The part in Spanish says that the package is already installed.
The thing is that the NVIDIA driver is not working after a fresh update. Any advice? For installing the driver I followed this guide: SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE Wiki
The part in Spanish says that the package is already installed.
Perhaps also take a look at:
Toward the end the blog post there is a description of how to cleanup and start from scratch - which is something you might consider if you don’t want to figure out what state you’re in.
The post also covers some common traps and how to avoid them.
Hi!
Thanks for your post, but it didn’t work 
@serjor a new kernel and snapshot arrived 6.17.9. Have you run zypper -vvv dup? If so then force the re-install via zypper -f nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default as it’s at version 580.105.08_k6.17.9.
Are you updating Tumbleweed properly?
With:
zypper dup
This time I used discover.
I tried the commands zypper -vvv dup zypper dup, zypper in -f nvidia-open-driver... but no luck, the driver is not working
@serjor can you show the output from zypper se -si nvidia I suspect a version mismatch somewhere.
Sure, and thanks a lot for the support:

@serjor your booting into the older kernel 6.17.8, should be booting to 6.17.9 so the issue is not with the nvidia driver, since it’s been rebuilt for the 6.17.9 kernel…
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong then… When booting the system I only have an option. It is true that suddenly the list of the btrfs snapshots is gone, and there is only one option.
@serjor please start a new thread as we seem to have concluded that it’s not a driver issue, but unable to boot to the new kernel…
The issue is, that there is still nomodeset on the kernel command line. After removal, the driver should work.
sudo update-bootloader --del-option nomodeset
sudo update-bootloader --config
@hui that too 
but if no options to boot to kernel 6.17.9…
tried, still no luck
I will. Thanks a lot for your support.
Well, the problem is that there is not enough space in the /boot partition. I installed the system from scratch less than a month ago, using the installer defaults, formatting the hard drive, so I’m not sure how it is possible that a fresh install runs out of space for the /boot partition so soon. Fortunately for me, I don’t have anything important installer that I can’t download later, so I’ll reinstall the system from scratch, with a bigger /boot partition, as I don’t want to deal with resizing the disk (I don’t even know how to do that).
In any case, once again, thanks you all for the support
