Upgrade Warnings / Re: Nvidia-Treiber Modulbau schlägt mit Kernel 6.8 fehl

« Last post by Mte90 on 2024/04/10, 10:31:39 »

It is possible to know the patch you did in the package?
Just to see if I can patch the nvidia-driver I am using from the nvidia repository as I am using it for cuda.

Software - Support / nouveau with nvidia

« Last post by sotnik on 2024/04/08, 21:16:00 »

Has anyone managed to install nvidia drivers with the following procedure:

$ mkdir /tmp/nouveau
$ cd /tmp/nouveau
$ wget https://raw.github.com/envytools/firmware/master/extract_firmware.py
$ wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/325.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run
$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run --extract-only
$ python extract_firmware.py
# mkdir /lib/firmware/nouveau
# cp -d nv* vuc-* /lib/firmware/nouveau/

See for example the following links

May be that this is @Sir_Aim's problem, too.

No, I don't have any PAM related errors. And sddm login works fine with nouveau.

May be that this is @Sir_Aim's problem, too.

I just checked that: 'find . ! -user aim' in my homedir does not show any result - so all file permissions should be ok.

The failed graphical logins don't appear in .xsession-errors. It only has entries for the successful starts from startx.
So i guess whatever goes wrong happens before the xsession is started.

After login the screen turns black for a few seconds and throws me back to the login screen...

If you have accidentally left a file owned by root in the user's /home/user directory, it can cause that problem. Also, take a look at the file /home/user/.xsession-errors and see if tells anything useful.

I have exactly the same problem (login loop after Nvidia driver installation) and start my PC the same way as you (startx...). There is no further information about errors to be found in Nvidia and Xorg log.

At some point I found this error with "journalctl -p err -b":

Code: [Select]

Apr 07 09:41:10 xxxx login[3533]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_lastlog.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Apr 07 09:41:10 xxxx login[3533]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_lastlog.so
Apr 07 09:41:25 xxxx login[5199]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_lastlog.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Apr 07 09:41:25 xxxx login[5199]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_lastlog.so

The reason why it can't find /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so is because there is no /secutity folder under /lib.
Since English is not my native language, I unfortunately didn't understand the solutions on Stackoverflow and co.

I have the same 5 nvidia-x modules and the file sizes match yours.

During boot, I noticed an error about nvidia-persistenced.service not starting. I'm looking into that.
