Hi
Since yesterday there are NVIDIA gfx driver RPMs available for Tumbleweed. Feel free to give them a try by adding the repository manually via
zypper ar https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed nvidia-tumbleweed
Stefan,
until yesterday I used the "Alternative, based on OBS" on page https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way for my Leap host, since I use obs://Kernel:/stable/standard here (due to Skylake, which is not covererd by the 4.4 kernel).
Yesterday I tried to rebuild, but I don't get all files from it. I only get
nvidia-gfxG04-384.59-0.nosrc.rpm nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-384.59_k4.11.8_2-0.x86_64.rpm
Seems you haven't read the README file referenced on this Wiki page. You need to specify the right specfile for the build to generate also the userspace packages.
I read, and I used both commands for x86_64. Only the output was ... not satisfying. But this was yesterday, and today - using the commands from .bash_history - it works... I hate cases like that, irreproducible failures :-\ Now there are nvidia-computeG04-384.59-0.x86_64.rpm nvidia-gfxG04-384.59-0.nosrc.rpm nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-384.59_k4.11.8_2-0.x86_64.rpm nvidia-glG04-384.59-0.x86_64.rpm x11-video-nvidiaG04-384.59-0.nosrc.rpm x11-video-nvidiaG04-384.59-0.x86_64.rpm BTW, there are some warnings during build, and one error: ---snip--- [ 204s] nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default.x86_64: E: spurious-executable-perm (Badness: 50) /usr/src/kernel-modules/nvidia-384.59-default/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_get_rm_ptes_test.c [ 204s] The file is installed with executable permissions, but was identified as one [ 204s] that probably should not be executable. Verify if the executable bits are [ 204s] desired, and remove if not. NOTE: example scripts should be packaged under [ 204s] %docdir/examples, which will avoid this warning. ---pins--- The packages are built, though :)
In case you try the RPMs once more, please run "nvidia-installer --uninstall" before.
I will do at home. Before using the nvidia-installer, I tried to run my box using the modules from the new TW repo. I didn't get any better output than before. Whatever was broken, nvidia-installer fixed it. Thank you! Werner --
