Nvidia - Mesa July 17th update issue

English Hardware
1

Not exactly sure how to narrow this down, but I know its from an update I ran on July17th regarding Mesa (Not intentional it happend when I udpated)

I found this post saying that mesa drivers are no longer available as of July 17th? Today I started having issues being able to launch a few of my vfx/editing softwares, mainly Davinci Resolve saying

"DaVinci Resolve could not initialize OpenGL. Please ensure
that the latest graphics drivers are installed."

I have the G06 Nvidia drivers installed and have not changed that. But if I rollback to the update run on July 17th specifically it breaks Davinci Resolve and a few other things.

Is there some recommendation to use a different Nvidia driver than what is in the offical repo? I’m quite stuck as this is my main workstation and rolling all the way back to the 17th is an issue… I’m not really sure what packages to freeze.

Current drivers I have:
NVIDIA-SMI 550.100 Driver Version: 550.100 CUDA Version: 12.4

Should also put that I’m on Leap 15.6
Plasma 5.27.11

That post is one month old and is not relevant anymore since mentioned packages are available for Leap 15.6 now (see here).

Maybe posting the results of the following commands may help us understand what you are writing about:

sudo cat /var/log/zypp/history|grep 2024-07-|grep Mesa

sudo zypper se -si Mesa

After rolling back and forth looking for what was updated, it looks like the Nvida G06 drivers all got bumped from 550.90.07 to 550.100. After pushing these back to 550.90 again, the OpenCL issues are gone. But I don’t know what the issue is with this latest?
