Another thing I just noticed: When _no_ nvidia package is installed and I select x11-video-nvidiaG03 for installation, BOTH nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default AND nvidia-gfxG03-default get selected automatically for installation (and kernel-default).
I don't see this issue (with only kernel-desktop installed). But I am testing on x86_64. Just for your information: I found out why this happens on my system (at least why nvidia-gfxG03-default gets selected instead of *-desktop; the G02 module doesn't get selected anymore but I guess the reason was related):
When I uninstall the nvidia packages, they get added to /var/lib/zypp/SoftLocks. If I remove that file before I try to install x11-video-nvidiaG03 again, the correct kmp gets selected! (nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop) I think because of the soft lock on nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop, the solver prefers to install nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default, even though kernel-desktop is installed and not kernel-default. And I think that's intended behaviour of the solver, because otherwise when you uninstall a recommended package it will get installed again automatically some time later. But at least the result is unexpected in this case IMHO. Anyway, that's no bug in the nvidia driver packages... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
