Hello,
I recently upgraded from Leap 42.2 to 42.3 and I am using the latest KDE (KDE Plasma: 5.11.4, KDE Frameworks: 5.40.0, Qt Version: 5.10.0). After the upgrade, my NVIDIA graphics card fan is constantly ON, even when I am just browsing. I did not have this problem in Leap 42.2 so I uninstalled NVIDIA driver and currently using Nouveau with Bumblebee. I followed this link https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee and changed the following line
in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf:
[bumblebeed]
Driver=nouveau
and restarted Bumblebeed
sudo systemctl restart bumblebeed
The fan is still on. Here are some information

Your help is appreciated. The constant fan noise is annoying !
