Attention Nvidia GPU / Driver users! update to latest kernel and drivers could cause issue on plasma wayland [resolved]

only was asking… as the next nvidia-utils package should be the one having the 2 options enabled without the need to manually add them.
No need to experiment.

Doesn’t the OP have the latest nvidia packages?

[ricklinux@asus-tuff ~]$ sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
Y
[ricklinux@asus-tuff ~]$ 

should try nvidia-dkms and should at least open a new thread to get more help from me.

That’s what i am using.

Running on lts kernel.

yes i saw here on lts with nvidia-lts package i have issue that it only shows one display… also 3 connected…
Could be in notebooks per example it does simply only try to load external display and internal went black …

I’m calm.
I am speaking to you through a translator, I apologize if some words seemed rude to you.
I was just surprised that Arch had such a strange position.
Although they updated all this…

But if I couldn’t boot at all and didn’t know what to do about it, I’d be upset.

It’s good that I saved the update history.

6.10.9 I didn’t use it

But I don’t quite understand how I can downgrade these versions.
By name and version via pacman -U
Like: pacman -U nvidia 560.35.03-5
Doesn’t work.

Downgrading can be only a temporary workaround because downgraded packages will lead to more problems as time goes by. Also, if you must downgrade something, programs downgrade or eos-shifttime are your friends. Run eos-apps-info to see more info about them.

Can you show the output of command

cat /proc/cmdline

where we can see the added kernel parameters?

extra/nvidia-utils 560.35.03-5 (233.8 MiB 652.2 MiB) 
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

still not updated to the version with the patch.

so the boot options are still needed.

I just do the test, i need to add the fbdev otion to have fully working wayland session with plasma.
The easiest workaround for now is to add the option to your cmdline, thats no magic and should be a known task to do, for everyone using archbased distribiutions.

Just to inform all Nvidia GPU users, nvidia-inst version 24.10-1 adds both kernel parameter nvidia-drm.fbdev=1 and nvidia-drm.modeset=1,
assuming the proprietary driver was selected with nvidia-inst.

Edit: alternatively, a kernel parameter can be added more directly like this:

nvidia-installer-kernel-para nvidia-drm.fbdev=1

That was the problem, that fbdev didn’t change anything. It didn’t work with fbdev. :see_no_evil:

Update nvidia-lts 1:560.35.03-10 released
And hooray, Linux started on Kernel: 6.6.52-1-lts :partying_face: :star_struck:

Still, the problem was in nvidia, not in the kernel.

because of this i was suggesting you to open a different thread for your issue.

You do still post here… This is still confusing other users.

Can confirm, this update seemed to have resolved the issue. Just updated my system and everything is functioning properly again.

Yeah I updated yesterday and everything worked after rebooting thy seem to have resolved the issue.

i do not see any changes on the nvidia package or nvidia-dkms it is only rebuild against updated kernel.

And just to validate… you do use the fbdev boot option or not?

just wrote with Peter… and its already in with extra/nvidia-utils 560.35.03-5
