Nvidia drivers installed but not working after migration to Leap 16

I figured that out. Trying to move forward.
I reinstalled 15.6 again, and plan on trying the migration too from that fresh install of Leap 15.6.

Curious as to why you marked post #53 of this topic as a solution, when it’s not clear that you tried it with Leap 16, or even have Leap 16 up and running yet.

Another my bad!
How do I remove the solution in post #15

deano_ferrari · October 19, 2025, 5:36am

Not post #15, post #53

Bill_L · October 19, 2025, 5:37am

Same question how do I remove the ‘solution’ in #53?

deano_ferrari · October 19, 2025, 5:38am

I’ve done it for you.

Bill_L · October 19, 2025, 5:39am

Thanks,
Would be good to know what I did to mark it solved.

Accidentally clicking on the tick icon?

Bill_L · October 19, 2025, 5:43am

Thanks, will be more aware going forward.

deano_ferrari · October 19, 2025, 5:43am

So, have you tried crmrhm’s advice re upgrading to Leap 16 with the migration tool?

Bill_L · October 19, 2025, 6:12am

I have Leap 16.0 in! It will be adequate until I get the new GPU card.

CAN THIS THREAD BE PUT TO BED NOW ??

deano_ferrari · October 19, 2025, 6:20am

Good result Bill. Leap 16 with the nouveau driver I assume. The thread will self close with 30 days of inactivity, or you can mark the relevant post as your solution and it will close after a week of inactivity.

Thank you @deano_ferrari and @malcolmlewis for pointing out the nvidia site driver would not build (i didn’t know that since I run a more recent gpu). You avoided Bill some headaches :). Best regards.
