Hi
Since today there are updated NVIDIA gfx driver RPMs available for Tumbleweed. Feel free to give them a/another try by adding the repository manually via
zypper ar https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed
nvidia-tumbleweed
(if not created yet) and install them via
zypper inr
(or "zypper up", if already installed)
The kernel module is being built during installation (as it's done with the Leap packages). But the kernel module is also being rebuilt and reinstalled after a kernel update has been done, since we don't necessarily keep the kABI stable for TW. This has been implemented by making use of RPM's trigger scripts.
Issues fixed in this update:
- gdm could not be started
Known issues/limitations: There was a package update to 384.69. Don't install it if you're using KDE. It causes segfaults in kscreenlocker_greet (the process that spawns and asks for your password when your session is locked).

Unfortunately, once installed there's no way to go back. Perhaps something that could be improved (if nvidia agree), is to have at least two version of the driver. So in such case, impacted users can downgrade easily.
btw: screen locker crash here too.
For the time being. You could always remove the rpms and use the .run drivers downloaded from the Nvidia site. ;-) -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
