IIRC nvidia390 does not support 610 series cards, so you have to use nvidia340

Whats the output of lspcidrake -v for that card

CC: (none) => tmb

I'm sorry, its a 630. But, it used a 390 driver before.

> I rolled back to nvidia340, and it works now
You seem to be satisfied. Can we close this?
I admit to being baffled by which nvidia driver to use for those cards not listed in the dkms-nvidia* package description.

Source RPM: nvidia390 => (none)
CC: (none) => lewyssmith

This bug is similar in spirit (but not detail) to bug 24967 & bug 25878. This one is about chosen nvidia 390 not working, and needing nvidia 340 to work; the other two are about chosen nvidia 430 not working, needing nvidia 390 to work.

Can the three be wrapped up together?

Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021.
There will not have any further bugfix for this release.

You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible.

@reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it.

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.

This bug has changed forms, but is still valid.

Mageia 8 installs the Nvidia Drivers in the wrong path. You must manually copy the resulted compiled modules from DKMS to the correct location

From where to where have the drivers to be copied?

CC: (none) => mburgener

No copying needed.

As pointed out in another bugreport...

Zombie has a broken install

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

hmm ok, i seem to have a very similar issue then, on every boot my nvidia setup driver in drakconf is being replaced by nouveau

@Mike,

Oh. Your system is still using Mageia 7 with old kernel. Consider migrating to 8.
It has well suited NVIDIA nonfree driver for your graphic card.

ah sorry this is a kernel i tested booting in to because of this issue, let me reboot :D

hey, you pointed me to an issue, i have no mga8 kernels installed but i upgraded to 8 long time ago, let me fix this first and report if the rest was part of the issue

           OpenGL: renderer: NV134 v: 4.3 Mesa 21.1.3 direct render: Yes 

still the same issue with above kernel mga8

I'm confused with this reports.

Mike, what is the output of lspcidrake -v |grep VGA?

Furthermore you seem using nouveau instead of proprietary nvidia, while this bug was for nvidia390. Did you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf or you are in an xorg.conf less configuration? Furthermore from inxi output you seems having an nvidia GTX 1070 card, which is supported by nvidia390, but ALSO by nvidia-current which is at a newer series. You might try nvidia-current.

Well i said i seem to have a similar issue, no matter how many times i install nvidia driver always on boot it is reverted somehow to nouveau, for that reason you see nouveau again. about the Xorg/Xorg less config, how to check? I upgraded to mga8 some time ago would it be better to open a new bug? the author of this one pointed me to this one in irc

what about recreating the whole X Config? what would be the best way to do? just purge /etx/X11 ?

regards

Mike

is there a "nokmsboot" in kernel command line  ?

yes there is

Ok, i reinstalled keeping my /home
thx a lot for the help!
