TW, Bumblebee, NVIDIA 325.15

English Install/Boot/Login

Where according to this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/489430-dkms-bumblebee-not-working-after-overman79-updates-applied.html the packages for 12.3 have been fixed, it looks like the TW packages need a bit more. Getting exactly the same results when attempting to install (and build) the NVIDIA driver, where manually running the downloaded install .run does work.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Well, here’s sort of a workaround to get the NVIDIA driver installed, have to test more to see what’s going on and to verify that it’s indeed working:


cd /usr/src/
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15.run --no-x-check --no-opengl-files

answered all the questions with defaults, and basic testing now reports
