SOLVED: Kernel 5.16.3-1 -- boots but no GUI for Nvidia

[dibl]

I have upgraded only two systems here -- both have Nvidia graphics. Both systems boot to tty1 and there it ends. Among the boot messages flying by, I saw "Failed to start nvidia persistence daemon".

Here is one of the systems:

Back to kernel 5.15.16-1 and it's all good.

This is just to alert the users -- I will troubleshoot later.

Install 495.46-1 from experimental. Or 510.39.01 from our experimental.

[michaa7]

No problems here with

uname -r
5.16.3-1-siduction-amd64

and

nvidia-driver:
  Installiert:           470.94-1

This is older HW not supported by nvidia 495.46-1 (as far as I understand it).

[dibl]

Got it -- thank you.  Yes, the Nvidia driver from siduction/extra experimental is the solution for my hardware.

uname -a

nvidia-driver:

Thank you very much for the great work!

Hallo Dibl

I would like to install the Nvidia- driver from experimental but I don't know how to. I've tried to put the experimental source into my extra list but actually I don't know how. Can you give me a hand on this?

What I've tried so far:

deb https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/siduction/extra/dists/ experimental main contrib none-free

Thank you

@towo

Hallo towo
Kannst du mir bei der Installation des experimentellen Nvidia- Treibers 510.39.01-0~siduction.1 auf die Sprünge helfen. Siehe dem vorherigen Post habe ich versucht die source.list entsprechend anzupassen. Bei dem Thema stehe ich mal wieder auf dem Schlauch.
Herzlichen Dank

@towo

Mit "Augen zu und durch" geschafft:
Quellen deinem Hinweis entsprechend angepasst und dann

apt-get -t experimental install nvidia-driver

führte zum Erfolg:

uname -r

5.16.3-1-siduction-amd64

nvidia-driver 510.39.01

Herzlichen Dank

[towo]

Das Intel Problem kann ich hier nicht nach vollziehen, so alte Hardware habe ich aber auch nicht.

Auf der Kiste habe ich keinerlei Problem. Aber ohne relevante Logfiles kann ich auch nicht viel dazu sagen.

[edlin]

Auf meiner vergleichsweise noch jungen Hardware läuft der Kernel 5.16.3-2-siduction-amd64 x86_64 bis jetzt problemlos, während der 5.16.3-1er reproduzierbar eine schwarze Wand produziert.
Also auch für mich gelöst. Falls ich morgen Zeit habe, schaue ich mir mal die Logs an.

[edlin]

Hab mir mal die Logs angeschaut - es gab Leseprobleme von der SSD 
Habe den Kernel 5.16.3-1 deinstalliert und danach nochmal neu installiert.
Neu gebootet und ... läuft. War also blanker Zufall, dass sich das mit dem Nvidia-Problem zeitlich deckte.

Schönes WE, edlin

I still get a black screen with nvidia - I cannot install the latest nvidia driver from experimental due to unmet dependencies:

LANG=C apt install -t experimental nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-dkms

Try it again, i have uploaded the recent nvidia-modprobe.

Hi towo

what is the recent version of nvidia-modprobe

apt policy nvidia-modprobe
nvidia-modprobe:
  Installiert:           495.44-0~siduction.1
  Installationskandidat: 495.44-0~siduction.1

did not work for me on nvidia and 5.16.x
