there is no package providing 'kernel-default-devel = 5.14.21-150500.55.22' needed by installing nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.157_k5.14.21_150500.55.22-lp156.33.4.x86_64

     [ ] do not install nvidia-glG04-390.157-lp156.33.1.x86_64

     [ ] break 'nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.157_k5.14.21_150500.55.22-lp156.33.4.x86_64' by ignoring some dependencies

This will get fixed for the next driver package update. Probably released still end of this week or early next week.

- during beta period of sle15-sp6 no longer try to require a "GA"
  kernel-devel package; this will be reverted with GM (bsc#1208209,
  bsc#1216757)
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2023-10-31 16:05:00 UTC 
therefore closing as fixed.
Comment 3 Stefan Dirsch 2023-10-31 17:59:06 UTC 
Unfortunately things are more complicated. Meanwhile we've updated our kernel for Leap 15.6 to 6.4 (with patches from 6.5). And G04 no longer builds against this kernel version. Possibly I can find a patch. But first I need to fix the G05 build, which also got broken by the kernel update. By the way, any reason why you're still relying on G04? This driver is already End-Of-Life.
Comment 4 Andre Verwijs 2023-11-01 14:40:18 UTC 
still using older graphic card with supports G04 driver ....
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2023-11-01 16:22:41 UTC 
I digged deeper into this. It's nightmare to support this G04 driver still for Kernels >= 6.5!

G05 still supports down to GeForce 600 (Kepler), which is from 2012. Seems you have Fermi/2011 or even older. Mabye it's time to update your gfx card (possibly also your machine) after more than 12 years ... 

As said 390.x is end-of-life, i.e. support for newer kernels and also critical/security fixes (since end of 2022).

I think I can't support any longer G04 for Leap 15.6. For Tumbleweed it's most likely the same.
