Lwaving xscreensaver on overnight driver#

What I also recall doing when I was removing the G04 driver from the TTY session, was deleting the nf file from /etc/modprobe.d/, and reverting back by copying from the file, before I ran mkinitrd. So, maybe, the package manager didnвЂ™t do a clean rollback of the G06 driver. But, what I recall doing is selecting the G04 driver, which marked the G06 driver for uninstallation when I did that, in the same transaction.

Regarding StefanвЂ™s suggestion that I make sure all four drivers were installed, I am pretty sure thatвЂ™s what I did the first time around, because I used the YaST Software Management tool, and that would have installed all of the dependencies. I expected the same problem that I had with the G04 driver when I first installed it, but this time, it booted right into KDE, no problem!

I followed StefanвЂ™s advice and installed the G04 driver. Unfortunately neither nVidia themselves nor the driver community around nouveau are still looking into issues with such old graphics cards, so chances are low, that this issue can still be fixed. Then possibly I can see something obvious, which could be addressed. Please provide the output of 'inxi -aG' command and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log when having this driver installed. Please make sure that all G04 driver packages of the nVidia repository are installed, not only x11-video-nvidiaG04 package. Not sure what you've tested when installing G05/G06 drivers with nouveau drivers disabled. GeForce GT520 is only supported in legacy G04 driver. In my research trying to troubleshoot this problem, I have seen numerous reports online of people having similar problems with Nvidia cards, and not just with OpenSUSE.Д¬an anyone give me any advice? Is this something I could fix by myself? And so, I am going to be cross-posting this report to all three websites. I am not sure if this is a Leap bug, a KDE bug, or a driver bug.

I am running Leap 15.4, with KDE Plasma Version 5.90.0. But, I will want to lock this laptopвЂ™s security down a bit more tightly before I use it for anything important. In mitigation, what I have done is turn off the screen locking.

Sometimes, but not always, when I get a lock screen, I can get back from a sleep to the lock screen, but I canвЂ™t get the lock screen to show my profile or the password entry field. I have also installed the Nouveau experimental 3D driver. I used the above instructions to revert back to the default Nouveau driver. I could still get a TTY terminal, and if this happens to you, I suggest you follow the Zypper (command-line) uninstallation instructions here, very carefully: After a reboot, all I was getting was a blank screen, no mouse cursor, nothing. Then, I installed the x11-video-nvidiaG04 driver, and got different behaviour. Both the x11-video-nvidiaG05, and the x11-video-nvidiaG06 drivers both cause this behaviour. But, it freezes again immediately afterwards. If I am running something in the Konsole, switching between the TTY terminal and KDE, it refreshes the KDE screen. Input still seems to be working, because the mouse works, and if I type my password and press enter, switch to a TTY terminal, and then switch back, it logs in, but the screen is still frozen. Symptoms are, sometimes, but not always, after a lock screen, or a screen blank, or a sleep, KDE locks up/freezes.

The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5705G model, and it came with an Nvidia GeForce GT520M graphics card CUDA-capable, and the BIOS is reporting 128Mb of RAM onboard. I also installed the manufacturerвЂ™s driver from the Nvidia repo x11-video-nvidiaG05 was the one I tried first, because I was investigating the possibility of adding CUDA support.

Then, because of certain software requirements I had, I decided to upgrade to Leap 15.4 Beta. That installed the Nouveau driver by default, and I wasnвЂ™t having any problems at all.

The first thing I did was to install OpenSUSE Leap 15.3 on it. Problems with OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 Beta and KDE on Lock Screen/Blank/Sleep on Older Nvidia Card вЂ“ Driver Issue?ДЄ friend recently gave me an old laptop.
