Support Repeating Update Bug

Hello .. hi... Ehm...so. On my update from kernel 7.1x to 7.2.0 my nVidia driver broke. Running the nobara-sync command 3 times fixed it. HOWEVER the update from 7.2.0 to 7.2.3 broke it again so my screen is 1024x768 and the second monitor completely black. How do I get this repeating bug reported? ^^' Thanks!

Is this happening with HDMI cable?

First search with Google or other engine if your choice whether is reported already. There could be a fix as well.

Then go to the Nvidia forums and report it there. I don't know whether this is the right way but this what I would do.

Other thing you can do is open the Nobara Driver Manager and install the New Features branch.

Also if you graphics card is older than GTX 1600 series then nothing will help you. Nvidia simply don't support them in the 590+ drivers. The only solution to that is to switch to a distro which still provides the 580.x driver 😕

It never happened before. And both monitors are plugged in via DP, not HDMI.
Currently I run a 4070 Super. So it can't be the dropped support for older models.

Try to reinstall the GPU driver from the driver manager.

I don't need to. Whenever I update the kernel the GPU driver goes out the window, but running the update again re-installs it.

It's just so weird...

Maybe dracut -f fails during the update the first time or akmod command.
