Do you have the kernel-default-extra and kernel-default-optional packages installed?

Please let me know if there are any additional steps I should take or if further information is needed. Thank you, -Jacopo It does not show the 6.4 kernel installed at all. Jacopo, the nouveau kernel driver was intentionally moved into kernel-default-extra several Leap releases back. Kernel-default is not any more enough for FOSS-only NVidia users in need of respectable graphics performance. For every kernel-default installed, its corresponding kernel-default-extra is required as well, lest there be no nouveau kernel module available. Thus, this bug is invalid as summarized. The question I have is why if you had the 6.4 kernel installed, but removed it because of graphics trouble it seemed responsible for, that the 6.4 kernel-default (apparently) was not accompanied by 6.4 kernel-default-extra, when all your 5.14 kernels were.

Hi Michal and Felix, Thank you for your prompt responses. I have reinstalled the 6.4 kernel, and here are the updated package details: Package Versions jacopo@pc0:~> rpm -q kernel-default kernel-default-extra kernel-default-optionalkernel-default-5.14.21-150500.295.1.g28dcd75.x86_64 kernel-default-5.14.21-150500.298.1.g40e256a.x86_64 kernel-default-5.14.21-150500.293.1.ge008690.x86_64 kernel-default-5.14.21-150500.294.1.g51d8359.x86_64 kernel-default-6.4.0-150600.21.2.x86_64 kernel-default-extra-6.4.0-150600.21.2.x86_64 kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150500.293.1.ge008690.x86_64 kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150500.298.1.g40e256a.x86_64 kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150500.295.1.g28dcd75.x86_64 kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150500.294.1.g51d8359.x86_64 kernel-default-optional-5.14.21-150500.295.1.g28dcd75.x86_64 kernel-default-optional-6.4.0-150600.21.2.x86_64 kernel-default-optional-5.14.21-150500.298.1.g40e256a.x86_64 kernel-default-optional-5.14.21-150500.294.1.g51d8359.x86_64 kernel-default-optional-5.14.21-150500.293.1.ge008690.x86_64 Current Issue After reinstalling the 6.4 kernel and ensuring that both kernel-default-extra and kernel-default-optional packages are installed, I am now able to see the Leap logo during boot. However, I do not reach the DE (Desktop Environment) login page (XFCE). The screen remains blank after the Leap logo is displayed. Steps Taken Reinstalled the 6.4 kernel and verified the installation of kernel-default-extra and kernel-default-optional packages. Booted using the kernel-default-6.4.0-150600.21.2.x86_64 kernel. Observed the Leap logo appears during boot, but the screen goes blank thereafter, without reaching the XFCE login page. Additional Information The issue was initially related to the missing Nouveau driver, which has now been addressed with the installation of kernel-default-extra. The problem now seems to be transitioning from the boot logo to the DE login screen. Please let me know if there are any additional diagnostics or logs I can provide to help resolve this issue. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, -Jacopo Hi all, I have added Takashi Iwai to the CC list as he previously resolved a similar issue (ref. Bug 1220030) related to the touchpad not being recognized on my MacBook Pro 5.1 with a different kernel version. His expertise and familiarity with the hardware might provide valuable insights into the current problem with the 6.4.0-150600.21.2-default kernel. Thank you, -Jacopo |
Description The Nouveau driver is missing in the kernel version 6.4.0-150600.21-default, causing issues with GPU functionality. This problem does not occur in the previous kernel version 5.14.21-150500.298.g40e256at, where the Nouveau driver works as expected. Steps to Reproduce Boot the system using the kernel version 6.4.0-150600.21-default. Attempt to list the Nouveau driver directory: bash ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/ Observe that the directory is missing. Attempt to include the Nouveau driver using dracut: bash sudo dracut --force --add-drivers "nouveau" Observe that dracut reports the Nouveau driver cannot be found. Expected Results The Nouveau driver should be present and functional in kernel version 6.4.0-150600.21-default, similar to its presence and functionality in kernel version 5.14.21-150500.298.g40e256at. Actual Results The Nouveau driver is missing from kernel version 6.4.0-150600.21-default, leading to the following errors: ls: impossibile accedere a '/lib/modules/6.4.0-150600.21-default/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/': File o directory non esistente dracut-install: Failed to find module 'nouveau' Additional Information Hardware: <pre>cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz, 2066 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz, 2233 MHz keyboard: /dev/input/event14 Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad (ISO) /dev/tty7 serial console mouse: /dev/input/mice Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad (ISO) monitor: Apple LCD Monitor Apple LCD Monitor graphics card: nVidia C79 [GeForce 9400M] nVidia G96CM [GeForce 9600M GT] sound: nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 storage: nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 network: wlan0 Apple AirPort Extreme eth0 nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 /dev/input/event8 OSA Express Network card network interface: wlan0 WLAN network interface lo Loopback network interface eth0 Ethernet network interface disk: /dev/sda CT250MX500SSD1 partition: /dev/sda1 Partition /dev/sda2 Partition /dev/sda3 Partition cdrom: /dev/sr0 MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 usb controller: nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 bios: BIOS bridge: nVidia MCP79 PCI Express Bridge nVidia MCP79 PCI Express Bridge nVidia MCP79 PCI Express Bridge nVidia MCP79 PCI Express Bridge nVidia MCP79 Host Bridge nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 nVidia MCP79 PCI Express Bridge nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 hub: Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Broadcom BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub memory: Main Memory firewire controller: LSI FW643 [TrueFire] PCIe 1394b Controller unknown: FPU DMA controller PIC Keyboard controller PS/2 Controller nVidia MCP79 Memory Controller nVidia iMac 9,1 nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 nVidia Apple iMac 9,1 nVidia MCP79 Memory Controller nVidia MCP79 Memory Controller Apple Bluetooth Host Controller Apple Built-in iSight Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad (ISO) /dev/input/event4 Apple Built-in IR Receiver </pre> Kernel: 6.4.0-150600.21-default Distribution: openSUSE Output from dracut --force --add-drivers "nouveau" gradle dracut[I]: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --force --add-drivers nouveau dracut[I]: Module 'systemd-coredump' will not be installed, because command 'coredumpctl' could not be found! ... dracut-install: Failed to find module 'nouveau' dracut[E]: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/dracut.pciW1F/initramfs -N ^i2o_scsi$ --kerneldir /lib/modules/6.4.0-150600.21-default/ -m nouveau ... Workaround Booting from the previous kernel version 5.14.21-150500.298.g40e256at resolves the issue: Install and boot from kernel version 5.14.21-150500.298.g40e256at. Verify the Nouveau driver is present and functional. Conclusion Please investigate the absence of the Nouveau driver in kernel version 6.4.0-150600.21-default and provide a fix or update. This issue significantly affects users relying on the Nouveau driver for their GPU functionality.
