December 16, 2019 | By the+gnu+linux+evangelist.

Installing

  1. 2. Enabling NVIDIA Repo

    Add NVIDIA Driver Repository for openSUSE GNU/Linux

    Enabling NVIDIA Driver Zypper Repo for openSUSE

    And with this Setup you get both the NVIDIA Legacy and 440.31+ Driver in the Newest CPUs.
    But to Check the NVIDIA Driver Version then Browse directly the Repo.

  2. 3. Finding Out Driver

    (Optional) This only if you are Uncertain about NVIDIA Model
    Simply trigger to Check if you dispose of a NVIDIA Card prior to the 600 Series:

    lspci | grep VGA

    Look in the Output to gather Info about the NVIDIA CPU powering your personal Computer.

    Then possibly first Verify what the Drivers Range supported by the Card.

    NVIDIA Linux Driver Searching

    Because at the Guide’s Pubblication Time that’s good but I’ll be unable to check it continuously…
    Next to Check which Driver is currently on the Zypper Repo run:

    zypper search nvidia | grep 0G

    The grep Command refine the output List showing only the entries Matching the Keyword.
    But if Not Available the Minimum required Release then see instead: How to Download and Install the Latest NVIDIA Generic Linux Driver!

  3. 4. Installing NVIDIA Driver

    Then to Install NVIDIA Driver in openSUSE
    Then for the Latest Driver release simply run:

    sudo zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG05

    Or with GPGPU Acceleration for CUDA:

    sudo zypper in nvidia-computeG05

    When for the Ancestor:

    sudo zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG04
