Hi folks,
We are currently having difficulties with the 11.2 kernel update, to version 2.6.31.12-0.1.1.
The kernel update is currently in the 11.2-test repo, http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2-test/ This repo is used for testing our updates before they are pushed to the official 11.2 repo.
A cursory test here showed that the NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA YMPs that were there before Christmas did not work with the new kernel. The ones published by NVIDIA after Christmas work with the test kernel.
We would like to have some testcoverage with NVIDIA drivers and this kernel update.
So if you have a NVIDIA card and use the drivers from either NVIDIA single click install (or even self installed ones), feedback would be appreciated.
As this is the test repo, we recommend testers be able to recover from potential wrong updates, like a non booting kernel. If you do not know how to recover from such things, please just disregard this email.
Ciao, Marcus (for the openSUSE Maintenance and Security team ;)
I'm still using "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run" dated 2009-11-06 would testing the kernel with that driver help to shed any light?
Just try. As this is the manual driver install you will need to rebuild it after the kernel update as usual.
Ciao, Marcus
I only updated the kernel to kernel-desktop 2.6.31.12 and didn't accept any of the other updates, installed the nvidia driver 190.42 which is dated 27 October 2009 and it's working. I've downloaded the 190.53 driver dated December 16 and the beta 195.30 dated December 23 to test as well.
