Nvidia Update. Which one?

Yeah, that wasn’t much better. The driver installed, but nouveau also loaded every time. It now appears to be load bearing because forcing it to not load either locked the system or killed my usb peripherals - not really much of a functional difference. I thought I was doing something wrong, but I found some reddit users report similar.
I also tried removing all nvidia related packages and just install the meta, which pulled the incompatible driver as a dependency.

So if you have a currently working install with nvidia drivers, give it more time.

When you use the run file, you need to read the docs. You need to use the correct commandline flag to create the nouveau blacklist.

Thank you. I did.

 Solution 3: keep obsolete nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.84_k7.1.5_1-2.4.x86_64

I have choosen solution3, but after restart Nouveau-driver is used!

i don’t really know what to choose without breaking the system, so if i wait for say about 2 weeks without updating the system, there is a chance that this package conflict will be solved?

solution 3 as long as there is no new kernel update, before updating you can easily check the available version through Myrlyn.

basically the open driver G06 or G07 needs to sync with both kernel version and proprietary Nvidia packages version, and both are shown for the open driver package.

that desync is a rare issue but happens from time to time.

To avoid further confusion, please be aware that the current default kernel is 7.1.8.
All matching nvidia-open-driver-G07-xxx packages are still available in the history/20260814 repo but only the last one is indexed, so you may have to download and install manually the older versions matching your userspace nvidia driver.
Currently the Nvidia non-free repo does not offer yet the 595.91.07 userspace drivers and this is the reason of all this thread.
As soon as the 595.91.07 version appears on the Nvidia repo you can upgrade to the nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default-595.91.07_k7.1.8_1-1.2. too.
We (as in the volunteer users that help other users here on the Forum) cannot have any clue on when this is going to happen, even if delays of more than a week or two are rare.

9 posts were split to a new topic: NVIDIA UVM driver not loaded at boot

Hello everybody,

I’m ex Debian user and I’m trying to install nvidia drivers on my opensuse tumbleweed for my nvidia rtx4060ti.

In the following documentation https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA\_drivers it clearly says that first I need to run zypper install openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA (which for my surprise, it uninstalls the microos version that randomly got installed on my computer). And after that I run zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-meta .

The issue is that:

  1. MOKutils doesn’t show up in the terminal asking for a password. Also there is no nvidia-pubkeys folder in /usr/share
  2. The nvidia driver that is installed has only 120MB.
  3. Resolution is locked at 768p and 60hz (my monitor is 244hz).

I can’t find any official documentation about installing nvidia drivers. I want the full nvidia driver experince like I’ve had it on Debian.

How did you managed to work it out with it?

Is this documentation obsolete?

Thanks!

Welcome to openSUSE and to the Forums!
SDB:NVIDIA_drivers is the official documentation, other optional sources are linked there.
At the moment there is a mismatch in the available drivers, please see post #47 above.
Please open a new thread of your own if you need detailed help, or just wait a few days and try again.

So do I just need to play the waiting game for my drivers to work? I want to play Baldur’s Gate 3! Seriously though I dont understand half of this thread, the most i’ve ever done on this distro was use snapper rollback to get rid of the permanent black screen I got after mistakenly choosing solution 4. I do not know how to do any of this complex kernal mumbo jumbo.

Assuming that your GPU supports the G07 driver, try to follow this thread (possibly avoiding the mistakes highlighted there :wink: )

Just updated to the new 595.91.07 driver using Yast2. This works fine but the updates do not yet appear in the nvidia repo at:

I’m updating now to 595.91.07. So the miss match issue is sorted

the issue should have been resolved since the 595.91 has been updated in userspace source

So now, since you said that the problem is resolved, after a fresh tumbleweed install, i just need to add tumbleweed nvidia repo and then use zypper in nvidia g07 kpm meta and everything will install with it?

Yes, should work fine.

I can confirm that nvidia drivers are working as expected now

What version are they, out of interest?

This seems to be fixed now in case anyone hadn’t noticed yet!
