On reboot the X server failed to start - blank screen on tty1

I was able to login to tty2 and captured some data which I'll attach. I'm not sure how useful or relevant it is. I have reverted to the previous versions of the packages and will try again if more info is needed.

The 352.79 packages are on the mirrors and so I installed:
- dkms-nvidia-current-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586
- ldetect-lst-0.1.346.3-1.mga5.i586
- nvidia-current-doc-html-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586
- nvidia-current-kernel-4.1.15-server-2.mga5-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586
- nvidia-current-kernel-server-latest-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586
- x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586

but the X server still fails to start.

In single GPU mode glmark2 returned 8110.
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=on
glmark2 returned a lower score of 6330 which is expected apparently.

Everything looks fine here as well.
Comment 11 William Kenney 2016-02-07 00:40:34 CET 
Updating a system running VirtualBox broke the
system to where it wouldn't boot any more.
I need to put more time into this. Sorry.

This was in response to Comments 2-5, and seems to have resulted in the packages changing from 352.63 to 352.79 . Should the package list in Comment 0 not be re-specified accordingly? (And the bug title?)
And do Comments 7-8 (and 11) warrant further correction?
This seems to be the only one of nVidia Bugs 17602-17604 giving real trouble.

Comment 13 William Kenney 2016-02-10 12:09:00 CET 
Update. I do continue to test this. I built a new system from the ground up. Nvidia was fine. No Vbox install. I then installed the testing-updates nvidia driver and that went just fine. I then did the Vbox install on the updated system and that also worked fine. So IMO if you have a system with Vbox install and you install the nvidia update, and you brick your system, then a whole new install with the new nvidia driver then the last thing you do is install Vbox that will work. More testing on my part. :-(

I have also tested the 32 bit desktop flavour on this system. I installed:

- dkms-nvidia-current-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586
- ldetect-lst-0.1.346.3-1.mga5.i586

- x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-352.79-1.mga5.nonfree.i586

but, again the X server failed to start. journalctl reports the same error:

Note!

since there are builds for both 4.1.15-2 and 4.4.9-1 you need to specific to install the *-latest packages in this update:

nvidia-current-kernel-desktop586-latest-352.79-7.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm
nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest-352.79-7.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm

nvidia-current-kernel-server-latest-352.79-7.mga5.nonfree.x86_64.rpm


Note the "-7.mga5".

for 4.4.9-1 it's "-8.mga5"

For testers, installing ldetect-lst, x11-driver-video-nvidia-current, nvidia-current-kernel-<flavour>-latest should pull in dkms-nvidia-current, kernel-desktop-devel-<flavour>-latest and dkms + gcc buildchain + deps and install and work properly... 


Advisory:
Updated nvidia-current driver fixes GPL violation

It's been found that shipping prebuilt proprietary kernel modules is 
in violation of the GPL license.

Since Mageia.org is pro open source we adjust the way we provide
support for proprietary drivers.

In order to comply with GPL, this update switches to dkms source based
setup that builds the needed modules at kernel / driver install time.

This update also provide the nvidia-current 352.79 driver that
adds support for additional hardware and kernel 4.4 series

Comment 45 James Kerr 2016-06-02 22:49:53 CEST 
I installed this update before updating the kernel. So would not the kernel module have been rebuilt when I booted into the new kernel?

see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18031#c140

also https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18031#c144

Charles Edwards did successfully install the nvidia and kernel updates in one transaction:  https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18031#c139
Comment 46 James Kerr 2016-06-02 23:12:48 CEST 
Sorry, I misread. Charles did what wilcal and I did - he installed the nvidia update before updating the kernel.
Comment 47 claire robinson 2016-06-02 23:31:33 CEST 
It's fine. It needs to work with both kernels. When you install the new kernel it should build the dkms module for that kernel. Some may build on reboot too.
Comment 48 claire robinson 2016-06-02 23:32:57 CEST 
Check with..

# dkms status -m nvidia-current

It will show "installed" for dkms builds and "installed from binary" for the older prebuild kmods.
