[opensuse-factory] Refusing to install Mesa-dri-nouveau aborts install process
When issuing the usual "zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change", since a few snapshots I get the following warning from the installation of Mesa-dri-nouveau: ========================================================== WARNING: Nouveau DRI/3D driver selected. This driver is considered experimental and is known to have issues with applications that use certain 3D acceleration features of modern NVIDIA hardware. Symptoms include application crashes or lockups & crashes of your system's graphical environment. Older Hardware and less demanding applications may work just fine and do benefit from the Hardware acceleration features this driver offers over software emulation. Use of this driver is especially not recommended for use with the KDE Desktop Environment or Qt-based Applications. The hardware vendor potentially offers alternative drivers. Please click "I Agree" if you accept the risks that may come with the installation of this driver. Choose "I Disagree" to prevent installation of the driver and use software emulation instead ======================================================= Since I have the nvidia-rpm's from opensuse installed, it seems not wise to Agree. But if I choose the (default) Disagree, the installation process gets terminated.

Add a zypper lock to the package zypper al Mesa-dri-nouveau Addition: the -no-allow-vendor-change is already the default on TW now, so a mere 'zypper dup' is enough. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

Add a zypper lock to the package
zypper al Mesa-dri-nouveau
Addition: the -no-allow-vendor-change is already the default on TW now, so a mere 'zypper dup' is enough. I tried a lock, but that gives me some 70 problems to solve, according to zypper. And probably more, in theprocess of treating them... Thanks for the zypper advice, didn't realize that.
