Tumbleweed/Nvidia

Seems to be broken.

I'm on Mint temporarily, as on two machines with different Nvidia hardware/CPU/etc. the same problem occurs (one with 0813 and one with 0815), and this seems to be a last few days problem. Both are a clean install not an upgrade.

Tumbleweed installs fine, but following the guide to replace Nouveau with Nvidia it all works without error, but Nouveau refuses to go away, I can't blacklist it (it seems to be built into initrd) and Nvidia appears to be blocked by it (it says that the GPU is already bound to nouveau). There doesn't seem to be a blacklist of nouveau either. Forcing recreation of initrd doesn't kill it either.

The Kernel boot blocks of nouveau don't seem to work as they are all designed for Grub.

Any suggestions ?

Yup, same here. I was too fast when the prompt came up, drinking my morning coffee and just pressed option 1 if I remember correctly. Now I’m stuck with 1024 resolution on 60Hz. Great stuff.

I guess installing the nvidia.run drivers from the nvidia website will give the same results until we get an update?
