Is it possible to have the NVIDIA driver packaged for Factory? Now that it is a rolling version there seems to be a growing interest by users on it. But I read frequently that users won't install Factory because this driver isn't available (AFAIK). I myself am using Factory in a netbook with Intel graphics and I would like to use it in my desktop too but I don't want to be reinstalling the driver on every kernel update.
If packaging the driver isn't an option, is there an automatized way to have the driver working after kernel upgrades?
I found that after a kernel upgrade I got a working driver rpm again with this script:
#osc co X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG03 # only needed once cd X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG03 ls NVIDIA-Linux- .run || osc service dr osc build openSUSE_Factory
not quite as comfortable as a ready-to-use repo (which might violate copyrights of Nvidia or Linux) but better than nothing
Ciao Bernhard M.
I use this .repo file for Tumbleweed/Factory, works great for me to install - close all background programs like dropbox, shutter... - add .repo file to zypper (/etc/zypp/repo.d) - open root terminal - run "service packagekit stop" (could block installation) - now run "zypper refresh (with optional "--gpg-auto-import-keys") - than run "zypper -q dup (-q for suppressing LOST of text) - reboot system - optional you can install "nvdock" thanks -- _____________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for reading this message, I will send a reply As soon as possible...
