yesterday I applied the update to the most recent kernel and unfortunately now my laptop will no longer boot into a graphical session. So if you have a Dell Precision 5530, don't reboot into the 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 kernel. If you did and it runs well, please tell me how you have configured your system, as I currently cannot even get the Tumbleweed rescue disk to boot (exactly the same symptoms: blank screen).
It has nothing to do with the Dell as such, but with the fact that it has an nVidia graphics card. Those problems have been mentioned a few time already on this list.
This is exactly the reason I only choose laptops that do *not* have nVidia graphics hardware. Living on the edge with TumbleWeed and the lagging nVidia support makes the chance on a non-functional laptop too big for my comfort.
is it *usually* simple to boot to an earlier version kernel and nvidia still has the best support for working graphic images. so all depends on one's expectations. I do not buy only nvidia but do buy nvidia for video intensive work. -- (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-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
