OpenSUSE Install :: Installing NVidia Driver For Geforce GTX 275 Fails

Aug 20, 2009

I have just installed openSUSE 11.1 64 bit on my system. Subsequently registered to get an auto-update repo and auto-updated until no more updates were offered. Then I first tried YaST to install NVidia drivers from the NVidia repo (added their repo), but sax2 wouldn't recognize them. So I downloaded their 190. (beta) drivers, installed the kernel source code and gcc 4.3. Then I switched to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), closed the x server, ran the driver install as described (gcc 4.3 is installed). Installer said that all is fine (I checked the log to be sure). So I ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, but the driver still isn't recognized.

OpenSUSE Install :: [11.3] Boot Splash Disappeared After Installing Nvidia Driver?

Jul 21, 2010

I installed the nvidia driver from the official repository for openSUSE 11.3 and now everything works perfectly, except i get a verbose splash screen after the grub menu.It has worked after i upgraded from 11.2. In my menu.lst it already says splash=silent.If you want more information, please ask, because i don't know where to look or what to show you (i'm fairly new to linux in general).

OpenSUSE :: Lost Fonts After Installing NVIDIA Driver?

Sep 23, 2010

I have installed SUSE 11.3 and I am using KDE4. I also installed the font "misc-console".

After installing the NVIDIA driver 256.53 the font misc-console becomes useless because it is displayed so much slanted that it is imposible to read. However, if I disable the NVIDIA driver (by replacing "nvidia" with "nv" in xorg.conf), then it works fine. It also works fine in KDE3 and the NVIDIA driver. So, it seems to be a combination between NVIDIA and KDE4. A lot other fonts are also overly slanted and unreadable (like "Sony fixed", "misc fixed", etc.).

If I launch konsole from a terminal, I receive the following warning:

konsole(6928) Konsole::TerminalDisplay::setVTFont: Using an unsupported variable-width font in the terminal. This may produce display errors.

Is there a way that I can use "misc-console" without having to uninstall the NVIDIA driver? I'm just used to this font for my terminal.

The same happens whether I install the driver manually or through YAST, 32 or 64 bit. The video card is NVIDIA 8400GS, the system Athlon 64 4400+

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Install NVIDIA Propriety Driver?

Jul 3, 2010

* My Graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce 7900 GTX. I am running OpenSUSE 11.2. I have attempted to install the Propriety NVIDIA Drivers (without success). I have added the repository to YAST, then proceeded to install the NVIDIA software.

I then proceeded to reboot my computer into "init 3" mode. I ran the nvidia-xconfig tool as described in the
openSUSE Graphic Card Practical Theory Guide for Users site I then proceeded to type "startx" and it failed to load.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Install Nvidia Driver Using Dkms?

Jul 5, 2011

dkms is a facility which lets you to install drivers as module and it'll compatible with kernel upgrade.Driver will live as its source code in system,so after each kernel upgrade , driver module will recompile itself to work properly with new kernel.I read about dkms , but I have no experience to configure it by myself. I want to install nvidia driver using dkms,but I don't know how and where I can find source code of nvidia driver.

OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Use The YaNDP Yet Another Nvidia Driver

Feb 16, 2010

I installed openSuSE 11.2 three days ago, the first time, and have been trying to get the nvidia video driver to work ever since. So far, no luck. I have a dual-boot system with Windows 2k (legacy programs) and the graphics card works fine there, so the problem isn't hardware related. The nv driver also works under 11.2, but not well.The graphics card is a GeForce 6200, and the computer is an old Tyan Thunder S2885 with dual Opteron processors. I'm in 64 bit mode for the Linux install.

I've tried installing the video drivers by:Doing a fresh install, loading in the nvidia repository, then doing online update. The two nvidia drivers were loaded (nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop and x11-video-nvidiaG02), but when I tried to reboot I end up with a blank screen and no sync to the monitor (Hitachi SuperScan Elite 751 CRT type). Rebooting in safe mode brings up the nv driver, which works. Doing a fresh install, doing online update,then loading in the nvidia repository, refreshing it, and installing the same two RPMs . . . with the same result. Doing a fresh install and using the "one click" install from this web site. Same result.

Doing a fresh install, doing online update, selecting the pattern "Linux Kernel Development" and installing it, downloading the Nvidia installer NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run and installing it. Same result.

