Just my luck that mine isn’t working.
Yes, there’s the driver that I’m not getting. The only thing I can think of now is that I have a “NVIDIA G92GLM [Quadro FX 3800M]” on a laptop (“M” suffix is for “mobile”) and I’ve see online posts before about the mobile chipsets being different than the desktop/PCI-(whatever) ones.
This was my first time using openSUSE Paste but I swear I unchecked the “Private” box. I can download the pastes without being logged into the site, and it seems that @arvidjaar also could. Maybe it’s been temporarily down like the reports in Is download.opensuse.org working today?
I’m on a zypper dup
to 20230521 (haven’t done 20230522 yet – just some apps in that one, plus the kernel’s been unchanged for the last 2 or 3 snapshots) with:
$ uname -a

and with:

Completely unrelated and unimportant: I’m guessing we have different $LC_ALL
environment variables (mine is unset) which is why your sort order in case-insensitive and mine is strict ASCII.
Possibly important: I have rpms which you don’t. Should I zypper rm
the “kernel-firmware-nvidia” package that probably came in with my nvidia experiments? I thought I’d removed them all but obviously not. I did manually remove some /etc/modprobe.d/*
files containing “blacklist nouveau” which the uninstall incorrectly left behind. (That problem threw me off for a day or two.)
And what about “libvdpau_nouveau” and “xf86-video-nouveau”? I installed the latter manually as one of my many desperate/random experiments to get this working. The “libvdpau_nouveau” came in with my initial Tumbleweed install of Snapshot20230420 and has been there ever since. But I also have “libvdpau1-1.5-1.5.x86_64”. Does your system (which works) have that one? Could it be conflicting with the “libvdpau_nouveau” on mine?
Thanks for your help, @mrmazda, and apologies if any of this has been excessive/irrelevant information.
