so you *can* be amused. Patrick, the man said that he couldn't compile the driver when he tried. I couldn't compile the driver when I tried -- and I always compile my own driver for the kernel version, and I always get the latest drivers

When compiling the driver it fails because a file, nvidia-drm-ko, is missing.
Carlos mentioned a few posts before this one that there was some discussion in factory about the inability to compile the driver for 42.3. aiui, he was referring to future
and 42.3 is not released and does not have up-to-date nvidia packages available. unreleased versions seldom do. if you followed all the conversation, the nvidia prop driver is usable with some tweaking. I don't recall the exact steps atm and am not going to bother to look for them but you are welcome to. discussion was in factory, not here.
42.3 was brought into the thread by Michael. He tried to update a 42.2 clone to 42.3 and had no drivers.
Have you been reading the thread (my response to the OP as the second msg in this thread)? The nvidia driver for 42.3 Beta is available here:
Notice that all those are home repos, it is not the official repo. It seems rather to be a solution for Bumblebee hardware (both nvidia and intel video on the same laptop). Why this is in "home" and not official I don't know. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
