Talk:NVIDIA/Problems with 1-click install

From openSUSE

"Corrections" like this:

These 1-Click-Installs still somehow point to the old NVIDIA drivers compile against kernel-source-2.6.22.13-0.3
To get the latest NVIDIA drivers compiled agains kernel-source-2.6.22.17-0.1, manually download the appropriate files from ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3/
This currently does not work for:
  • 9800 GT (nVidia Corporation Device 0605)
See the hard way or wait until the click once installer is updated.

doesn't help much to resolve problems. It can be given with good intentions, but it doesn't give a hint how error happened and there is no way to correct it. Workarounds and reports like this defeat the purpose of 1-Click install, ie. simple installation.

Quick check of 1-Click files showed that they point to the proper repository http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3/ which is the same that correction notice points to, and there is no pointer to specific files, so error is not in the link, but elsewhere.
