I have pushed a fresh driver version to shannon, Which will force a clean update without any delta.

Correct, users who are having trouble will likely need to switch to the nvidia-390-glx-driver-current to restore the previous functionality. It seems to be common with the 1070 card in particular.

Thank you, can you please give a step-by-step guide how to switch back to nvidia-390-glx-driver-current?

sudo eopkg rm nvidia-glx-driver-common
sudo eopkg install nvidia-390-glx-driver-current

If you want the 32bit drivers

sudo eopkg install nvidia-390-glx-driver-32bit

Done. I'm not receiving any system message about available updates - is my system going to be updated automatically to the next 410 driver release, or I will must to intervene manually (how)?

GTX 1060 here, I have the same issue (resolved with 390).

This seems like it's happening due to a race condition issue as dicussed with @sunnyflunk on IRC.
It seems to happen randomly when rebooting. Sometimes it loads the NVIDIA driver, sometimes it loads llvmpipe.

No it won't, it will remain on the working 390 drivers which is a good thing. It's unknown how long the branch will impact on various cards

I certainly wasn't convinced of this, but posited it as a concept as it is random whether it boots or not. However, as it almost always fails to work, I'm less convinced.

It worked for me when i booted the pc last time. Is there any way to get more information to be certain about what's going on?
I tried to reboot several times and it seems to be completely random.

The Xorg.0.log showing a different load order of the modules (when it successfully boots) would be a start.

Here you go:

$ inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] driver: nvidia v: 410.73 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: nvidia

  OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 970/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 410.73 

New test. Have it boot and load with llvmpipe and go to TTY Ctrl+Alt+F2. Login and run one of these depending which one you have installed (note these will close your session).

sudo systemctl restart lightdm
sudo systemctl restart gdm
sudo systemctl restart sddm

I'm almost certain this will boot with nvidia after doing so.

Also want to know CPU and Hard drive.

And you would be correct, it happened exactly as you said.
I have a Intel Core i7 4770 and Solus is booting off a Samsung 950 Pro 512GB NVME SSD but I also have a second SATA SSD plugged in which is being mounted via gvfs at boot.

So this is triggered by hardware, but the common theme will be NVME SSD I imagine. It looks like it's booting (1.9s) the X server before its brought up the dri driver (which according to the logs will be somewhere just over 2s).

What's the output of dmesg

@Gaming4LifeDE I'd also be very interested in your Xorg.0.log and dmesg output when booting with the 390 drivers as a comparison if you're up for it!

@sunnyflunk

The 390 output will follow in 30mins - an hour

@sunnyflunk Here are your files for 390

So the main difference seems to be that the nvidia driver loads 0.25s later with the 410 drivers. I am assuming you are using lightdm? If so can you edit this file /usr/lib64/systemd/system/lightdm.service and change it to this:

[Unit]
Description=Display Manager
Documentation=man:lightdm(1)
Conflicts=getty@tty7.service
After=systemd-user-sessions.service getty@tty7.service plymouth-quit.service systemd-logind.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lightdm
Restart=always
IgnoreSIGPIPE=no
BusName=org.freedesktop.DisplayManager

[Install]
Alias=displaymanager.service
WantedBy=graphical.target

Then testing on the 410 drivers, will likely need a couple of boots to confirm any improvement.

@sunnyflunk that didn't work. See the logs here

Did this with lightdm and 410.73 loaded correctly. Using Solus Budgie.

@aalhitennf Keep in mind that NVME SSDs boot way faster, which might contribute to the problem.

Just saying this to make it clear that this is not exclusive to NVME

Please try adding:

Section	"Files"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/modules"
EndSection

To the start of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf

Yep, this worked for me. Thank you!

Works for me too.
Look like that's a good fix or are there any problems with it?

apparently it also needs to include the normal modulespath or it will mess with things, but this at least gets around the race condition. I'll submit a full fix to all of our drivers later on today.

Is there a fix now? Also, bump in case it was forgotten.

Should be fixed with aba0770f44ad

That's just for the beta driver though, not for the main driver. The fix would be the same but the patch is just applied to beta.

Those changes have been made to all the drivers

Is the problem fixed now? If yes, how can I return to 410 driver?

@crom5 the nvidia-glx-driver are using 410, you should be able to install this driver over doflicky (if you haven't done this already)

Thank you for your reply. This is the initial description of the problem: "since the update of nvidia-glx-driver to 410.X my system is using llvmpipe instead of the Nvidia driver" - could you please clarify if this problem is fixed now?
If the answer is positive, is this the correct procedure to return to 410 driver:

sudo eopkg rm nvidia-glx-driver-common
sudo eopkg install nvidia-410-glx-driver-current
sudo eopkg install nvidia-410-glx-driver-32bit
