[07-28-17 04:31]: googling for "opensuse leap 42.3 kernel drm nvidia" provides many answers *specific* to your problem.
Thank you very much for your response and helpful links. I was searching for "opensuse leap and kernel 4.4.76 issues". This was incorrect and your choice of search terms is better.
I will read through the links found and post if I am successful.
Once again, thank you.
Try removing drm-kmp-* packages. But I suspect it is not your problem.
Thank you Carlos and Patrick. I did indeed remove the drm packages. Nvidia drivers compiled and installed successfully.
I also installed the Nvidia repo and installed those drivers. I have since removed the rpms as I prefer to compile and install Nvidia's drivers.
This time round I did not download the 42.3 dvd and overwrite an existing partition. I usually do that and read the release notes. Instead, the repos were changed to 42.3 and "zypper dup" used to upgrade. I did not read the release notes. Made a mental note to read release notes in future.
Thank you both for your help and guidance.
As ever, this list invariably helps resolve problems.
With Kind Regards.
Just a final followup. drm-kmp-* package was marked as "taboo" in yast / zypper to ensure it not installed automatically. While upgrading, zypper installed drm package which then broke Nvidia with no access to graphical screen. -- Sudhir Anand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
