NVIDIA 610 drivers - options? (not the sync issue)

The sync issue has been fixed and we now have 595.91.

However, I am interested in running the 610 drivers. From my understanding, tumbleweed targets the production branch rather than the new feature branch. The cuda repos contain the 610 drivers, but only the 64 bit one, whereas Steam needs the 32 bit libraries too.

I've heard of folks installing it through the NVIDIA .run files, but I'm also a bit hesitant to mess up my system this way since AFAIK those install the driver in /usr, which isn't backed up by snapshots.

To those who used the .run method: have you run into issues? How do you usually update? Is it possible to cleanly uninstall them if things go wrong? Do you need to .run again on new kernel versions? Etc..

Thanks!

RTX 3000 series users and KDE Plasma crashing when adding widgets to panel - can anyone please confirm?

Hello!

I installed Tumbleweed on my desktop after almost a year of happily using it on my laptop. My desktop has a Ryzen 3600 and a 3060 Ti

When I edit my panel configuration and drag a widget to the panel, more often than not, Plasma ends up freezing and/or crashing. I managed to find some maybe relevant links:

https://reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1it8n6t/quick_tip_if_youre_having_difficulty_adding/

https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1pgszrc/an_appeal_to_the_kde_devs_about_stability_issues/ (someone in the comments mentioned this specific problem)

https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-dist%40kde.org/msg1141905.html?

I couldn't find too many sources though. I don't have this issue at all on my laptop (with an Intel iGPU)

When check logs, there are plenty of errors, but I think this is an interesting relevant line:

~ ❯ journalctl --user -b | grep -Ei "plasma|plasmashell|kwin|kcrash|segfault|drkonqi"

qrc:/qt/qml/plasma/applet/org/kde/panel/main.qml:101: TypeError: Cannot read property 'index' of null
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/ksysguard/faces/Choices.qml:206:33: Unable to assign [undefined] to QColor

So it is indeed some Qt related bug, I think?


~ ❯ plasmashell --version

plasmashell 6.7.1

I'm on the G07 drivers.


Is anyone else able to replicate this? Or has anyone found some fix for this?

Thank you! :)
