Hello,

Requirements:

I have [Searched] the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the [Resources category ]
I have reviewed the [Wiki] for relevant information
I have read the the [Release Notes and Errata]

OpenMandriva Lx version:

Operating System: OpenMandriva Lx 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4

Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon Graphics
Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
Product Name: MS-7E56
System Version: 2.0

Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):

KDE Plasma 6.3.4

Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):

Attempted to follow this guide: How to set up NVIDIA drivers with .run installer on OpenMandriva ROME

Followed steps 0 and 1

Got to step two, tried to open om-welcome via the desktop

White screen popped up, closed itself immediately

Updated and rebooted, same result

Opened through terminal:

om-welcome -s 870x520 index.sh.htm

Didn’t work, threw error:

GBM is not supported with the current configuration. Fallback to Vulkan rendering in Chromium.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Unable to proceed with guide, unable to install C Compilers

Re-installed OpenMandriva, same result on fresh boot

Tried to install x11-driver-video-nvidia-current

No match

Unable to proceed, looked it up

Duckduckgo says:
GBM can work with NVIDIA on Linux, but it has limitations and may not be fully supported due to NVIDIA’s proprietary driver model. Users often encounter issues when trying to use GBM with NVIDIA GPUs, especially in Wayland environments.

I need help with this, thank you in advance for any you can give

Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

The fix for om-welcome was just published. If you do a distro-sync, it should fix it. Then you can install the correct nvidia driver from the welcome app.

sudo dnf clean all ; dnf clean all ; sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing 2>&1| tee dsync2-log.txt

Thank you for your quick response, I ran the command you sent and rebooted but om-welcome is still not launching.

I tried the command line, the desktop, and Discover, but nothing worked.

After trying that, I attempted to deinstall and reinstall it through Discover, but that seems to have not worked.

The PackageKit daemon has crashed

I am still in need of your aid. Thank you.

(I would have sent some screenshots, but I am not allowed to embed media items in my response.)

You can upload screenshots now.

Please do not use Discover for this. It was designed to get you to the KDE Store. It was not designed to work with our system packages.

Let’s go back to the beginning.

If you really need to get the nvidia drivers running before getting om-welcome working, you will need to add the repos to do so. Go to Start > System > Software Repository Selector and add the Extra, Restricted and Non-Free.

Thanks - did all you suggested
ran the command and rebooted
openmandriva entered GRUB as normal
when trying to boot system did not appear on monitor
and
was non-responsive to keyboard input

tried connecting monitor cable to motherboard HDMI - no result

tried multiple live openmandriva disk images
none worked despite working perfectly on other devices
(AMD ryzen7 w/IGPU)

tried kubuntu live disk - worked perfectly

can edit UEFI settings and all BIOS functions

secure boot is OFF

unsure how to proceed

Any reason why not just
$ om-welcome
?

To install nvidia driver from console, enable the non-free repository then do:
sudo dnf clean all ; dnf clean all
sudo dnf install nvidia --refresh | tee install-nvidia.log.txt

A file named install-nvidia.log.txt will be created in your home directory. Attach this log file here if needed.

Thank you all, the problem outlined in my last message was able to be solved by re-making the boot disk with a more recent iso.

I reinstalled OpenMandriva, enabled the repository, and downloaded everything I needed.

Everything is working great now, the drivers are able to be seen by the system and are working.

Thank you for your time and have a great day.
