Description Filippo Bonazzi 2023-01-25 09:24:28 UTC

I updated my system yesterday (TW with an openSUSEway-based Sway configuration) and this morning sway fails to start with the error message found in [0] at line 66:

"Proprietary Nvidia drivers are NOT supported. Use Nouveau. To launch sway anyway, launch with --unsupported-gpu and DO NOT report issues."

I am using the Nouveau driver, not the proprietary nVIDIA one. I see that kernel 6.1.7-1.1 that I installed yesterday evening updates kernel-firmware-nvidia, could that be messing with the (coarse-grained and annoying) Sway nVIDIA check in [0]:52?

Opened upstream issue https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/7402

Comment 2 Tobias Klausmann 2023-01-27 18:32:38 UTC

Just FYI, the "open nvidia driver", read not nouveau. This was installed with one of the latest Tumbleweed updates, see if "nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default" is installed on your system (or check dmesg).

Comment 3 Filippo Bonazzi 2023-01-30 08:20:25 UTC

Yes that package got installed with one of the updates last week. I was running Nouveau before, so I'm not sure why that happened. How do I go back to just Nouveau?

Found boo#1207520 where they discuss what happened

For now just uninstall the package "nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default" and lock it in its not-installed state after that.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2023-01-30 09:27:09 UTC

Well, that's just a duplicate. Workaround for now:

Uninstall nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default
Reboot
