<summary>Recommended update for kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed</summary>
<description>This update for kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed fixes the following issues:
Changes in kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06:
- Update to 550.100 (bsc#1227575)
- Add a second flavor to be used by the kernel module versions
used by CUDA. The firmware targetting CUDA contains '-cuda' in
its name to track its versions separately from the graphics
firmware. (bsc#1227417)
Changes in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed:
- Update to 550.100 (bsc#1227575)
* Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL triple buffering to behave like
double buffering.
- To avoid issues with missing dependencies when no CUDA repo
is present make the dependecy to nvidia-compute-G06 conditional.
- CUDA is not available for Tumbleweed, exclude the build of the
cuda flavor.
- preamble: let the -cuda flavor KMP require the -cuda flavor
firmware
- Add a second flavor for building the kernel module versions
used by CUDA. The kmp targetting CUDA contains '-cuda' in
its name to track its versions separately from the graphics
kmp. (bsc#1227417)
- Provide the meta package nv-prefer-signed-open-driver to
make sure the latest available SUSE-build open driver is
installed - independent of the latest available open driver
version in he CUDA repository.
Rationale:
The package cuda-runtime provides the link between CUDA and
the kernel driver version through a
Requires: cuda-drivers >= %version
This implies that a CUDA version will run withany kernel driver
version equal or higher than a base version.
nvidia-compute-G06 provides the glue layer between CUDA and
a specific version of he kernel driver both by providing
a set of base libraries and by requiring a specific kernel
version. 'cuda-drivers' (provided by nvidia-compute-utils-G06)
requires an unversioned nvidia-compute-G06. With this, the
resolver will install the latest available and applicable
nvidia-compute-G06.
nv-prefer-signed-open-driver then represents the latest available
open driver version and restricts the nvidia-compute-G06 version
to it. (bsc#1227419)
