Hello, In the Message; Subject : Nvidia Oddity Message-ID : <87cc6fd3-41c7-2eac-818e-739f71c16b01@gmail.com> Date & Time: Thu, 1 Apr 2021 17:26:39 +1300 [RK] == Robin Klitscher <robin.klitscher@gmail.com> has written: RK> For many years – 20 or more - I’ve been installing without problems the RK> Nvidia GEForce drivers in successive editions of openSUSE/Leap “the hard RK> way”, using nVidia’s xxx.run packages.

Lo and behold, that cured the problem. I met the same issue, before. I solved this by; 1. # uninstall-nvidia 2. # rm -f /usr/lib64/*nvidia* 3. install NVIDIA's driver. That is, the point is the removal 460.56's files. Regards, --- ┏━━┓彡 Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ Think. -- The IBM slogan --
