Today’s upgrade ( to snapshot 20231115 ) updated the “nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.157_k6.5.9_1-37.6.x86_64”.
The following message appeared during the upgrade:

# Modprobe blacklist files have been created at /usr/lib/modprobe.d to prevent Nouveau from loading. This can be reverted by deleting /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-*.conf.
# 
# *** Reboot your computer and verify that the NVIDIA graphics driver can be loaded. ***
# 
# warning: %triggerin(nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.157_k6.5.9_1-37.6.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
#

After the reboot, the NVIDIA driver has not been loaded.

As usual NVIDIA driver fails to build against new kernel version.

nVidia: build error with kernel 6.6.1 (was: Re: Again: kernel-default-6.2.1-1.1 / 20230304-0 breaks nVidia) - openSUSE Users - openSUSE Mailing Lists

@gogalthorp the G04 series needs patching for the 6.6 series kernel AFAIK which @ddtty is using…
