[opensuse] Tumbleweed and NVidia GEFORCE GT610
I am trying to do a new Tumbleweed install on a system that has a GT610 graphics card. The install fails early on, complaining that /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so cannot be found. This file does exist in a current Tumbleweed system. So, I am guessing that there are fewer files on the install media. In this case, it is the network installer. Two questions: * Is there a list of supported graphics cards that can be used with tumbleweed (including the install step)? * Might more files be available in the full installer as compared to the network installer? This is a install of a test system. We were just hoping to use what we had at hand for some equipment testing. We need Tumbleweed because many libraries are compatible with Ubuntu 18.04. Don't ask... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When we switched to using the full installer, the problem went away. So it looks like it is something in the network installer. Some RPM that is not installed that is in the full installer? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's a common message I see when using GLX programs remotely. It doesn't seem to make a difference, but I think I first reported that at least 5 years ago. Oddly enough, I was able to get GLX programs to start running about 2 years ago and they still have been running when I tried them again. Having a high-speed connection between my suse server and my windows desktop does help, but X uses small packet sizes to encapsulate things so latency adds up and makes it slower than it should be.

This was not remote. It was the Tumbleweed installer running on the console. By network installer, I meant the installer that downloads what it needs. But it would not run, complaining that the file was not found. Of course, it could be something else that causes this failure. But it was what it looked to be complaining about. The full installer, otoh, works fine. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
