Nvidia gk-107 card, same for installation or upgrade, function keys do
nothing and after a while all dvd activity comes to a halt

I was thinking of trying MICRO also but fear that it will do the same
after another 3 hour download :-(

Sure enough, same nothing; and these are 'installation' DVD's?

If I were a developer, I think I would poll for rational keyboard or
mouse input, failing any of that I would presume that the user cannot
see anything on the monitor and change the game. Just saying.

not a problem by itself

That did help in that it provided an installation interface but the
installed systemn GUI is 480 resolution which for all intent and purpose
is unusable.

on another (usable) system using kernel 6.5:

# /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EA3 "VGA|Display|3D"

Hi
Yes, that is a result, but an indicator it's the nvidia driver

Is nvidia_drm.modeset=1 or simplefb=1 present in the grub options? Did
the G05 driver rebuild ok?

I would suggest booting to multi-user.target (runlevel 3) and force the
re-install of all the nvidia rpms...

The above was on an older TW installation and the nvidia
G05's are all installed, BUT booting kernel 6.7 still takes
me only as far as a log-in prompt and that's on my Slowroll
and both TW installations.

On the freshie TW (I've never seen nvidia drivers installed
by the installer at the time of imstallation)

# /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EA3 "VGA|Display|3D"
08:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA

(rev a1)
Subsystem: ZOTAC International (MCO) Ltd. Device [19da:1258]
*NB. no driver in use* <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Kernel modules: nouveau

On this fresshie TW there is no internet and I cannot install
anything that needs downloading. And what if I don't want any
nvidia driver, is there no nouveau driver? Why is no driver
'in use' in the above?

On pre-6.7 installs I always got a high resolution GUI both
for the installation and for initial use WITHOUT anything
from nvidia. So what has changed this with 6.7?

Hi
So are you using Xorg or Wayland?

Staying with the last TW freshie install, there's nothing 'Wayland' in
the log-in screen DM menu but a couple of the entries are appended with
(X11). With the probably anything but short-duration X11/Wayland debacle
continuing it might be an idea to placard all of them all the time,
which goes for grub menus too, always to include the exact disk &
partition # even for the default entry.

That said, I have yet to copy out the object of this doomsday message:
"/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt", especially if it refers to R&D/SOS.

Hi
So any without an X11/Xorg reference are Wayland... So I'm assuming
your running Plasma and SDDM?

During install I opted for Gnome, XFCE & Plasma. On the log-in DM
choices list are:

GNOME Classic on Xorg
Gnome Classic
Gnome on Xorg
Ice WM session
Plasma X11
Xfce Session

Of which 3 would then be X11 and 3 unknown because if there is X11 and
Wayland then every one is either one of those, as placarded, or unknown.

This log-in screen is I think SDDM but there is no mention of that
either. Even though I have been unable to do anything before (beside
booting and logging-in many times) the resolution is now up from 480 to
1024 which makes it possible to connect the usb wifi among other things.
No higher resolution is available in "Settings/Hardware/Dsiplays".
When I launched Yast-Software to prioritize Packman-Essentials 4
repo-definition files were automatically updated. I "could" also add the
nvidia repos and install their drivers and be done with it.

Before doing that though, if at all, I want to get 1920 resolution with
nouveau just as I had done with earlier kernels before 6.7. The purpose
of my last two postings was to become able to use kernel 6.7 before, as
this last TW snapshot confirmed, the earlier kernels vanish from the
list. This seems to be well on the way now. Not being able to log-in at
all with any 6.7 grub selection was most likely an os-prober fubar, and
the second issue revolving around poor resolution with noveau seems to
be improving by itself.

It wasn't, no driver seems to have been installed at all. I installed it
but System-Settings still does not offer more than 1024 resolution. Also
did a zypper dup but that didn't improve things. It's quite possible
that installing the nvidia driver will fix things but I'm going to keep
this install as is until I can get nouveau to do 1920. It is capable of
doing that isn't it?

