I no longer can remember why I put this process in the background. It's so long ago I added this to xinit startup process, that I no longer can find the changelog for it. :-(
Could you try without putting the nvdia-settings process in the background, i.e. remove the '&' a the end:
#
# Load nvidia settings
#
if test -r $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc && type -p nvidia-settings > /dev/null ; then
nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
Also, possibly there is some error message with your config file. So try this on a working nvidia desktop. nvidia-settings --load-config-only nvidia-settings --load-config-only & Any error message? Or just works? > Could you try without putting the nvdia-settings process in the background, i.e. remove the '&' a the end: > > # > # Load nvidia settings > # > if test -r $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc && type -p nvidia-settings > /dev/null ; then > nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1 > fi login works and no zombie nvidia-settings > Also, possibly there is some error message with your config file.

I run these commands in terminal emulator (konsole), bash (PS1='$ '): $ nvidia-settings --load-config-only (nvidia-settings:28863): dbind-WARNING **: 07:41:50.095: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files $ echo "$?" 0 $ nvidia-settings --load-config-only & [1] 28874 $ (nvidia-settings:28874): dbind-WARNING **: 07:42:01.914: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files ignore warning, all gtk3 programs do that Thanks! Fixed now. And submitted to factory/Tumbleweed. I will also update xinit for sle15-sp7/Leap 15.7. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jul 4 12:02:51 UTC 2024 - Stefan Dirsch <sndirsch@suse.com> - xinitrc.common: no longer start nvidia-settings in background in order to avoid a zombie process under certain circumstances (boo#1227313) Closing ...

this is very similar to #1218458 but not FIXED for me here is copy+paste from htop (user threads hidden by pressing H): S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command S 0.0 0.0 0:00.31 ├─ /usr/sbin/lightdm S 0.7 0.3 0:23.78 │ ├─ /usr/bin/Xorg.bin :0 -seat seat0 -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch S 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 │ └─ lightdm --session-child 13 20 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.05 │ └─ /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 Z 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 │ ├─ nvidia-settings S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 │ ├─ /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --keep-display /usr/libexec/xinit/xinitrc S 0.0 0.0 0:00.05 │ └─ /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --keep-display /usr/libexec/xinit/xinitrc notice nvidia-settings line contains "Z", that means process is zombie (exited but not waited) nvidia-settings is started by bash script "/usr/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common": # # Load nvidia settings # if test -r $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc && type -p nvidia-settings > /dev/null ; then nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1 & fi theory what happened: 1. bash started nvidia-settings 2. bash replaced itself with startplasma-x11 3. nvidia-settings exited 4. startplasma-x11 didn't wait nvidia-settings