Same as above, but then using Sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, even though Sax is depreciated. Same result. I've tried modprobe nvidia. Nothing. Over the last two days I've probably tried several other iterations as well, and forgot them, but nothing worked, it's always the same result.

Another weirdness, when I have YaST do "Hardware Information" it has no trouble identifying the monitor a getting it's info, but when I click the Display icon on the panel it tells me that it can't identify the monitor.

Here's the basic system info:

Code:

Directory: /home/BillyDoc/Desktop
Tue Feb 16 09:21:23 CST 2010
BillyDoc@linux-k7w3:~/Desktop> lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 9647368 0
BillyDoc@linux-k7w3:~/Desktop> su

[code]....

I'm definitely a novice to this sort of thing, and at this point I haven't a clue what's going on. It looks like the nvidia driver get's installed alright, but X simply doesn't know it's there. Oh, and another thing. When I go into YaST to look for the "Graphics Card and Monitor" program . it's missing! I assume this is because Sax is depreciated, but what's the substitute?

OpenSUSE Install :: Messed Up NVidia Driver After Upgrade

Jul 26, 2010

I did an upgrade of Nvidia(Latest version v.196) and KDE-base4 to KDE 4.4.4(I think) in Yast2. Now when I reboot the X doesnt start. I claim it can't find any nvidia-module. I thing the upgrade of Nvidia v.196 failed, so I need to know how to reinstall Nvidia in console(CLI). It only boot up in cli. I thought it is so simple to just download the latest driver and install in CLI, but my NetworkManager doesnt start eighter so I don't have any network.

OpenSUSE 11.2 64bits
KDE 4.4.x
Nvidia NV140 Quadro 512MB

I guess my mistake was to upgrade both KDE and Nvidia in the same operation.

OpenSUSE Install :: NVIDIA Driver Slows X And KDE Start?

Apr 19, 2011

I have recently installed openSUSE 11.4 x86_64 on my laptop, with NVIDIA driver (260.19.44,Geforce 9300M GS).Performance is good, but it slows the boot process: The NVidia logo appears and stays on the screen for 10 seconds aproximately.KDE start is very slow also. I have tried to fix it by adding nomodeset to menu.lst and settting sysconfig variable NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to yes,with no success.

OpenSUSE Install :: No More Display After Nvidia Driver Update?

Aug 9, 2011

This morning, I authorized an update as almost every day. I saw that the nvidia driver was on the list but in recent years, I no longer fear these driver updates since everything usually works well...

Except that this time, no! I turn on my pc this afternoon and more 3d effects. I run "Nvidia X Server Settings" which tells me I do not use the nvidia driver and must run as root the command "nvidia-xconfig," what I do. I restart X and no display at all, only the prompt in text mode!

OpenSUSE Install :: Stable - Install Nvidia - Driver 260.xx.xx In Opensuse 11.3?

Jan 19, 2011

i know if u search a solution in forums u get so much confused information. i hope this little manual will help all with the nvidia driver problem! u dont need to edit or create a xorg.conf or something to run the driver correct and u need no blacklistedit too! if u did the standard opensuse 11.3 install its only about 2 kernel packages and the disabling of the x11noveau driver.

1. after standard installing opensuse 11.3 update and install the opensuse softwareupdates

2. install with the yast software re/installer:

(from Desktop or from the terminal. the terminal text command is: yast2)

[Code]...

u dont need to change the menu.lst after all, only u get many problems. run the midnight commander and delete the nomodeset word and the noveau driver would be normally still active after reboot.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Compiling Kernel-source For NVidia Driver Install

Jun 18, 2011

In order to configure a dual display in a fresh 11.4 installation, I am attempting to install the nVidia driver according to the instructions in SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE. I have not previously compiled or configured a kernel so I largely followed the instructions from OpenSUSE 11.2 - How to compile a Kernel for Newbies.The currently installed kernel is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop. The graphics card is an ASUS EN9600GSO (512MB).

In Yast, I installed gcc, make, kernel-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2) and kernel-desktop-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2). Per the "hard way" instructions, I did not install kernel-source.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 - Cannot Install Nvidia Driver ?

Aug 3, 2011

Nvidia h/w:Quadro FX 570

Installed 11.4 yesterday. No problems. Installed Gnome 3 today and it goes into fallback mode. Assuming that the graphics driver might be the culprit, I attempted to install the latest nvidia driver.

Added repo ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.4/ in Yast2.

