Description Aaron Williams 2022-12-21 02:51:10 UTC

After recent changes the nVidia driver nvidia-gfxG06-kmp-default-525.60.11_k5.14.21_150400.22-lp154.15.2.x86_64 is installing broken symlinks in /lib/modules/5.14.21-150400.24.38-default/weak-updates/updates.
It is pointing to the old kernel /lib/modules/5.14.21-150400.22-default/updates/nvidia-drm.ko which does not exist. This is the RPMs.
I can manually install the drivers by going to the 
/usr/src/kernel-modules/nvidia-525.60.11-default directory and running make modules; make modules_innstall; depmod -a

The annoying part is I need to do this every single time there is a kernel update.

Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2022-12-31 22:26:35 UTC

This doesn't look that wrong. Indeed modules should be installed to /lib/modules/5.14.21-150400.22-default/updates/ and then symlinks pointing to these modules from current kernel tree.

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2023-01-02 14:36:15 UTC

Hmm. I couldn't reproduce this. I made a fresh Leap 15.4 installation, added nvidia repo and installed G06 packages. nvidia is active after a reboot. Then I also made the Kernel security update.

Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2023-01-02 14:38:59 UTC

Please run the same commands and post the results here. Maybe we can find this way the culprit.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2023-01-26 04:02:35 UTC

Any news on this one?

Comment 5 Aaron Williams 2023-01-26 07:54:55 UTC

I'll run this again with the next update. I recall still seeing the failure with the last update last week.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2023-02-23 20:39:50 UTC

We have another update online since Feb 13. Please give it a try.

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2023-03-11 10:13:49 UTC

Ok. Let's assume the issue is fixed now. Otherwise please reopen and run the same commands and post the results here as in comment#2.
