Bug 1204143

Can confirm this on my system.
I guess updating NVIDIA drivers to 515.76 would fix the issue, but that will also cause numerous issues on RTX 3000 cards that are connected via HDMI...
This seems to be the necessary commit in nvidia-open, maybe it can somehow be backported to the proprietary driver?

yeah it was nice surprise when I rebooted my system after the 6.0 kernel update and system didn't work (sigh), it would nice if there was some kind of a check that SUSE wouldn't release a major kernel update if the nvidia drivers wont work with it (yes I know its pain, but what can you do...it's nvidia)


well at least I could build 515.76 on my own obs repo and update my system to it...but I dont think this should be expected behaviour

Same problem with G05 drivers.

Logging into gnome with gdm throws me back to the login screen. (rebooting into 5.19.13 fixes it).

How can they push a kernel to the live repositories without even testing that the basic display drivers work for the basic gfx card lines?

Thanks for looking into fixing this.

c.j@tuta.io the NVIDIA drivers are not part of the official repositories, not tested, and they are distributed by NVIDIA, not SUSE.

Yes, but this is the problem of SUSE to deliver a good OS. SUSE cannot ignore that there are users who use Nvidia driver.

It is possible in rpm installation to test the version of the NVIDIA kernel part. No ?

How to get a good OS if everyone does not care of the compliance of his work to the others? It's a team work.

Sorry, guys! I missed the .76 update completely. Also nobody cared to inform me about the planned Kernel 6.0 update in TW. :-( I noticed nvidia build failing against 6.0-pre since some time ... if I would have know a few days before we would not be in this situation now.

Anyway, I have prepared packages now (also G05 and G04) and will push them towards NVIDIA later today.

@stefan

thanks

Many Thanks !

I wonder if the old dkms technology is better.
Less work adn more reliable. The nvidia driver is automatically updated when the kernel is updated.

I have no idea where in the world you are but I have a couple of beers with your name on them in my fridge...

Is that part of DKMS, that sources are updated as well? AFAIK it just rebuilds the sources when booting a new kernel, for which the module has not been built yet. About the same does our "KMP" package for Tumbleweed ...

done

Thanks Stefan for the fast reaction. "internal communication" at SUSE needs a bit of improvement, I guess ;-) Can we download the rpm directly somewhere of just wait for the repo update?

Unfortunately no, but you can build it yourself if you're familiar with our buildservice.

  https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG06

I tested this morning with a manual compilation of NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.76.run and it worked without any issues on kernel 6.0.0-1-default.

I updated my headless installation of the nvidia card with 515.76 from

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ahjolinna/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:ahjolinna.repo

Success

Any update on when they will be available from the standard repos?

(In reply to David Holmberg from comment #19)
> Any update on when they will be available from the standard repos?

Not before tonight. Hopefully somewhen tomorrow. That's all I can say ...

But be aware, that the G04/G05 changes for 6.0 will disable the ACPI interface for those drivers.. 

I would be interested in feedback regarding this!

sorry for the possibly stupid question, but what exactly does that mean? I understand correctly that, for example, the hibernation state will become unavailable, as well as fan control?

Side question: The naming schemes at NVIDIA are really "non-intuitive", I normally use the "G05" versions "for GeForce 600 series and newer". But thats more a "tradition" than a technical decision (hardware is NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650] ). The G06 versions are for "GeForce 700 series and newer". 

What would be the correct version for my hardware?

I'm running G06 with the same graphics card...

I understand this.

The last G06 is for all cards

G06 = G05 + last cards

G05 = G06 - new cards in G06

G04 = G05 - new cards in G05

In case of nothing is installed about your nvidia card for any reason

To auto-detect and install the right driver for your hardware, run:

sudo zypper install-new-recommends --repo <name of the nvidia repo>

If you want to know <name of the nvidia repo> then run

sudo zypper repos

One way to determine the appropriate driver is to input your hardware information into Nvidia's driver search engine

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

G06 supports anything later than Kepler microarchitecture. nVidia removed support for Kepler in 515.xx. Therefore I introduced G06 driver series.

Is there somewhere I can check to see if the repo has been updated?  Thanks for the quick fix, Stefan.

"zypper ref" should do it... ;)

We need an automatism to manage this problem and to forbid any update of the kernel if it is not compliant to the nvidia driver.

The main problem with all the nvidia drivers is that "someone at nvidia" has to manually (i think) publish the finished RPM packages to the repo - and usually forgets one step or the other, so the availability of new nvidia drivers more often than not announces itself by the repo being broken for a day or two 0.o

so .. why is it not simply published automatically and reliably on OBS instead...? I mean, obviously because NVIDIA says so, but what is their reasoning (if any)?

I hope the open driver will be mature soon.

I've tried that already. Result boils down to:
We (the SUSE kernel hackers) will not submit to the dictates of a proprietary package.

The update has arrived. The driver is working. Thank.

Don't get your hopes up too much as if anything, it will only be available for rather new GPUs. Also see https://lwn.net/Articles/910343/ (article is currently subscriber-only but will be publicly available in a day or two, i.e. a week after it was initially published).

Oh. Thanks for letting us know. Indeed the repositories have been updated. So let's close this ticket.

This means basically, if the SUSE kernel hackers have a choice between waiting some days for a proprietary package and frustrating all Nvidia users, they choose the latter.

Thank you for this fix, I can confirm it's working for me!
