Hmm… Yast updater had an update. I’m going to run that through a couple of times before installing the G05 driver… ---

No bueno. I tried everything I could think of. (I did get back to a stable desktop. ‘Stable.’ Two things I notice. Even though I gave the Nvidia repos a priority of 75, it APPEARS to be using the X11 vendor??? ![](https://i.imgur.com/kSCN676.jpg) Both the G04 and G05 (appear to) try to use the X11 vendor Clicking the ‘Allow Vendor Change’ tick in Yast2 has no noticeable effect. The second thing I notice is that while switching to the above listed G05 package(s), it throws an error about some missing alternate, and a missing alternate alternate?? ![](https://i.imgur.com/WJhyKK6.jpg) That’s all the new info I’ve got. HELP! :’( ---

@“[jtlong@gmx.com](mailto:jtlong@gmx.com)” Hi, I suspect the update alternative error is from a failed install, maybe the manual way, or an openSUSE lurker…? I don’t see that error here on SP2… ```auto zypper if nvidia-computeG05 information for package nvidia-computeG05: ------------------------------------------ Repository : SLE-15-SP2-Desktop-NVIDIA-Driver Name : nvidia-computeG05 Version : 450.80.02-37.1 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : obs://build.suse.de/Proprietary:X11:Drivers .... ``` To be honest, I really do suggest a clean install of SLED 15 (SP2 would be better), then can work on what’s missing from package hub to get what your wanting 😉 ---

@“[jtlong@gmx.com](mailto:jtlong@gmx.com)” To be honest, if you have a subscription then yes for SLED, just bite the bullet and go for it. Else for sure Leap 15.2… So it’s still not using the driver? `/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "VGA|Display|3D"` ---

That was an IF of the G05, so you could compare apples and apples. Here’s the G04 that’s currently installed:| linux-gx1p:/home/james # zypper if nvidia-computeG04 ------------------------------------------ Repository : SLE-15-SP1-Desktop-NVIDIA-Driver Name : nvidia-computeG04 Version : 390.138-31.1 Arch : x86\_64 Vendor : obs://build.suse.de/Proprietary:X11:Drivers Support Level : unknown Installed Size : 70.8 MiB Installed : Yes Status : up-to-date Source package : x11-video-nvidiaG04-390.138-31.1.nosrc Summary : NVIDIA driver for computing with GPGPU Description : NVIDIA driver for computing with GPGPUs using CUDA or OpenCL. ``` linux-gx1p:/home/james # ``` Digging around, I have discovered that that specific file and it’s alternates are for OpenGL. I’m THINKING that what I need to do is install G05, again, then figure out what which it installs for the nVidia version of libglx.so then either switch a link to that file or change a pointer in a file or something. Here’s the command you requested just now: linux-gx1p:/home/james # /sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 “VGA|Display|3D” 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [Quadro 1000M] [10de:0dfa] (rev a1) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1631] Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidia\_drm, nvidia linux-gx1p:/home/james # off-topic: How do you make the code do the ‘pretty-print’ thing?

I know some of the command line tools I used to use back in the 10.3 days aren’t even available anymore, which is part of why I can’t just fix this stuff myself. I don’t mind learning new stuff, but I do NOT want to get stuck in a hole where different utilities and features I need don’t even exist in a new build. I know there’s lots of fringe stuff, like GNome Desktop enhancements thaa are slowly falling away, because nobody is developing them. ---

FYI, I just had to do a hard reboot. This issue is still ongoing. I still have to alt+f2 r nearly every time it wakes up… sometimes while I’m working. What’s the next step, switch it back to Wayland? I think you said it wasn’t on Wayland at one point. ---

