Leap 16 update nvidia drivers

Hi, today with the discover updates of leap 16 , togeter with the nvidia drivers update i found these:


these seems from flatpack. what are they?Are they needed ? should i install them?

These are libraries which are needed by your installed flatpaks.

@hui ,thank for answering.
I used flatpack only to install aegisub, one these ones are referring to nvidia , both are almost 700 Mib . Are they needed only for this program? won’t they break anyting of the Nvidia drivers ?
If there any conflict risk i can delete all flatpack and flathub.

If somene else has the same doubts this is what i did :

  1. Check if you already have them or if they are required:
    ◦ Open a terminal and type: flatpak list --runtime
    ◦ Search for org.gnome.Platform and org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia. If you see older versions, the update will replace them or add the new one.
    ◦ Then: flatpak list --app to see which Flatpak apps you have. If any are GNOME-based (e.g., GIMP, Evolution) or GPU-based (e.g., 3D apps), they likely require these runtimes.
  2. Recommended option: Install them:
    ◦ They are safe and improve compatibility for Flatpak apps. Proceed with the update from Discover or from the terminal: flatpak update.
    ◦ After installation, reboot your system and test your NVIDIA drivers with nvidia-smi (it should show the GPU working as before).
    ◦ If you notice problems (rare, but possible with kernel/Flatpak mismatches), you can remove them with flatpak uninstall org.gnome.Platform//48 and flatpak uninstall org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-580-119-02, then clean up with flatpak repair and flatpak uninstall --unused.

After rebooting everything went fine.
