New Tumbleweed reinstall

Hey,

Every time I move my mouse, the desktop/screen flickers/blinks quickly. I’ve only used “konsole” → “sudo zypper update” to update everything, expect, once zypper doesn’t show any updates, I’ve checked with yast and updated if there have been anything to update.
nvidia-smi
shows that I have:

  • nvidia-compute-utils-G06 [ path: /usr/bin/nvidia-smi, repository: NVIDIA:repo-non-free ]
  • nvidia-compute-utils-G06 [ path: /usr/bin/nvidia-smi, repository: NVIDIA:repo-non-free ]

As you can see, different versions.

Tumbleweed is only to be updated with

zypper dup

Oh, that is new to me. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:
I’ll give it a try.

That’s why folks have issues :slight_smile: Never use “zypper update” for TW. It’s a rolling release, so “zypper dup” is required.

For Leap, yea, “up” is used, but not TW. (But if you’re running Leap Beta, use “dup”, then when released, “up”.)
