Thanks a bunch! I was getting a quite a sour first impression moving from Ubuntu to openSUSE because of this issue.

Thanks Jos,
your command works, the one from the article dosen’t. Very useful, yesterday I spent 1 hour trying to get vdpau to work, this solves the problem.

The commandline command should be:

sudo usermod -aG video USERNAME

According to my failed attempts 😀

Indeed a very important information. There is an OBS repository offering the Nvidia proprietary drivers for different openSUSE versions as well as Tumbleweed. Are the maintainers of both repositories collaborating tightly for allow users to update to the newer kernel releases?

I personally use the OBS repository and I think that Lord_LT (the maintainer of the repository) could need such a collaboration.

Thanks a lot for your contribution to make our beloved distribution the best of all.

openSUSE Linux is unbreakable. Have a lot of fun …
