Hello, Hello,

I am attaching parts of the xor.log and messages logs which seem to show that there was a mismatch in the expected driver 304.125 (which is what I have installed) and what the "client" is looking for (340.65). Try reinstalling x11-video-nvidiaG02. The kernel module has the correct version, it's the userspace driver that has the wrong version. Tried again, but still no good. Gustav

Gustav There are definitely files from G03 installed in your system and you need to remove them. Try uninstalling x11-video-nvidiaG03 and, if this fails, removing files such as /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glcore.so.340.76 (note the version after .so). You might need to reinstall G02 afterwards.

linux-wpre:/usr/lib64 # ls libnv*

Yes, it seems there must be some remnants of either g03 or g04, but not in that directory. I have only the g02 drivers installed, after removing all three g02 rpms's the command linux-wpre:/usr/lib64 # ls libnv* returns - no such file or directory. prior to unistalling the g02 rpms libnvcuvid.so libnvidia-cfg.so.304.125 libnvidia-ml.so.1 libnvidia-tls.so.304.125 libnvcuvid.so.1 libnvidi-oplrs.0.2 linii-ls.0.2 inii-f.o1 libnvcuvid.so.304.125 libnvidia-glcore.so.304.12 linii-pnls. inii-f.o3415 libnvidia-cfg.so.1 libnvidia-ml.so linii-oec.o3415 What happens when I try to uninstall the g02 rpms, is that yast > software management > then selects all 5 g03 rpms for installation. I have to manually taboo all of the rpms to prevent the re-installation of the g03 drivers. It was this strange behavior that in the first place caused the installation of the g03 rpm's. i did not pay enough attention (after the system upgrade) when I removed the old g02 rpm's. It was after that that the wrong drivers (g03 and g04) were installed. Any further ideas?

Sorry, but these instructions are incorrect. The packages that I had Gustav install via zypper are the correct for his display adapter and his system is now consistent.

One of the commands I asked you to run was this:

Your adapter identifies itself as a G96M [GeForce GT 130M rev a1] which is supported by the following driver: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/81761 Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver Version 340.76 Release Date Tue Jan 27, 2015 Operating System Linux 64-bit My system is a 'fresh install' + fully updated 13.2 x86_64 w/ KDE4 on an Intel Core2Duo based laptop with a G98M [GeForce 9300M GS rev a1] adapter.

Devices listed in xorg.conf.install are 'vboxvideo', 'vmware', 'modesetting', 'fbdev' and 'vesa' ... again, that's it. Then there's this section from Xorg.0.log: [ 20.299] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 340.76 Thu Jan 22 11:24:42 PST 2015 [ 20.409] (==) Matched nvidia as autoconfigured driver 0 [ 20.409] (==) Matched nouveau as autoconfigured driver 1 [ 20.409] (==) Matched nv as autoconfigured driver 2 [ 20.409] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 3 [ 20.409] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 4 [ 20.409] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 5 [ 20.409] (==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout So, the nouveau driver has not been blacklisted as it would normally (automatically) be when the nVidia driver is installed. And then there's this, from earlier up in Xorg.0.log: [ 16.242] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.7-24-desktop root=UUID=a79c28a8-3e12-4625-a79a-04a124903e97 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD3200BEKT-60F3T1_WD-WX80A89R6040-part5 splash=silent quiet showopts nouveau.modeset=0 The nouveau.modeset=0 declaration should have also been removed when the nVidia packages were installed.

The nouveau.modeset=0 declaration should have also been removed when the nVidia packages were installed.

What reason would nouveau.modeset=0 ever have had to be included except to prevent use of the FOSS driver nouveau, IOW, to clear a path for the proprietary non-KMS driver to function correctly with a KMS kernel? Wasn't it expressly created for the benefit of the NVidia driver, though it also works for troubleshooting nouveau, and enabling use of VESA and FBDEV even when nouveau is available and would otherwise automatically be used?

Knowing what you know, Felix, this almost certainly has to be true. :-) But my system's nouveau driver was blacklisted when the nVidia driver was installed and that declaration is absent on my system: grep 'Kernel command line' /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 9.325] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.7-24-desktop root=UUID=85a6f61c-8e11-4240-86d2-9b3ba908c048 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/456a524c-9adf-4472-8fb0-88bbdbd62b53 splash=silent quiet showopts regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I took it for granted that he knew the driver version corresponding to his adapter.

Agreed. However, such recommendations might not mean much in practice. Gustav, Another package that might cause conflicts is nvidia-glG03.

