[opensuse] Nvidia Leap Repository?
Hi Folks, I have a feeling that this was noticed before, so sorry if this is a repeat. What happened to http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/? The other versions are there, but leap is missing in action. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, but you could still use a browser to browse around if you knew the paths. Also, a zypper lr -u shows this for the path: http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2 Which doesn't exist now. But it seems that the ftp server isn't answering up either. So ftp connections are failing, and leap versions are gone (according to the browser). So things are really borked there!

Unless it has changed recently, openSUSE nVidia RPMs were building KMP during installation, so they required enough development environment to create kernel modules as well. It is true that before that - very long time ago - they were provided as binary. I think it was changed due to licensing reasons (restriction on redistributing binary drivers). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is too early to update anything to 42.3. It is only intended for testing, not for real use.

Typically that happens some time after official release. Apparently uploading the nvidia rpm is a slow and manual process, so the Betas do not benefit. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

uhm, in this case, Nvidia seems to have shut down their repo site at all. People wrote, one can't access them with a browser, but with yast or zypper, but here zypper/yast also run into a timeout when trying to refresh the repo. And this is the case for 42.2, not only for 42.3.

It is a corollary of "slow manual access", like in "someone knows someone that knows someone that has write access" Something of the sort. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I just added nVidia repo for testing and it worked just fine on 42.2. So I have no idea what all this fuss is about. nVidia repo was never provided until final release, and it was true for all past versions, so I do not understand why people suddenly expect it for 42.3 either.

no, I don't *expected* it for 42.3 - it would have been great for testing 42.3, though. But it didn't work for 42.2 - neither with zypper nor with yast. It always ran into a timeout or into an error, when I tried to refresh the repo or remove and add the repo. But this was obviously my fault: ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- zypper ar -n 'nvidia' -c -f ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2 nvidia Adding repository 'nvidia' [.. Timeout exceeded when accessing 'ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2/repodata/repomd.xml'. ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- zypper ar -n 'nvidia' -c -f http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2 nvidia Adding repository 'nvidia' .......................................................................................[done] Repository 'nvidia' successfully added ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- So the repo access via ftp is no longer available, access via http and a browser also does not work, but access via http and using zypper or yast works.

I did it for years, but it was/is not fun at all - especially because I always had to start it 10 to 20 times, because I often got defunct children of make (sh, mkdir, ...), so that the compile just stopped and had to be restarted. Every so often you got a package, that couldn't be compiled at all. You had to wait for an appropriate patch. And sometimes - as it is the case with 42.3 now - the modules finally compiled, but didn't load.
answering a few questions or passing a couple of parameters and remembering to run the script when the kernel or mesa packages are updated.
This describes how it should be, but it isn't.
so you *can* be amused.
Not really. So it would really be great to have an official repository that provides the appropriate drivers. If not, I can live with it, but I wouldn't be amused.

Yes, I can understand your angst, for want of a better word, about this. And what puzzles me is that when I install, say, oS/Leap on the laptop it automatically installs the correct nvidia driver for the Nvidia chip in the laptop and yet when it comes to the desktop the (driver in a wheelchair called) nouveau is the default driver -- and even this one often fails to produce an image at installation time (I had to issue the 'nomodeset' command before I could proceed to install Leap 42.3 Beta).

Patrick, the man said that he couldn't compile the driver when he tried.

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.

When the Community nVidia repository is added from yast2 we get this as a url: http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.2 This should be correct since nVidia disabled their ftp server. But the directory pointed to is empty. as is 42.1 and 42.3. Indeed, there is nothing at all in the "leap" directory. Using our browser of choice and looking http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse we can see: 13.1/ 13.2/ 12.2/ leap/ 12.3/ index.html README All of the 12 and 13 directories have repositories, but "leap" returns a 404-Not Found error. Is yast and zypper using some hidden trick to see content that isn't visible to http:? Since I've been using wget to build local nVidia repositories that also fails now with leap. Is there some other way? Or, is the repository upload process broken now since nVidia removed ftp? Did not anyone notice?

How would that work, Carlos? What secret protocol or port-knock would zypper use to reveal content that isn't visible to http?

It is not a secret, it has been mentioned in this thread and others, but as I know little about http I can't explain it. Assume that a browser doesn't find what it expects. There is no index file for Apache to serve, but there are files that YaST does expect and it directly asks for them.
Also, on one of my systems I have the nVidia repository enabled as a Community entry in yast2:

No.

Slight correction: browsing on http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/ now works! Everything is there and I was able to use wget to make a local image of the repository. So one lingering question: was browsing off for Leap and was recently turned on again by nVidia? Or was Leap and its sub-directories empty? I favor the Leap being empty hypothesis, since the other opensuse versions were always browsable. Go figure. At any rate, it works now.

Strange: zypper ref doesn't give an error, nor does yast2 repositories.
They are not visible by http access, until the transmitted user agent string is the same as that of zypper :) We had this long time ago with the Tumbleweed Update repo. I was then informed that there is a redirection, but only for zypper.
