Nvida driver 390 Install

[GLWolf]

I have installed version 4.3 of Open MDV. Tries to install drivers for nVidia graphics card. It looks like:

[root@Blaszak wolf]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-firmware-extra-20220129-2.noarch
kernel-firmware-20220129-2.noarch
kernel-release-desktop-5.16.7-1.x86_64
kernel-release-desktop-5.16.13-1.x86_64

After the command

[root@Blaszak wolf]# dnf --refresh install nvidia-390

I have:

After all this, the system doesn’t boot anymore. It hangs at the boot stage. I waited for 20 minutes and nothing.

[ben79 (Ben Bullard)]

This should not be difficult to fix once we know what the cause of this problem is.

1. This is a guess: Are you booting to clang kernel? The default boot entry would not be for the clang kernel so you have to go to ‘Advanced Options for OpenMandriva Lx’ and select the kernel-release-deskop-clang-5.16.7-1 entry.

When you installed the nvidia-390 drivers dnf also installed as a dependency kernel-release-deskop-clang-5.16.7-1 only that kernel version will work with the nvidia-390 modules.

[ben79 (Ben Bullard)]

Welcome @GLWolf to OpenMandriva forum.

I am looking at some other aspects of this issue. It is difficult for me to work on nvidia software because I do not have the nvidia hardware.

[GLWolf]

It installs exactly according to this guide

nVidia proprietary driver packages for OM Lx 4.2 and Rolling

Today OM upgraded OM nVidia proprietary driver packages with the goal of getting packages that work with most recent kernel versions for Lx 4.2 and Rolling. However I do not have nvidia hardware so I can not test if the packages work, I can test that they will install. And usually if a package willl build and install it will work. So I know the packages will install but we need you to tell us if they work. The Lx 4.2 packages install and should work with kernel v. 5.11.12. The Rolling packages i…

I reinstalled the system. The kernel is installed by default:

kernel-release-desktop-5.16.7-1.x86_64

After the update, the default is:

kernel-release-desktop-5.16.13-1.x86_64

I chose all the options in the boot menu. None of them worked.

[ben79 (Ben Bullard)]

@GLWolf you did not do anything wrong. This is an oversight by OpenMandriva contributors (including me).

The clang kernel is installed because: nvidia packages wants to install on the kernel you are booted in to. There is not a nvidia package right now for kernel 5.16.13. You were likely booted in to kernel 5.16.13. So in that case dnf has to install a new kernel to add the nvidia modules to. It picked kernel-release-desktop-clang-5.16.7-1 because at the moment there is no nvidia-390 package for kernel-release-desktop-5.16.13-1. So neither you or dnf did anything wrong. This is just a matter of getting the new nvidia-390 packages build for kernel 5.16.13.

I just started builds for nvdia-390 for kernel 5.16.13 for Rock/4.3. I will let you know when this build finishes and describe what to do.

OpenMandriva contributors are all unpaid, part-time, volunteers.

[GLWolf]

Thank you for the information

I used MDV from 9.0 to 2011. Then Rosa from R1 to 11.1 and MDV again. The system works very well and it is fun to work with

[ben79 (Ben Bullard)]

OK the nvidia-390 package is built for kernel 5.16.13.

I think this should work for you to get your system back to “normal” and with nvidia-390 driver installed for kernel-release-desktop-5.16.13-1.

Boot from ‘Advanced Options for OpenMandriva Lx’ and select to boot in recovery mode from kernel-release-desktop-5.16.13-1.

At the login prompt type root and enter your root password. Then run these commands in order presented:

# dnf clean all

# dnf rm kernel-release-desktop-clang nvidia-390

# dnf in nvida-390

That should install nvidia-390 and nvidia-390-kernel-modules-desktop and it should not install any kernel version. In other words it installs the modules for the kernel you are booted in to. Then reboot normal way.

Post-edit: It is possible that the nvidia-390 driver is not working. I can not test for that as I so not have the hardware to do so.

[ben79 (Ben Bullard)]

Oh, forgot to add about the abbreviated commands.

dnf rm=dnf remove
dnf in=dnf install

also:

dnf up=dnf upgrade
dnf dsync=dnf distro-sync

Recommended software update procedure for OMLx is:

For Rock/OMLx 4.3:

$ sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf up

For Rolling:

$ sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf dsync

[GLWolf]

Hi
I reinstalled the system. After installation, I did an update. So it boots up properly. Should I install the NV drivers with the command you typed?

dnf clean all
dnf rm kernel-release-desktop-clang nvidia-390`
dnf in nvida-390`

or

dnf --refresh install nvidia-390

[GLWolf]

Thank you very much for help. It looks like everything is already working