Save yourself some time. The results you gained from conversation here is no longer applicable as you "re-installed from scratch" and your system is no longer what it was that caused your concern. Perhaps a better approach would be to maintain a stable system with conditions known and after trying different configurations, you return your system to original state (pre trials) so knowing what "makes it better" can be realized rather than a lot of haphazard (not entirely) stab-work.

gud luk,

In general it sounds like good sensible advice. I don't know how to have a more "stable" system.

You miss the point entirely! It is about trouble-shooting and solving problems, it relates to "achieving" a "stable" system, not having a stable system to trouble-shoot.

As I mentioned this is a "test" system, though I do use it to project movies to a TV via HDMI cable, so it is also an "entertainment" system.

Makes no difference.

I am not an early adopter, so I have waited till upgrades are fully supported and only have done them by not skipping releases. So I experiment, but cautiously.

Also not relevant.

I am not a computer expert, I am a physician. I used vmware server in past till it no longer worked well in suse. Now I use virtual box (rpm's from oracle), and I also use wine and dosemu (all to run a number of ms medical and accessibility apps - dos, XP, vista and win7). My first, second and third choice is to do it with linux (98 % of the time).

Also not relevant.

Computers crash, become obsolete, I swap my machine with my partner when I need to fix her linux installation. How to keep better track of the changes? It is not a rhetorical question, I struggle with remaining organized, not only with computers.

Also not relevant. The point is about trouble-shooting the same system, with the "exact" same circumstances so the correct path can be realized to correct a problem. Without this would be no different than trying to solve your display problem not knowing that you were changing the adapter each time you attempted another solution/test/install/.... gud luk, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Gustav As Patrick says, Gustav, please don't mix and match pieces of advice from different people. If you follow the simple nVidia driver installation instructions I sent earlier, it will save you a lot of time and headaches:

With 13.2 fully updated, add the nVidia repository:

Name: nVidia Graphics Drivers URL: http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.2/

After this, log out of your desktop.

At the greeter (w/ log-in prompt,) switch to tty1 (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and then log in as root ("su -")

Install the software and reboot:

zypper refresh

zypper in nvidia-computeG03 nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop nvidia-glG03 nvidia-uvm-gfxG03-kmp-desktop x11-video-nvidiaG03

When the installation completes, reboot (In tty1: "reboot")

If you follow these exact steps, the latest nVidia driver that supports your adapter will be installed.

hth & regards,

Carl Yes, I did exactly that and it worked perfectly on the first reboot. The only additional step I had to take was to connect a cable to the lan

If this is indeed the case, this is a bug and you need to open bug report. There was one kernel update that broke kABI, but it was quickly replaced.

Or I misunderstand what "will not work" means.

Currently, nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-304.125_k3.16.6_2-32.1.x86_64 works fine with 3.16.7-24-desktop here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hello,

I recently upgraded my "testing" (that I use as the production system once it is stable) system from 13.1 to 13.2 online (not via DVD). I removed all repositories except oss and non-oss and changed to the newer versions. The upgrade seemed to go flawlessly, with no error messages. However, the system now only has the vesa driver working (I can get a low resolution desktop). I installed the nvidia drivers from the suse repos, but somehow the wrong drivers were installed (the g03 and g04 series). I have previously used the g02 series with multiple suse KDE installations on this laptop without any issues.

I removed the incorrect drivers and reinstalled the correct ones (three rpm's) a number of times and tried a number of fixes suggested in the SDB without success.

I am attaching parts of the xor.log and messages logs which seem to show that there was a mismatch in the expected driver 304.125 (which is what I have installed) and what the "client" is looking for (340.65).

I I am visually impaired and have difficulty looking through logs, so I don't know hot to be more precise.

It looks to me like the incorrect installation of the g03 or g04 series left something incorrect in place that prevents the loading of the now correctly installed kernel module, is that correct? Any Ideas on how to proceed other than re-installing 13.2? I need the nvidia driver, nouveau does not work well enough for a dual monitor setup I use. Thanks in advance, Gustav.

I had to download the installer from NVIDIA to get it all working.

Regards Mark I would not use the installer from nvidia (versus the rpms) unless I was really, really desperate. There was no indication to me that the rpm's were at fault, rather it was my lack of understanding. For my level of expertise (or lack of it) using the installer adds a huge level of complexity. It's complex enough, why make it worse? And why be despearate, I got great help? I finally fixed it by completely re-installing which I post on a different part of the thread.
