Got an RTX 3060 for my TW and now I wonder which repos/drivers I need.
I currently have an NVS 310, which I would like to keep (kernel-firmware-nvidia and libdrm-nouveau2 installed, according to YasT) for video output. The Geforce is meant for computing stuff.
Is it possible to have these two cards at the same time?
@suse_rasputin that’s all up to you… for simplicity I would suggest just the one gpu. Set the default to multi-user, shutdown, install new gpu, boot, install the rpms, set default to graphical target and reboot…
I doubt you can install two different driver at the same time. I used to use two nvidias but both using G04. When I upgraded to RTX I had to remove the old gforce. Your new card is 300% more powerful why need a secondary old graphic card. Just my opinion.
This is FUD which is unfortunately spread by non Nvidia users and ppl which can‘t follow simple instructions.
With modern cards like yours which use the G06 and G05 drivers, at each kernel/driver update, everything is rebuild on the users machine automatically.
Issues may arise when you use the legacy drivers G04, G03 and hardware older than 10 years. These drivers need heavy patching to be compatible with actual kernels.
On my test system, I used the K620, but it runs offload now as have an Intel Arc board installed for oneapi. I have not had issues on that system with the G06 driver.
There is no “opensuse NVIDIA repos”. NVIDIA drivers are built on internal SUSE servers and submitted to NVIDIA which publishes them. There is only one repository which is provided by NVIDIA.
openSUSE-repos
We've recently added NVIDIA repository under the new RIS management which is already used by default on MicroOS as well as openSUSE Leap Micro.
You'll be asked whether you agree to import the 3rd party NVIDIA gpg key on the first refresh. We currently don't have a good way how to "trust" the thirdparty key and avoid this step. So please confirm the import of the key with yes.
Leap and Tumbleweed
As a root, enter the following in a terminal:
# zypper install openSUSE-repos-NVIDIA
Add the Nvidia Repository
The NVIDIA drivers can not be included with openSUSE because of their license. Conveniently, NVIDIA has an openSUSE repository that can be added and downloaded from.
