I just received word from Stefan Dirsch that the NVIDIA drivers for 13.1 are now online .
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.1/
Thanks, is it possible to include a Tumbleweed repo?
Why? Tumbleweed explicitely states on <http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed> in the "Special Concerns" section: "If you have 3rd party kernel modules, Greg KH (the primary Tumbleweed maintainer) STRONGLY suggests that you not use Tumbleweed. Seriously, it's not worth the pain and extra work, unless you _really_ want to do it."
I do not expect to change his position, especially when there is closed source involved as it is the case here.
So I use Tumbleweed only on my laptops, which have Intel graphics, but my workstations always run on "pure" versions (including dozens of separate repos like network:samba:STABLE).
I have a server that I just (due to a major crash) migrated/new-install to 13.1, but do not believe Tumbleweed is right for a server. My other boxes all run Tumbleweed w/o any _major_ problems, but they all utilize the "easy install" of appropriate nvidia drivers" and have not incurred any problems that I can relate to Tumbleweed. But I do add other than "pure" repos for testing and/or production work where the "pure" repos do not include what I deem *necessary*. I cannot say that I have ever expierenced downtime from this mixture and I began with 11.2. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
