Installed leap 16 RC a month ago with nvidia driver version 580.76. An update broke it due to some packages updated to 580.82. Multiple uninstall and reinstall didn’t solve it. I re-installed leap this week. But the issue is still not resolved. Wonder when this will be fixed.
@csrinivas Hi, you might want to check in Myrlyn and the version tabs to switch over to the 580.82.07 packages (which are present in the repo). Does your card support the open driver, eg Turing or better?
Sure? I see the open driver is still at 580.76 in the Leap 16 repos?
@OrsoBruno If the card supports the open driver, until the repo version is in sync, user will need to switch to the proprietary nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.82.07 version…

Hiya. Can’t say how Leap 16 is handling updates but on Tumbleweed side Nvidia open kernel driver specifically is quite problematic. Most of packages are in NVIDIA:repo-non-free repository while nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default is at openSUSE:repo-oss. Those two repositories are getting updated at different times. Nearly every time new Nvidia driver version is released nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default is lagging 1 version behind for some time.
In this situation I personally prevent packages from getting updated by using zypper addlock and running zypper dup after that. If packages are installed already you may roll them back by using zypper search -s to find correct version and then running zypper install --oldpackage to install them. Switching to older proprietary flavor (nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default) is an option too unless you’re running 50 series GPU.
My card is 5070. It supports open driver, and it is recommended too. I will check if Myrlyn can fix this.
Open driver is recommended. So, i am waiting for it. May be i will install the proprietary stuff and see how it goes.
sorry for not mentioning the card. It’s 5070. I hope this gets fixed in a week. If not, I will try your suggestions.
@csrinivas Yes, but you can always go the “Hard Way” and it’s just the kmp, everything else is from the repository… Or as indicated, lock and wait.
Not only recommended but it’s the only option for 50 series according to Nvidia documentation. So only nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default or so called the “Hard Way” will work for you. Usually it takes up to 2 weeks in worst case scenario for Nvidia driver update to sync on Tumbleweed. Hopefully Leap 16 will resolve it soon.

Leap 16 is still not released so don’t hold your breath for it.
Leap 16 releases on Oct 1. As of now, only arch linux, and fedora (rpmfusion) have latest nvidia drivers sorted out. I will wait for Leap to join them.
