You can make this easier by using options provided by the installer blob, like --no-x-check ( no need for the old "init 3" ) --no-nouveau-check (installer will run and do the job even though nouveau is loaded) --dkms ( dkms needs to be installed, but then a rebuild of the driver code is triggered ) Thanks. I already tried such options in the past.
But unfortunately they do not seem to work: In KDE Plasma desktop (of course with loaded NVidia driver) in openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160321): myuser@mybox:~> sudo -i mybox:~ # uname -a Linux mybox 4.5.0-3.g8ec3d36-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 18 14:49:10 UTC 2016 (8ec3d36) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux mybox:~ # cd /usr/src mybox:/usr/src # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-364.12.run --no-x-check --no-nouveau-check --dkms ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia-drm' appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure to exit any programs that may be using the GPU(s) before attempting to upgrade your driver. If no GPU-based programs are running, you know that your kernel supports module unloading, and you still receive this message, then an error may have occured that has corrupted an NVIDIA kernel module's usage count, for which the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer. OK If I add --skip-module-unload the same error message appears.
