*** I have a bug for about 1 year now! I cannot install Nvidia driver for my Nvidia Gigabyte GeForce GT 730, the right driver that supposed to work is proprietary 470 but since Plasma 6 upgrade when I install the driver it boots and loads a black screen that never change and I have to load safe/rescue/recovery and open bash and uninstall anything *nvidia* and use nouveau with X11, and the only problem why I can't keep using nouveau is it doesn't show gray lines or whatever gray it shows it white instead! Can't find a solution! Am I must buy a new VGA Card? *** SUMMARY Black screen after installing Nvidia proprietary driver 470 the recommended one. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install software-properties-qt. 2. Go to Additional Drivers tab and choose proprietary driver 470 and apply. 3. Restart OS as requested to boot to black screen that never change. OBSERVED RESULT Failure loading KDE Login screen showing a black screen instead. EXPECTED RESULT If the driver install was working it would open the login screen so I can choose Wayland or X11 and login! SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.2.3 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Kernel Version: 6.8.0-49-generic (64-bit)
Created attachment 176546 [details] My Desktop & OS Info Now after KDE Neon update just today 11 December 2024 X11 works with Nvidia Proprietary 470 driver, but Wayland is not reading the driving as it should be, and displays resolution of 1024 x 680 something like that and I can't change it to 1080p HDMI it says this is the only resolution available! If the driver updates was for my bug listing about KDE Neon with my Nvidia GeForce GT 730 bug, I'm so grateful that I could even just work on X11 with driver 470 installed huge difference in KDE speed between Nvidia Driver 470 and the nouveau driver was too slow and was keeping crashing suddenly without doing anything! Thanks for whoever helped in this issue and I hope to to complete your favor hope the next KDE Neon OS Updates Wayland also works. All the love to this beautiful community. Khaled Shahin
