--- Comment #10 from Stefan Hundhammer ---
Well, for one thing, this is clearly not a problem of the installer; changing
bug component.
As for the real problem: With a rolling release like Tumbleweed it is very
problematic to try to use binary driver packages from a 3rd party like NVidia.
This may or may not work; the general tendency is that this does not work.
NVidia does a great job providing Linux drivers, but even they cannot keep up
with all those new kernel versions that are constantly arriving.
As a SUSE system developer, I have the same situation on my workstation
machine. The only reasonable workaround is to build the driver manually from
the half-manual packages also provided by NVidia - the thing called
NVidia-xxxxx.run .
Yes, this is painful since for every kernel update you will have to repeat that
- after the newly installed kernel is booted. But this is the only reliable way
out of this problem.
This is the price for being on a bleeding edge system. The alternative is to
use Leap 42.1 or a stable openSUSE release.
