Bug 1217370

To explain the problem.

The config file is in the kmp package, without a version in its filename.

the kmp is multiversioned, so multiple instances can exist on the system.

As long as the config file does not change its content, this is acceptable by zypper.

As we have now changed the config file, it no longer is.

Ideas:

- Ignore problem ... but customers would see above conflict and would need to accept it.

- seperate config file package? as also the firmware is multiversioned it cant be in firmware package either.

  might be cleanest?

- encode the version in the config file filename, due to sorting the later ones would overwrite the older ones?

Nothing really trivial.

I'm afraid there is no good solution. I guess I should just rename the config file to resolve the conflict, which then possibly breaks the older driver of course. Hopefully it's no longer been used by booting an older kernel, but well then it's the wrong user space driver version anyway.

Note for myself.

I may need to set 

  options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=0

in the new config file (which I currently no longer set at all) to overwrite the setting of the old config file. I've seen reports where the new driver breaks completely with this being enabled. I need to check this first.

Same issue on 15-SP5 update https://build.suse.de/request/show/312830
Should I open separate bug or is this good enough ?

Detected 1 file conflict:

No need to open another report. Fix will be the same and I will submit it for both - SP4 and SP5.

Fixed with these changes:

- no longer try to overwrite NVreg_OpenRMEnableSupporteGpus driver
  option setting; apparently it's ignored by the driver (boo#1215981,
  comment#26)

- use different modprobe.d config file to resolve conflict with
  older driver package (boo#1217370); overwrite 
  NVreg_OpenRMEnableSupporteGpus driver option setting (disable it),
  since letting it enabled is supposed to break booting (boo#1215981, 
  comment#23)

Just submitted to factory/TW, sle15-sp5 and sle15-sp4. Closing.
