Leap 15.6 Nvidia drivers BETA

Hi,

I just received an update for Nvidia drivers 570.86.16-lp156.31.1 and seems to be beta release. I so not know how this happened and broke my system. Of course I had to recover.

The repositories I have are the below:

A little help would be appreciated. This is mine fault or the beta release just roll out to stable release channel?

Also on Nvidia website it shows this release as BETA:

Best regards,
Jim

@malcolmlewis have you any idea on this?

This applies also for the Tumbleweed Nvidia repo. Out of curiosity upgraded two Tumblweed machines with the new driver: no installation issues. The only difference is, that nvidia-settings is now a seperate package and nvidia-utils-G0x gets removed.

@Jniko That driver is released with the latest 12.8 cuda, so not Beta IMHO…

It’s all good here;

This is a bit weird now.

@hui I tried to update again to the the 570.86.16 and now is working. I do not know what has happened.

@malcolmlewis I see that you are using the 570.86.10which is stable if you are referring to this version. Based on the NVIDIA the 570.86.16 is BETA. See the attached link below.

@Jniko No, I use cuda, so I get the cuda files and driver from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit and install the Leap 15 version run file from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=OpenSUSE&target_version=15&target_type=runfile_local

Ok but still the 570.86.10 driver. The one just went upstream is the 570.86.16.

@Jniko Bug fixes… https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/240524/ I will update to that version later…
