I’m ex Debian user and I’m trying to install nvidia drivers on my opensuse tumbleweed for my nvidia rtx4060ti.
In the following documentation https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA\_drivers it clearly says that first I need to run zypper install openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA (which for my surprise, it uninstalls the microos version that randomly got installed on my computer). And after that I run zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta .
The issue is that:
MOKutils doesn’t show up in the terminal asking for a password. Also there is no nvidia-pubkeys folder in /usr/share
The nvidia driver that is installed has only 120MB.
Resolution is locked at 768p and 60hz (my monitor is 244hz).
I can’t find any official documentation about installing nvidia drivers. I want the full nvidia driver experince like I’ve had it on Debian.
Welcome (again ). Please open a terminal and issue:
su -
<password>
zypper lr -d
zypper se -si nvidia
Then copy and paste the output of the two last lines, including the command and the trailing prompt, between code tags (use the </> button above the editing area).
There is currently a mismatch with the drivers in the Nvidia repo (see the reply to your other post for details).
At this point, the easiest way is to wait a week or two before installing Tumbleweed again.
But when i run “zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta” it supposed to download other things too? It only downloaded a 120mb driver. A fully nvidia driver has over 600mb
As already written, there is currently a mismatch in available drivers; once you reinstall Tumbleweed, post the actual output of the commands and we will help you through that. The SDB:Nvidia_drivers is current and correct, the repos are not at the time of writing this.
@VIVADE AFAIK for the NVIDIA:repo-non-free (Tumbleweed and Leap 16.0) there is no nvidia type dkms service, only in the cuda repository.
Information for package dkms:
-----------------------------

Upstream URL : https://github.com/dell/dkms
Summary : Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework
Description :
This package contains the framework for the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS)
method for installing module RPMS as originally developed by Dell.
… and the CUDA repo offers the “New Feature Branch” (currently 610.57.04) which is aimed at early adopters / developers / power users and might have its own snags, so not for the casual user and not a good candidate for default install if you don’t know what you are doing.
The OSS package usually lags the Nvidia one by a week or two and since the Nvidia repo keeps the old versions you should not see the specific problem described in this thread, but the CUDA driver is not so carefree as it appears in the expert hands of Malcolm
). Please open a terminal and issue:
