC (Leap 15.40), but the exclusion process for unrelated NVIDIA drivers or related files is incomplete, so it only can boot up to blasck sdcreen.

if you try to remove one of the many kernel-firmware files, it threatens to remove kernel-firmware-all as well.

kernel-firmware-all is a meta-package that bloats installations with most firmware in existence per platform. No system needs more than a few of the packages it causes to install, if any at all. It used to be that all firmware came in one monster package, but someone finally realized the waste that produced and split it into small categorical bundles, any or all of which could be omitted or included as needed. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
