hi, thanks for the free os
i got this error when trying to run nvidia-smi after installing the nvidia driver G06 version (my gpu is pascal)
fajar@localhost:~> nvidia-smi
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
NVML library version: 595.45
i couldn’t find a way to install nvml with same version as the G06
what should i do?
You can use Myrlyn and its version tab to find and install matching versions.
But show
zypper se -si nvidia
i open up myrlyn but there are only this 595 version
and here’s the output of the command
fajar@localhost:~> zypper se -si nvidia

You should be able to remove the two additional packages via
sudo zypper rm libnvidia-cfg libnvidia-ml
If the solver wants to remove more packages, don’t do it.
If the packages are succesfully removed, force the reinstallation of the kmp
sudo zypper in -f nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default
thanks, it works!

Apparently there is a bug:
bruno@LT-B:~> zypper info --requires nvidia-compute-utils-G06 |grep libnvidia-ml
libnvidia-ml.so.1()(64bit)
bruno@LT-B:~> zypper info --provides nvidia-compute-G06 |grep libnvidia-ml
libnvidia-ml.so.1()(64bit)
libnvidia-ml = 580.126.18
bruno@LT-B:~> zypper info --provides libnvidia-ml |grep libnvidia-ml
Information for package libnvidia-ml:
Name : libnvidia-ml
libnvidia-ml.so.1()(64bit)
libnvidia-ml = 595.45.04-4.1
libnvidia-ml(x86-64) = 595.45.04-4.1
bruno@LT-B:~>
and apparently the latter is selected for alphabetical reasons even for GPUs that support only the G06 driver and not the G07 one.
