nvidia-drivers-G06 from NVIDIA repo still lacks 570 version. I’ve downgraded all NVIDIA components to 550 on the last kernel update, now with kernel longterm 6.12.13 there’s only kernel module for 570, still there’s no version 570 on nvidia-drivers. It’s not available for default kernel aswell.
NVIDIA GPU won’t work on kernel 6.12.13 as result.
I know NVIDIA repository is not managed by OpenSuse, but i’d like to let the community aware.
However, since the open module nvidia-open-driver-* is managed by OpenSuse, which also has no 550 version, it could be released.
nvidia-drivers-G06 is a metapackage for the v550 series. As explained in the relevant bugreport, there won’t be a metapackage for the v570 series and onwards (it is not really needed …).
The rest of your description is quite confusing as it lacks proper package names and versions and mixes several stuff.
I’m seeing both / lots in via YAST - Repos Section. I have also switch from 550 to 570 (when it was beta) back to 550 and then back up to 570.124 when it became recommended which I did via a Zypper DUP upgrade as it seemed to want ot do this even though my 550 drivers were locked. So I unlocked them and then it all went through smoothly and working fine here now on Gnome Desktop.
@JoseskVolpe, run with the open driver, which going forward is the one to use, older cards will fall into the Legacy category.
I was already using the open module before, which also wasn’t working, tried the proprietary module in an attempt to check if it works, but also won’t.
I’m rolling fast on Tumbleweed and Kernel Linux 6.13.4-1-default. Looks like you are on Slow roll and you mentioned 6.12.13 so I’m guessing it might be something to do with that? Perhaps someone who is more knowledgeable about these things might know. Also I’m on Gnome, but have seen some others having issues with KDE desktop & Nvidia/Wayland sessions.
There’s no 570.124.04 version for nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-cuda-kmp-longterm and relatives on update-slowroll repository, and there’s no slowroll repository from NVIDIA so i’m using tumbleweed repository, so i’m sticking to the proprietary nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-longterm. NVIDIA also lacks 570.86.15 version which is available on update-slowroll.
Since the metapackage nvidia-drivers-G06 is no longer mantained, i suggest NVIDIA to remove it and replace with nvidia-common-G06.
@JoseskVolpe I suspect it’s more likely driver misconfiguration, you need to look at using the Nvidia driver to handle Mesa Vulkan. Use nvtop to see if compute is being used or compute/graphics on the gpu’s. My experience with AMD/Nvidia has been abismal for performance with the drivers fighting each other…
You just need to see what is using what to configure…
