Hi The gdm issue (gdm doesn't come up at all) mentioned below has been handled in boo#1053115 and the culprit has been identified. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1053115 Workaround available: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1053115#c11 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1053115#c12 I'll send fixed packages to NVIDIA begin of next week. Usually it's not a good idea to do this friday. If issues arise due to the update, this may become an inconvenient weekend for users, NVIDIA and me. So I would like to avoid this. ;-) Another issue has been *re*discovered at the same time. TW users, who are/were using the manual NVIDIA installer can be affected by this. If you had NVIDIA driver installed manually when updating TW from Mesa to libglvnd+Mesa, you'll see an orphaned libGL.so.1.2* in /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib. This may have happened unnoticed. So please check this after running nvidia-installer --uninstall and remove these files, if available via rm -f /usr/lib*/libGL.so.1.2* before installing the NVIDIA RPMs. This is already documented in https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way Thanks, Stefan

Hi

Since yesterday there are NVIDIA gfx driver RPMs available for Tumbleweed. Feel free to give them a try by adding the repository manually via

zypper ar https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed nvidia-tumbleweed

and install them via

zypper inr

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.

Known issues/limitations:

https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed nvidia-tumbleweed is a non-browsable directory, so please don't tell me it doesn't exist after pasting it into your favorite web-browser. ;-)

Packages are only available for the latest long lived branch (currently 384.59). Reason is, that with TW we switched to libglvnd, which is not supported by the legacy driver series 340.xx and 304.xx.

If gdm doesn't come up, try using another DM. xdm worked fine for me. Something is weird with gdm, but I couldn't figure out yet, what. :-(