So… I went to the xorg folder, typed ‘grep nvidia’… and it just wandered off in to a corner and stared at the wall for a while… Yeah… um… I guess I’ll give it like half an hour and see if it’s going to respond ever? Moving on… the .xsession-errors file hasn’t logged anything since December 1st. It has six lines, total: ```auto gpg-connect-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session gpg-connect-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session IceWM: reboot... (/bin/sh -c 'systemctl reboot ||:') XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0" after 1261 requests (1261 known processed) with 12 events remaining. icewmbg: Can't open display: :0. X must be running and $DISPLAY set. ``` There is also a file names xsession-errors.old which is also dated December 1st, with seven lines: ```auto gpg-connect-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session gpg-connect-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session WARNING: '/etc/xdg/menus/suse-screensavers.menu' does not exist WARNING: '/etc/xdg/menus/kde-settings.menu' does not exist WARNING: '/etc/xdg/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu' does not exist WARNING: '/etc/xdg/menus/custom.menu' does not exist IceWM: reboot... (/bin/sh -c 'systemctl reboot ||:') ``` Ah! I see that that is from the first time the G05 driver, broke the Gnome install and I installed IceWM from the 640x480 Gnome desktop. I’m not to sure what to query journalctl with to get useful output. I don’t know what btrfs is. I’ve got a stupid fast SSD drive installed, with nearly 150GB free in linux. I don’t notice any slow downs… but I have no idea if that’s the best thing to use… I imagine the SLED installer decided that that was best, maybe? ![](https://i.imgur.com/Mn8TOhk.png) My grep nvidia window is still froze up, I’m going to go ahead and close it.

Haven’t gotten that far yet, but I DID discover that SLED considers the Nvidia sourced driver as ‘tainting the kernel’ by looking at /var/log/messages ```auto linux-gx1p:/home/james # grep nvidia /var/log/messages 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144180-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [9.903560] nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144180-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [9.903569] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144189-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [9.960082] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144196-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [9.971040] nvidia: externally supported module, setting X kernel taint flag. 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144199-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [9.972811] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 238 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144200-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [9.973881] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144214-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.089637] nvidia_uvm: externally supported module, setting X kernel taint flag. 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144221-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.091576] nvidia-uvm: Loaded the UVM driver in 8 mode, major device number 237 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144230-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.289336] nvidia_modeset: externally supported module, setting X kernel taint flag. 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144230-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.289975] nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 390.138 Thu May 14 04:02:47 PDT 2020 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144234-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.306572] nvidia_drm: externally supported module, setting X kernel taint flag. 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144237-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.307318] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver 2021-01-03T02:41:46.144283-07:00 linux-gx1p kernel: [10.307320] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20160202 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0 2021-01-03T02:42:12.425889-07:00 linux-gx1p dbus-daemon[2874]: [session uid=1000 pid=2874] Activating via systemd: service name='org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' unit='gvfs-daemon.service' requested by ':1.3' (uid=1000 pid=2904 comm="nvidia-settings --load-config-only ") 2021-01-03T02:42:12.517964-07:00 linux-gx1p dbus-daemon[2874]: [session uid=1000 pid=2874] Activating via systemd: service name='org.a11y.Bus' unit='at-spi-dbus-bus.service' requested by ':1.6' (uid=1000 pid=2904 comm="nvidia-settings --load-config-only ") 2021-01-03T02:42:12.624804-07:00 linux-gx1p at-spi-bus-launcher[2957]: dbus-daemon[2965]: Activating service name='org.a11y.atspi.Registry' requested by ':1.0' (uid=1000 pid=2904 comm="nvidia-settings --load-config-only ") linux-gx1p:/home/james # ``` I don’t see anything wrong here, but perhaps there’s some session stuff or a daemon / driver that’s wrong that you might recognize that I didn’t? ---

Not sure if this is relative, but it looks troublesome: ```auto linux-gx1p:/home/james # grep Failed /var/log/boot.log [FAILED] Failed unmounting /var. [FAILED] Failed unmounting /var.

This part looks ok though, so I dunno: ```auto linux-gx1p:/home/james # systemctl status kdump-early.service ? kdump-early.service - Load kdump kernel early on startup Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump-early.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (exited) since Sun 2021-01-03 02:41:46 MST; 3 days ago Main PID: 1497 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 0 CGroup: /system.slice/kdump-early.service Jan 03 02:41:45 linux-gx1p systemd[1]: Starting Load kdump kernel early on startup...

Apparently, the failure to unmount /var is because journald is holding it open while systemd is trying to close it. [Previous page](https://forums.suse.com/t/dumb-question/35404.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.suse.com/t/dumb-question/35404.md?page=4)
