[opensuse] NVidia driver and Plymouth splash screen
Hi All, I've bumped into the fact, that Plymouth doesn't work with NVidia's driver. And before anyone asks me why I don't use nouvou ... then, it's too slow and occasionally I like to play a game or two. Isn't there a tweak to use, to get Plymouth working? // Bjarne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

don't know about tweak, works for me but I tend to add "plymouth.enable=0" to disable it. you do leave a lot for guessing, doesn't work ??? version openSUSE ??? version NVidia ??? video card ??? how you install NVidia driver ??? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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. // Bjarne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I never use it. I always uninstall it. No kidding. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE Malachite, Leap 42.3 x86_64 (ssd)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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

Plymouth works with KMS drivers. Recent nVidia versions have some KMS support; you may try to make sure it is enabled in initrd. Something similar to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting (adjusted for dracut). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
