Hi Stefan, Dominique & all,
The recent kernel v4.14.9 release breaks NVIDIA driver. There's a patch available on https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028016/linux/patch-for-compiling-v 384-98-modules-with-linux-v4-14-9-/, do you mind applying it?
Going further, would be the openQA test that tries to install NVIDIA proprietary driver be ever accepted to general test suite? Or is there an OBS project with "working-with-nvidia" kernel packages? Sure, these suggestions are off top of the head, probably there is a better way to prevent "nvidia driver doesn't compile for 3 snapshots in a row, older kernels were just purged by purge-kernels so X doesn't run at all" case.
In case you want to see the current test overview of openSUSE Tumbleweed on openqa.opensuse.org you can take a look into https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview? distri=opensuse&groupid=1&version=Tumbleweed and http://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/ for the test code. I see no problem in coming up with an openQA test to try this out. Of course testing that the drivers actually work would be more tricky. Also the main Tumbleweed tests should test systems which are under full control by openSUSE contributions. Adding content from nvidia which is not under control should not be done in a test for Tumbleweed snapshot acceptance but it should be possible to have this test still on openqa.opensuse.org in another job group. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
