After an Update the nvidia Driver cant be loaded anymore. If i understand correctly it should.

$ lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104M [GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1

The error message is:

Any hints what the problem could be?

Please try uninstalling bbswitch.

Uninstalling bbswitch helped. Is it not required or faulty? I uninstalled bumblebee too. Was that necessary?

Now the kernel modules load but on boot i get a blank screen with mouse pointer instead of SDDM. Waiting a bit and pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE allows the SDDM to start successful. From the logfile it looks like on the first start sddm (runs under X11) doesnt recognize nvidia and goes the modesetting route (Nouveau is blacklisted) . On the second attempt nvidia is recognized and everything starts smoothly.

Recently i had more problems under linux than ever before.

This also seemed to have fixed a problem i had that my laptop did freeze on boot when it was plugged in.It only successfully booted when unplugged. But could be unrelated. For now it boots successful either way.

Thanks for the help.

bbswitch and bumblebee are ancient and should not be used any more.

Regarding SDDM:
Maybe try with lightdm.

So what is the replacement? I have a optimus? laptop with intel (which controls the external monitor output) … if i switch to nvidia i lose the ability to add a monitor to the laptop. If i use a external monitor i lose … nvidia.

I read something about prime-run but that is not installed on my machine and i cant find it in any package.

OpenSuSE has suse-prime which pulls in bbswitch-kmp-default and all of that supports offloading but no script to offload. The only ones supporting it are optirun and primus but both pull in bumblebee and bbswitch.

Got it all fixed. I uninstalled everything now. bumblebee, primus, optirun, suse-prime and bbswitch. After that the default graphics card was intel. No idea if by luck or if thats the default.

I found on the web a script that i can use to start any program so it uses the nvidia card.

#!/bin/bash
export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
export __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only
export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json
exec “$@”

That works for me.

Thanks for the help. I wanted to document my solution for the next person. On my journey i found out that i still need those too for some reason:

/etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= … nosimplefb=1

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau.modeset=0

Thanks for the help

I really don’t know kind of programs/scripts OpenSuse uses to handle optimus laptops.

Many distros supply solutions of their own. But they all do pretty much the same.
