[Bug 1212860] New: Please revert nvidia driver to 525 branch or at least add 525 in addition to 535.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212860 Bug ID: 1212860 Summary: Please revert nvidia driver to 525 branch or at least add 525 in addition to 535. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver Assignee: gfx-bugs@suse.de Reporter: angulion@gmail.com QA Contact: sndirsch@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Tumbleweed and Leap 15.4, 15.5 (at least) recently switched nvidia driver from 525 to 535 branch. This is unfortunate because at least with Xorg, 535 most likely will hang the entire system, especially with anything vulkan - it is not a good candidate for widespread use. Please consider reverting back to 525 or perhaps have both 525 and 535 available through nvidia's repo and let the users decide. As is the repo is at least for me not usable anymore and "the hard way" is the only option since 525 is solid but not available as rpm. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Why do you assume 535 would hang the entire system with vulkan? It's the first time I hear about such a regression.
Due to resources maintaining various driver versions is not an option for us. The old 525 driver won't receive security fixes either after some short time.
Because if the 535 driver is loaded, starting any game in Steam, that Steam first does "Processing Vulkan shaders" prior to starting, will hang at some percentage (for me 57%) and steam will freeze, as well as starting some game. At that point for example "ps" on command-line will also hang (as user or root), same for any other activity monitor. Only way to recover is booting the system. None of this happens with 525. When you say no security updates - latest 525 version was released after latest 535 version.. ? I did google the problem and discovered that I am definitely not alone with it, there seems to be lots having the same issue. 535 is as of yet a solid no go. Main pieces of my system: Intel i9 13900k, Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming - OC Edition (LHR) (3 displays connected), Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4, 128Gb ram -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just at the moment 535 is not a possibility for me/my system as it is a serious regression. If you made a report to nvidia, I am thankful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
