15.5 and TW Nvidia G04 (and x11-video-nvidiaG04) patched, built and available -- 15.6 still need triage
by David C. Rankin 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Nvidia G04 users, I've branched, patched for the 6.12 kernel, built and published the Nvidia G04 driver for TW as a stop-gap until the openSUSE drivers catch up. The repository with the G04 driver for Leap 15.5 and Tumbleweed is: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty:/branches:/hom… The 15.6 driver needs an additional patch that Stefan had in the X11:Drivers repo - but a branch of that package fails for 15.6 as well. Still need to look into it. The … [View More]

6.12 is out for TW, but not nvidia G04 or G05 packages yet? Plans or do we build our own again?
by David C. Rankin 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

Devs, Does anybody know when we can expect the nvidia G04 or G05 driver builds for Tumbleweed now that the 6.12 kernel is released for TW? It took months for drivers to appear in https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed after the 6.11 kernel was released for TW. I was hoping that was a one-off. We had posted and revised the patch for the G04 (390xx) driver here on 11/24 (see: "Linux 6.12 kernel Nvidia G04 - patch") and I can throw that in build-service to build drivers for … [View More]

SSD monitoring utility
by joe a 04 Jan '25

Opinions on use of Hard Disk Sentinel? I've had it recommended as a means of being warned about impending SSD (and other storage media) failure, which I understand could, fail (ab?)normally quite sudden and catastrophic manner. Never used SSD before, but plan to put a couple in a Win . . . uhh . . . mass market GUI oriented "OS". They do have a Linux version also which I will test on my own. So there. Why ask here? Well, you all know everything, … [View More]

Help repairing boot capability of HP-g6-2321dx Laptop PC):
by -pj 31 Dec '24

31 Dec '24

Hi, and good day to you🥶. I have a 64bit HP Laptop and I was attempting to install then enforce SELinux and it simply just kept locking me out (I created a custom snapshot) to fall back on and retry more easily. The final *blow* to the boot process is that I made an inappropriate adjustment of some kind with YaST Bootloader tool. It rendered the Laptop *non-bootable*. I have managed to create a functional (for the Laptop) openSUSE live installer with Rescue system with dos disklabel type (… [View More]

Open SuSE on Raspberry Pi5
by Damon Register 29 Dec '24

29 Dec '24

I was going to check my SuSE list e-mail for info on the subject and discovered that I had been unsubscribed due to bouncing :-( I want to install open SuSE on my Raspberry Pi5 but after a little Google searching, I found some confusing info. Some posts said that Open SuSE doesn't yet support the Pi5. Is that still true? If Open SuSE is available for the Pi5, does anyone in this list have experience with SuSE on the Pi5? Damon Register

Machine lockups when suspend is envoked:
by -pj 29 Dec '24

29 Dec '24

Hi, openSUSE Tumbleweed here with KDE. I recently replaced the Nvidia Quadro K600 video card with an AMD RX550 video card in the machine. Issue is that when suspend is envoked there are lockups possibly 15 to 20 percent of the time. Then REISUB is used to complete the powercycle. For a couple weeks I had just left the Nvidia packages and Nvidia kernel boot parameters as they were after installing the rx550 and experienced a lockup during suspend 30 percent of the time. Now I purged the Nvidia … [View More]
