Quoting Adam Tauno Williams
Quoting Roger Luedecke
: Third party repos should be removed/disabled for a system upgrade because we cannot and should not support them. In the scenario of a zypper dup, no. ALL old repositories should be removed or disabled. I did not use zypper dup. I (a) disabled all third party repositories (b) booted from an instal DVD (c) performed the upgrade. I have now installed just the G02 package, removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf, reran nvidia-xconfig, and startx still fails with "This server hsa an unsupported input driver ABI version (have 12.2 need < 12.0)." It then dies with a seg fault / sig-11 in "nvidia_drv.so" 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Rebooting (since this appears to rely on kernel modules) doesn't change anything [I'd like to try a "zypper up" but since zypper is currently broken as well I can't]. In dmesg, at boot I see - NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 285.05.09 Fri Sep 23 17:31:57 PDT 2011 How can I just fall back to the nouveau driver? I tried removing all the nvidia related packages, reinstalling the xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau package from the DVD, removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but X still fails to start. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
