--- Comment #38 from Stefan Dirsch
And we also got it wrong in the release notes :-((
https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/15.2/#sec.driver...
"Importantly, this affects NVIDIA or AMD graphics drivers from the manufacturer's repositories"
This sounds very confusing. As if AMD and NVIDIA would provide signed kernel modules. They don't. They only provide a binary part, which gets built/linked against a glue layer source during installation.
"Kernel Module Packages (KMPs) from the official openSUSE repositories are not affected, because the modules they contain are signed with the openSUSE key."
Do we offer any openSUSE KMPs other than the one for NVIDIA? I doubt. And the NVIDIA one is very special, because everything is build/linked on the target system for legal reasons. Or are openSUSE Community repos not considered official? Could be ...
"Kernel modules that are not signed will be treated as being “tainted”. Loading them will result in a warning message, but they will function."
now proved to be a wrong assumption :-(
I have to confess I didn't test this myself, and what Michal said matched my shady memories how it used to behave when I last tried (+4y ago).
I haven't tested this either unfortunately. :-( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
