Let's get this straight:
- After years of fighting and hassle, NVidia still ships the proprieary driver and AFAIK has no intention to cease doing that. - SB is becoming more and more ubiquitous, and SB + unsigned modules is a general problem, not only on openSUSE but on every Linux distro. - SUSE and the openSUSE community have done a great deal of work to make packaging and installing the drivers hassle-free for users. That's work that NVidia should have done but chose rather not to. - Now with secure boot and CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y, the problem gets a new dimension that the community can't easily solve. It's a catch-22. - Eventually it's NVidia's problem and only NVidia can solve it "for good", either by open-sourcing the driver or by packaging and shipping properly signed driver modules.
Yes. And while I do fully agree with this, there's still the problem that some openSUSE Leap 15 users (that upgrade from 15.1 to 15.2) are suddenly left with an unbootable system. I would think that this should be worth a reconsideration. Anyway, as I wrote, it's not *my* problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
