Curious when the NVidia drivers are updated (currently 570.86.16)

Hi. Today I did a fresh install of Tumbleweed. After reboot, I got the nvidia 570.86.16 offered and went for it. After rebooting and logging into a Wayland session, all went well.

But when I want to install nvidia-smi, there’s a fixed bug that’s waiting to be released. Something broken with the libcrypto.so.1.1. See 1236882 – nvidia-compute-G06-570.86.16-31.1.x86_64: nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit) on install. Last message says:

“Stefan Dirsch 2025-02-08 18:27:30 UTC: Fixed for next driver package update.”

So, hence my question. When is the next driver packages update to be expected? I’m quite new to Tumbleweed, so not quite aware of periodic scheduled rolling updates.

@hoevenvd Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:
The update info would be added to the bug report when it’a done… Does it work if you ignore the dependency on the obsolete lib?

Yeah, I will give it a try, to ignore the dependency.

But, back to my question :wink: There’s not really something to say about when (couple of days/weeks) the updated package becomes available? Just curious, as I am new. I’ll await the updated info

Just ignore it, new installs only have libopenssl3, old installs may have libopenssl1 as well but that does not impact the Nvidia driver.

@hoevenvd Only by watching the package info here https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Drivers:Video:Redesign/nvidia-driver-G06 and the changes file.

These are not built/distributed here, but information is mirrored…

And you can read up in the linked bugreport, why nobody knows when the next driver will be released …

My compliments for this community with quick responses and given directions on a topic. Much appreciated!

On topic: issue solved by ignoring the dependencies. All working in excellent order now.

@hui Thx for the link, nvidia disclosures :wink:
