Nvidia 390x driver users - glibc 2.37 will bring bad news
Nvidia 390x driver users, Hopefully the opensuse dev wizards can pull a rabbit out of their proverbial hats before glibc 2.37 drops. Otherwise things look very grim for all cards that rely on the driver. Short version - Nvidia only provided updates for the 390x driver through the end of 2022. The issue is the binary parts supplied with the nvidia driver and the parts you manually compile must be build with the same glibc versions. With Nvidia no longer providing updates to the binary parts -- glibc version drift is a foregone eventuality. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=283327 for the demise of the old cards on Arch -- which may also provide a heads-up for the creative devs here :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What series of cards would that be? cheers MH -- Mathias Homann Mathias.Homann@openSUSE.org OBS: lemmy04 Jabber (XMPP): lemmy@tuxonline.tech Matrix: @mathias:eregion.de IRC: [Lemmy] on liberachat and ircnet (bouncer active) keybase: https://keybase.io/lemmy gpg key fingerprint: 8029 2240 F4DD 7776 E7D2 C042 6B8E 029E 13F2 C102

This is a HUGE swath of Nvidia cards. Basically everything GTX580 and below with Fermi core. Includes are large number of mobile GPUs from Quadro 6000 down and GT 820M and down. It covers some 110 cards (which includes 518 card variations of Device/Subdevice PCI ID) Two good references are: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html -- David C.

All is not lost!! Key is to make the nvidia driver use to current /usr/lib/tls (from glibc 2.37) so the magiccookie/authcookie are interpreted the same. This prevents the "Connection Refused" on xinit. See both: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2083569 (complete install stage solution) https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nvidia-390xx-utils (quickfix with ldconfig) The nvidia-390xx driver can continue to function! -- David C.