I want to see nouveau do everything by itself first, THEN use nvidia
drivers if and when I feel I must use them, ultimately revert to nouveau
for the last dance. The ONLY time I EVER need nvidia is to run
GE-Flight-Sim. The nvidia server BTW is usually slower than a dead dog
or completely frozen, I've ben trying to install their drivers for tha
last two days (I'll never buy anyything with anything related to nvidia
in it again).

When I 'install' a system from the freshest .iso it should WORK.

There seem to be 2 misconceptions running about: that anything upped to
the TW server has merely 'been compiled' and so is high risk at best,
and the other that Linux is strictly comand-line stuff. The first dire
warning applies to packages and never to the TW systems being installed
from an iso as a whole AFAIK:

"Continuously Updated. You install it once and enjoy it forever. No
longer do you have to worry every six months about massive system
upgrades that risk bricking your system. Leading-Edge. You get frequent
updates that not only address vulnerabilities or squash bugs, but
reflect latest features and developments, such as fresh kernels, fresh
drivers and recent desktop environment versions. Stable. Updates are
thoroughly tested against industry-grade quality standards, taking
advantage of a build service other Linux distributions envy us. Not only
is each new version of a package individually tested, but different
clusters of versions are tested against each other, making sure your
system is internally consistent."

The second is that Linux users make Linux possible because they want 'to
be able to use a cLi' if and when they so feel inclined AS OPPOSED TO
having to use cLi all the time for everything.

Hi
Not had any issues with the Nvidia drivers here, on my Desktop I use
the run file, on my Tumbleweed test system (Nvidia is offload) it uses
the rpm... Both run GNOME DE... in fact for giggles a few weeks back on
the test system I had it running the internal intel gpu (Primary
graphics) and the following for offload, an ARC 380, a AMD RX550 and a
Quadro K620 all at the same time all worked fine.

I have an nvidia card with a Slowroll system and an older TW system,
plus a new TW system. ALL on KDE and on all of them booting the 6.7
kernel gives me a black screen with no keyboard, the first two have
nvidia drivers installed that work with kernel 6.5 but not 6.7. I
managed to extricate the new TW system (kernel 6.7 only) from this
predicament only days ago and only to 1024 resolution without using an
nvidia driver.

Maybe I should explore trying a noname el-cheapo and necessarily
non-nvidia video card.

Hi
Sounds more like a Desktop Issue than hardware...

At a tty login what does `inxi -Gxz` show?

I have no problems with AMD. I had Nvidia all my life, not going back to
them. With AMD I don't have to install any driver, it works out of the
box, even with 3D games (the penguin races or flightgear).

Graphics:
Device-1: AMD Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590]
vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: amdgpu v: kernel arch: GCN-4
code: Arctic Islands process: GF 14nm built: 2016-20 pcie: gen: 3
speed: 8 GT/s lanes: 16 ports: active: DVI-D-1 empty: DP-1, DP-2,
HDMI-A-1, HDMI-A-2 bus-ID: 27:00.0 chip-ID: 1002:67df class-ID: 0300
temp: 42.0 C

It is a cheap card.

There is some proprietary blurb I can install, but I haven't bothered.

With all the talk about nvidia having (finally) come to their senses I
don't want to end up with a new card and the day after the end of all
problems with nvidia anyway. What the hell, I'll sell the nvidia after...

If it is an expensive, good, nvidia card, I would try hard and long.

In my case, when I had to replace the computer, I changed video brand.
The old machine is still using nvidia with nouveau, but experiences locks.

AMD could be hell ages ago; I don't remember the details, but they
stopped supporting certain range of cards, and the Linux own support was
primitive. Then one day AMD decided to do something in the line of
opening up their drivers or specs or both (again, I don't remember the
details). The thing is, that now their cards work very well out of the
box. The situation should be similar to Intel graphics, but Intel
neglects to solve bugs. I have a light machine and two laptops with
Intel graphics, and all have one problem or another.
