Hi, I’d like to ask a few things about the nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta package on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
AFAIK nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta is recommended if you own a Turing+ GPU so I checked mine with inxi -aG and here’s the outputs
Device-2: NVIDIA GA107M [GeForce RTX 2050] vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI
driver: nvidia v: 580.105.08 alternate: nouveau,nvidia_drm
non-free: 550-580.xx+ status: current (as of 2025-08; EOL~2026-12-xx)
arch: Turing code: TUxxx process: TSMC 12nm FF built: 2018-2022 pcie:
gen: 4 speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 4 link-max: lanes: 16 bus-ID: 01:00.0
chip-ID: 10de:25a9 class-ID: 0302
As I see my driver is a Turing (arch: Turing) and I tried to install nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta like the docs recommended, and then I got hit with this problem
sudo zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta

Problem: 1: the to be installed nvidia-common-G06-580.105.08-44.1.x86_64 requires '(nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp = 580.105.08 if nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta)', but this requirement cannot be provided

Solution 1: deinstallation of nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.105.08_k6.17.6_1-44.1.x86_64
Solution 2: do not install nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta-580.105.08-25.1.x86_64
Solution 3: break nvidia-common-G06-580.105.08-44.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c/d/?] (c):
And I don’t quite understand these. So I don’t really know if I should choose deinstallation of nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.105.08_k6.17.6_1-44.1.x86_64 or do not install nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta-580.105.08-25.1.x86_64. And I already have nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default installed so I wonder if I should also install nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta.

I’m not really good at these drivers stuff so I really appreciate some helps. Thanks.
