I haven't been informed about such a buggy package. WHat has been the issue in detail? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

While nvidia packages for tumbleweed would be nice, I'd be happy to compile my own. Where is nvidia-gfxG02-270.41.06-4.1.nosrc.rpm please? Not on nvidia's ftp server. Installing from the .run file is a PITA. Well running it is trivial, afterwards it's a waste of time working out where and how the driver installation has copiously messed up the system when all I want is a new nvidia.ko to copy into place.

For other punters in a similar position, it is possible to build an nvidia.ko for the running kernel by starting up the NVIDIA-xxxxxxx.run file with --no-x-check --no-distro-scripts -z -N -e --no-rpms and continuing until it tests the new module, copying the created .ko file to a safe place and then breaking the program when it wants to back up system files and install new ones. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
