Plasma tells me to update the Nvidia drivers to 430. Yast’s Online Update doesn’t show the new driver, though the files are visible in Software/Software Management.
I hope someone can tell me why the two methods do not agree.
Install through Yast Software Management.
Yast online update only works for patches. A patch is a special kind of file with update directions. And typically the updated version goes in a separate “update” repo.
The main openSUSE repos use patches for updating. But most other repos don’t. So you need a different method of updating from those repos.
Many people find running “zypper up” at a root command line is a good way of handling those updates. Or you can use the update applet in the system tray.
Thank you. It’s great when an answer clarifies the situation completely.
