Hi all, Today I got an update notification for my GPU. It had to remove nvidia66…I went for it. Now, I cannot get into graphics. What I tried: re install the driver: failed because it was in there already force re install, : failed, it could bread dependency with nvidia-utils required by CUDA i…

[image] ButterflyMelissa: And therein lies the power of Linux, it forces you to master a Zen-like state :wink: Yeah. Linux will warn you of the danger of a gun. Will recommend you not point it at your head, will confirm you want to do this, and if you continue to insist it’ll let you shoot yo…

hmm, removing failed, breaks dependency with nvidia-utils that is needed by CUDA… As for the kernels (I’m on a laptop, I have to copytype…sorry) the kernellist gives linux419, linux510, linux515, linux54, linux61, linux66, linux67, linux68, linux61-rt, linux66-rt linux67-rt I have 66 and 419 inst…

OK, and force doesn’t work either? Try removing the CUDA package temporarily (you can always reinstall it later.) Since you can login, what happens if you try to start X manually? startx I understand that you can’t provide more details, but sadly without more details, I can’t give more precise c…

[image] ButterflyMelissa: [ 1041.193] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. There’s the start of your problem, the driver couldn’t be initialised for some unknown reason. What does: journalctl --priority=warning..err --no-pager --grep='nvidia' …spit out, if you still …

Cuda has left the house, installing the driver gives a dependency, the system wants 550.54.14, so I reinstalled it (hoping it to be that version) and the kernels were rebuilt…so…I have to get these utils to the right level. O, listinstalled does state the video-linux installed, the nvidia not(yet) …

[image] ButterflyMelissa: Downgrade shows it available… Honestly? :man_shrugging: You can try, but you’ll be on your own. I suspect you might already be in a partially updated state, seeing as there wasn’t an announcement for any, let alone Nvidia driver update yesterday, or this morning. …

[image] Mirdarthos: Do a complete sync perhaps? complete sync happening and the kernels are being rebuilt… :smile: I can log into the video-linux (possibly 800x600) and in the settings I find several available drivers… the 470xx and 390xx are in there too…

[image] ButterflyMelissa: the 470xx and 390xx are in there too… Nah, you don’t have to worry 'bout those.

Did the kernel just get an update? I did the update an poof, system back in “sweet mode”!!! :smile: You guys are fenomilan! Thanks so much!! :hugs: Melissa
