Hi,
I just got a new ThinkPad P1- Gen 8 laptop with Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell.
added Repo : Index of /opensuse/leap/16.0/x86_64 as normal and tried to install G06 latest. but no hardware found running nvidia-smi.
just to make sure there is no issue on the driver, I installed Ubuntu 24.04.3 and all graphics and CUDA worked as expected.
backed again to Leap 16 and tried , but still the same issue.
could someone please help to properly install GPU driver and all CUDA toolkit on this machine ?
Many thanks

If you have installed the opensource driver, you could try to replace it by the proprietary driver.
And if you modified your grub configuration before the installation by adding “nomodeset”, you should erase it after the installation.
Please see the command output:

the open driver is installed automatically.
It seems normally add nvidia driver repo and the install it normally works on Leap 15.6. I followed the same approach but nothing happened.
For as far as I know “nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default” is not the open driver, it is the proprietary one and it is OK.
Did you insert “nomodeset” in the grub-configuration just before the installation?
No I haven’t. just added the repo and tried to install the proprietary driver which is as you mentioned, “nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-defualt” is proprietary driver from the repo.
The issue is more toward disabling open driver and always be on proprietary driver plus CUDA toolkit.
So, anyone has any actual workflow around that?
@neocurve Hi, I just ran (today even…)
zypper inr
zypper in nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default
update-bootloader --del-option nomodeset
update-bootloader
I see;

great 
could you please give me proper instruction then I can follow making sure I can set up the system like yours?
@neocurve the very first 4 commands…
here is the output after I did run those 4 command:

@neocurve So you’re running secure boot I would assume and when rebooted got the MOK enrollment screen and accepted the nvidia signing key etc?
No I have disabled it. and I don’t any signing key
@neocurve force the re-install of the nvidia kmp zypper in -f nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default
did that. nothing happened 
the same as before. it is sad really
Did you reboot after???
