Hi,
Hi, I think i’ve got the same problem as Zypper update broke NVidia drivers I’m running Leap 15.6 and after un upgrade the gui no longer appears. I seem to have inconsistent nvidia issues:
Sep 11 23:01:25 BIGB kernel: nvidia 0000:41:00.0: Direct firmware load for nvidia/570.144/gsp_tu10x.bin failed with error -2ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00004100] Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDeviceERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00004100] Failed to register d
Sep 11 23:01:26 BIGB kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 580.82.07, but
What is the easiest way to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, welcome to these forums
First of all, please post output in pre-formatted text ( </> in the editor ). Makes it more readable.
Are you on a btrfs file system? If so, you could rollback to before the update.
What are your installed nvidia packages?zypper se -si -v nvidia
As @knurpht says, post it.

Hi,
Here is that section from the journalctl - I have the hole outptut as a file, but it seems too long to post here plane text.
Sep 11 23:01:32 BIGB kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 580.82.07, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 570.144. Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.

Here is the output from my rolledback and now working installed nvidia packages, but that is of little use.

Post execxuted as root:zypper up
If the paste is to big, use susepaste:zypper in -f susepaste
use it:zypper up -D -y | susepaste -e 131040paste.opensuse.org should be postet here.
zypper up = update your system

I would switch to the Nvidia-kmp from Nvidia Repo:
zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --auto-agree-with-licenses --from https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.6
Because highest Version of the open-kmp is:
nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default | Paket | 570.172.08_k6.4.0_150600.21-150600.3.56.2
but in the Repo is also the highest Version:
i+ | nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default | Paket | 580.82.07_k6.4.0_150600.21-lp156.39.1
After this, before you restart, post:zypper se -si nvidia

I am no expert in this area. But what strikes me is I think most of the NVIDIA packages (libnvidia-*, nvidia-gl-G06, nvidia-compute-G06, etc.) are coming from repo-non-free (15.6)
But the signed kernel module, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default (important for your kernel), is coming from update-sle (15.6)SLE (SUSE Linux Enterprise) update repository .
I wonder if mixing LEAP repos with SLE repos (in this case) can cause mismatched driver and kernel module versions?
You also have openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA installed from update-oss (15.6)— and I am asking myself, can it can pull in older or conflicting packages if multiple NVIDIA repos are enabled? I don’t know.
As opposed to using the nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default from SLE , is there instead a more compatible package under repo-no-free (15.6)? Something like: x11-video-nvidiaG06-kmp-default (possibly a different name). You may have to check the repos to get the precise name.
Before swaping the SLE " ... signed-kmp-default" package with any possible ... nvidiaG06-kmp-default from the repo-no-free(15.6) repository, ** I highly recommend you wait until those more knowledgeable than myself, on our forum, chime in. **

It shouldn’t, it is there by design. The repo setup is fine for 15.6.
This is the wrong kmp.
zypper in -f nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default
That should pull in the right kmp from Nvidia Repo and deinstall the one from the Update-Sle Repo.
