About a month ago updates appeared in the Nvidia repository (Leap 15.3) for the G04 group of driver files, to go from 390.151-lp.153.21.1 to 390.154-lp.153.16.1.
But updating throws a dependency error for kernel-default-devel-5.3.18-57, which is old (probably about mid-March) and is not even in the update repository. I'm planning to do the 15.4 upgrade shortly, and want this cleared up beforehand.
Ideas? Who to ask?
Thanks, Andrei for helping out - on both the 15.3 and 15.4 issues. (I don't know why I didn't find it on bugzilla - must be /really/ getting old.)
Re the prev suggestion to just upgrade to 15.4, it is not quite that simple. Anyone with this problem and upgrading with dvd media (as is my practice) without also enabling the update repo's simultaneously, will find that the drivers will update but then fail to load at runtime. IME, complex kernel dependency issues like this one are best carefully researched before pulling the upgrade trigger.
you mean like an initial install, booting into text mode and installing appropriate video drivers and proceeding into graphical.target. seems quite convoluted and difficult. but ... might also be a normal action. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
