An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

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.