Did a refresh and it complains that it cannot access installation media at the above. Paste the above in Firefox and it gets there OK.

One-click method also fails.

Never had a problem with updating nvidia driver before. Not sure what to check. I did delete and add with no success.

BTW, the other defined repos in Yast2 work fine.

OpenSUSE Install :: Installing 11.2 On Existing Nvidia RAID?

Apr 6, 2010

I'm having some (well, a lot actually) of problems trying to get OpenSUSE 11.2 installed on my home PC. I am attempting to set up a dual boot configuration with Windows 7 installed on an bios Nvidia RAID 0.I was able to shrink the partition in Windows, and rebooted onto the net install for OpenSUSE (the MD5 validated DVD install failed multiple burns with "Repository not found"). I get into the graphical installer portion with no problems off the net install CD. However, the installer is not recognizing that there is an existing RAID 0. It lists the 2 SATA disks in the RAID separately. I can click on SDA1, and both SDB and SDB1 and it shows the disks, but does not recognize any existing partitions. If I click on SDA I get an immediate segfault in YaST and drop back to the text mode installer menu. It is loading the nv_sata module just fine.

From forum searches and google it seems that this is not usually a problem. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 with the Nvidia Nforce 570 chipset running an AMD X2 64 3800+. Removing the stripeset and redoing it as Linux software RAID is not an option, I do not have enough space for a total backup/restore. Anything I do has to be nondestructive to the existing Windows installation.I really want to have a linux installation but between the DVD installer failing and now this issue I am about ready to give up on it.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Nvidia Driver Gives Gdm Failure On Fresh 11.4/Gnome Install (GT430 Card)?

May 8, 2011

I have spent ages looking at similar problems but not not quite the same. I have installed 11.4/Gnome (x86) and wanted to use my GT430 card. I went here: 'http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers' and used the 'one click' install for current cards. All went ok until I rebooted and I got a 'gdm[1239]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.846578 seconds' message. I got five of these in succession until the 'gdm[1239]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors' appeared and it popped me down to an init 3 login.

So, I deleted the blacklisting conf file so that I could get back in to Gnome on Nouveau (which I did ok). I then noticed there was no /etc/X11 Xorg.conf file so I ran /usr/lib/nvidia-xconfig to generate one (which it did) - but it made no difference. I am at a loss know after spending 8 hours on this. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. My machine is still at fresh install state so even if I have to reinstall 11.4 it does not matter.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Configure The Kernel Source Files In Order To Be Able To Install Nvidia Driver?

When trying to install the nvidia graphics driver I get the following error-message:

OpenSUSE Install :: Higher Framebuffer Resolutions Not Available During Bootup/console - Nvidia Properietary Driver?

Jun 26, 2011

I'm using the 270.41.19 nvidia properietary driver for my Geforce GTX460 graphics card. I have a Sony TV connected to my HDMI and I know it supports the 1920x1080 resolution. Yes it works after gnome or other DE loads up.

But during the GRUB screen and the bootup console - It defaulted to a 640x480 resolution (as it always does with the nvidia prop driver). I usually used to check the output of hwinfo --framebuffer and choose the resolution by appending the right vga=0xabc parameter.

But now I have a problem since hwinfo says the best widescreen 16:10 framebuffer resolution that my card supports is 1280x800. Here is the output from hwinfo --vbe which should give the info about both my gfx card and my TV.

The initial nouveau driver was able to output native 1920x1080 during the bootup on the console without issues, so I guess even the properietary driver should be able to output (If my understanding is right the nvidia module loads later during the bootup and only is required for the X but not for the console itself).

OpenSUSE Install :: Installing Driver At Time Of OS Installation

Aug 4, 2011

Is it possible to install a video driver at the time of the installation of the operating system? I have made multiple installation attempts using the various 11.4 x64 live & non-live versions. As soon as I get past the splash screen with the boot options, the display becomes corrupt & continuing is impossible. I have attempted using the various video options under the F6 menu (text mode, vesa, safe mode) without success.

I am reasonably certain it is a failure of the video driver. I have observed the identical behaviour while installing MS Windows with the incorrect video driver. The video chipset manufacturer does provide a linux driver on their website. It is a .run file. I have the .run file on a USB stick along with the OS files. This is a link to the hardware platform I am attempting to install to. Is it possible that my video chipset has insufficient video memory?
