Build Identifier: 

Leap kernel was updated to 4.1.13 but drivers in Nvidia repo are still for 4.1.12. Could you ask NVidia to update it, please?:)

Reproducible: Always

Daniel, could you look into this please?
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2016-01-24 22:06:28 UTC 
1. There is no need to update unless we broke the kABI (SUSE weak-updates mechanism). So most likely this is a non-issue.
2. First NVIDIA needs to look into boo#954725.
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2016-01-24 22:08:53 UTC 
Jaroslav, please explain, why you think this is an issue. Thanks.
Comment 4 Jaroslav Kameník 2016-01-25 12:57:54 UTC 
Because nvidia driver stopped working after kernel upgrade, I had to use drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html . I hoped I could switch back with new version in nvidia repo.
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2016-01-25 13:26:42 UTC 
Ok. Let's first resolve bnc#954725. I'm not convincet yet we really broke the kABI.
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2016-01-26 11:05:47 UTC 
bnc#954725 has been fixed. Could you please update the NVIDIA repo and reinstall the NVIDIA drivers? Thanks! Basically, with zypper:


# add/reenable the nvidia repo
zypper ref <your nvidia repo>
zypper inr -r <your nvidia repo>
Comment 7 Jaroslav Kameník 2016-01-26 11:26:50 UTC 
> zypper inr -r download.nvidia.com-leap

Zypper complains, that file 

'./x86_64/nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default-340.93_k4.1.12_1-36.7.x86_64.rpm'

is now found at media

'http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.1'
Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2016-01-26 11:39:28 UTC 
Ok. Seems repodate/repomd.xml* files have not been updated yet. :-(
Comment 9 Jaroslav Kameník 2016-01-27 07:45:55 UTC 
I tried it on two PCs, first had last kernel and drivers from nvidia, second old kernel and old drivers from repo until now (both upgraded now). Both are working well after reboot, nvidia drivers are running, so it seems kABI is ok and real problem was those second bug. Thanx for help:).
Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2016-01-27 09:28:10 UTC 
Ok. Closing as duplicate. Thanks for retesting!
