again, all nvidia driver components are updated to 580.126 , except the kmp-default at 580.119. Why can’t they wait until this is also updated. Anyway the driver won’t work until kmp-default is updated. Why break it.
You do not provide any information to work with. Which distribution do you use? Which driver packages are installed?
You need to provide basic informations…
Tumbleweed, Leap 15.6 and 16.0 have nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.126.09
Or do you speak about open drivers?
If no technical help is wanted or required, this thread belongs into open chat.
The gap between the versions where already explained often enough. The open kernel modules are built by an openSUSE maintainer. These packages undergo an extensive QA and other workflow. That is why they show up later than the base driver packages which are provided by Nvidia itself.
When you use the proper meta packages, there shouldn’t be any gap as you only update when the versions are matching.
Sorry to butt in, but it’s for my wife’s laptop. She’s on Tumbleweed with kernel-longterm (can’t do an inxi right now, she’s away with her laptop for the weekend but it’s like my laptop a (NVIDIA AD107M [GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile]))
Which is the correct meta package for for the G06 and the longterm-kernel?
Thanks
Yes, same here. I guess we’ll have to wait for some more days.

I guess you’ll want the one without “cuda”.

It is not just the long term. It is also normal tumbleweed.
I had to do a new tumbleweed (full usb) install yesterday and switched to the open nvidia driver.
No mok key was installed so I tried to reinstall the nvidia userspace meta. It fails with 126 vs 119 version mismatch.
Stuck with unusable 800x600. 
Any workaround possible?
@joba1 On Tumbleweed, I use the run file here (no secure boot)… the “Hard Way (always works way)”?

Leap 16 in myrlyn, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default still shows 580.119 version. So is nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta.
I will check tumble weed in an hour.
Check the version available in Myrlyn. Also the versions of other nvidia packages. Update only if all of them are at same version.
Tumbleweed also has old nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default 580.119 version.
And what about G07 driver? is it working now?
Should be nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta, please see:

@csrinivas I’m using the closed driver kmp default, as opposed to the open driver on Leap 16.0. The open driver via run file on Tumbleweed…
I prefer open driver, as i use these distros for pro work. I am happy with existing nvidia drivers, and update manually when everything is ready.
@malcolmlewis, Thanks for the support.

The correct open driver has now been published and works fine.
Yes. open driver kmp_default 580.126 is available now, and works. Leap 16 didn’t get the update yet.
