Liquorix usually updates major version when the current version is about to be deprecated or the next version is stable enough. I am pretty sure Liquorix 5.17 will be released soon, but not for now! I will update as soon as possible once it's released

Make a file in config.addon.tar.bz2 (config.addon/x86_64/liquorix) with the contents below:

# CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU3 is not set

CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y

You need to install DKMS, and use 'NVIDIA the hard way (on openSUSE wiki)' to install.

Sorry for late answer, I've just got an NVIDIA laptop (not my money though) to test on, so I am also surprised that this thing works on NVIDIA cards lol

Wait, I thought I followed the hard way but I didn't. I'll try again.

Congrats on the new laptop, by the way. :P

If you couldn't get it working, you can try using open kernel module through these steps (1600 or newer series card is required):

1. Install https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=X11%3ADrivers%3AVideo&package=kernel-firmware-nvidia-gsp , https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hwsnemo:kernels:kmp:lqx/nvidia-open-gfxG06

2. zypper addrepo -p 99 https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ nvidia

3. zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG06 nvidia-glG06 nvidia-computeG06

4. Add this to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf (or make a new file)

options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1

blacklist nouveau

Finally, Generate a new initramfs with dracut -f and reboot!

Thanks for your suggestions. I will have to look into this again some other time. It didn't work when I tried following the wiki as it kept on re-installing the nvidia packages from the repo even though I have uninstalled them. Not sure why.

I don't really want to maintain any other kernel packages since Liquorix fits my need best.

• Xanmod is great for throughput, but it no longer cares about responsiveness as much as before. I just want to maintain packages I actually use

• Zen kernel is almost the same with Liquorix. Both of them are maintained in a same repo and by same people

• CachyOS is mainly for Arch-based distros, and it will be pretty big maintainence burden since their customizable build process will make it hard to track what patches are needed to build a correct one, whereas Liquorix/Xanmod can be applied with a single patch

Thanks for your suggestion, and I also think having many choices for a kernel is a nice thing, but if I end up maintaining Xanmod, I won't be able to fix bugs fast enough since I will always prefer using Liquorix over Xanmod

I understand. Thank you.

Fixed it, it's a temporary solution though

Give me some basic information? Whether it works fine on the openSUSE default kernel, how you installed NVIDIA drivers, whether it worked fine before, what driver version, and so on.

However, do note that I don't support NVIDIA proprietary drivers, I use AMD mainly, and I have limited resources to maintain this. The only way I support is using https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hwsnemo:kernels:kmp:lqx/nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed

Thanks for the reply. I installed tumbleweed upgrading from Leap 15.5 with proprietary nvidia drivers installed via yast. With default kernel everything is ok. If from grub I choose liquorix kernel the system doesn't start either. I also installed nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-liquorix from https://build.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ahjolinna/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Using liquorix kernel is not critical, I wanted to test if there is better performance with games and for desktop use.

Try following the description from the link I posted in my prior comment, not one from another repository

Sorry for late answer. I have never built KMPs locally, so you may need to figure it out yourself. Anyway, from my speculation, you need to give more priority to liquorix kernel-devel (+ source, syms) than default kernel-devel in your build container.

I can't really tell if you are using OSC, plain rpmbuild or anything else, so not so sure what's the actual problem though..

Hzu (hzu) - about 1 year ago

Hey. Sorry for even later response. I'm using OSC. I was building it locally but this time I'm trying to build it remotely in OBS. The module builds fine but it's not building for liquorix. I'm trying to follow what you did on your kmp-lqx repository but couldn't figure out what exactly I need to tell OBS to build the module for liquorix. Do I have to set environment variables somewhere?

Not sure why I didn't get any notifications for your message.

All you need to do is to prioritize the kernel repository in your 'openSUSE_Tumbleweed' repository paths, but there may be some more things I may have forgotten. It's like more than a year ago that I set up the repo...

I added it, but I don't have any Slowroll installation right now, so support will only be a best-effort thing for now. Let me know if it works or not!

B (Xathros1) - 10 months ago

That's totally fine, thanks! it works!

If you use NVIDIA, try running these commands and reboot:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:kernels:kmp:lqx/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:hwsnemo:kernels:kmp:lqx.repo

zypper addrepo -p 99 https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ nvidia

zypper ref

zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-liquorix kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06

zypper in nvidia-video-G06 nvidia-gl-G06 nvidia-compute-G06

I will apply CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER in the next release, but those printk/dmesg changes look to be adding more debug options other than CONFIG_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT, which you can adjust with loglevel boot parameter if I am not mistaken..

Let me know if the next release doesn't fix your issue!

Sounds great, i'll waiting for test it since i always set sysctl's kernel.printk = 3 3 1 3

Cheers.

Thanomsub Noppaburana (donga) - 8 months ago

CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER with sysctl's kernel.printk works great !
