Unfortunately this has been a wrong assumption. It is what we do with Leap for quite some time [1], but not for TW, because we don't want to confuse our users with the appearance of MokManager after each kernel update when booting the machine.
As someone who use the nVidia drivers for my 3090ti, I don't know that "no in-update notification" of an extra step needed is the right solution.
Seems like we should say *something* when we know there's a potential to break peoples' systems.
I agree. The right people weren't informed. :-(
Using the open source nVidia driver doesn't include CUDA support (to my knowledge),
That would be news to me. It's just the kernel part. It shouldn't affect CUDA. But it's true that only Turing/Ampere (2018 and newer) is supported. by the open driver. I guess you have an older card.
so that's not really an option for me. I don't use Secure Boot, so that's how I get around the issue, but for those who need secure boot and the proprietary driver, breaking the system without a warning seems like a bad option.
I agree again.
With daily TW updates, how many people actually read blogs that describe the changes in detail?
Well, there wasn't any blog mentioning this. :-( CU, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
