Black X screen after last TW upgrade (nvidia)
Hi, I just did an upgrade of my Laptop (Lenovo T460p) to latest TW 20211203. I'm running it with the G05 driver from the nvidia repo, which worked before. I'd been offline here for a while (almost a month), so it was a large update, and I can't put the finger on a specific release. Symptom is, the screen stays black on VT7. X is running, sddm is running, just no display. Other VTs do work. I checked the logfile, but there's nothing obviously wrong. I.e., no EE or related WW entries... So far I had tried deleting the cache files from sddm (had been an issue at some point, I remembered), and (based on some trouble posts from September) tried kernel parameter "nomodeset nvidia-drm.modeset=1". Neither did help :( Any hints where to look? Pit

Hmm, two updates: - I changed /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager to log me in automatically. That resulted in a crash of Xorg. :-o - I tried booting with the previous kernel (5.14.14-1). X failed to run - (finally) remembered I'm on suse-prime, and switched to intel (modesetting). That works. I.e., definitely related to nvidia somehow...

I'd prefer the official packages to work - evading the bug won't fix it. For now, intel graphics is fine (and more silent, too :D )

what is the version of the G05 packages you have installed? current is 470.86-49.9 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc What sort of day was it?

Interesting. Where do you get those? https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed only has 470.86-46.1 But likely that's the source of issues? At least the kernel module version name is 470.86_k5.14.14_1-46.1, but kernel is 5.15.5

it does not matter, nvidia modules are built during installation. As long as they build and actually work, kernel version for which they were packaged is more or less irrelevant.

True, they are compiled when installing. My desktop also has a 5.15.3 kernel, with the same module 'version'. And they do load fine (AFAICT). Could it be some of the other programs/libs of nvidia would need a recompile due to some dependency change? Their build date is Nov 10....

Just for those following the topic: I opened a bug ticket, boo#1193527 and got pointed to boo#1192751 which I did not find in my searches. The reason is a regression between suse-prime and the latest Xorg server versions 21.1.x Unfortunately no fix so far :(( Peter Suetterlin wrote:
