Description Ilya Bizyaev 2024-03-03 14:00:14 UTC 
SUMMARY

With Wayland becoming the default, I think it's going to be increasingly important for the developers to see which version of the proprietary NVIDIA driver the user has.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch KInfoCenter (or open the info page in System Settings).
2. Copy the details in English for a bug report.

OBSERVED RESULT

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070/PCIe/SSE2

EXPECTED RESULT

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070/PCIe/SSE2 (driver version: 545.29.06)


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240223
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel Version: 6.7.5-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Harald Sitter 2024-03-04 11:07:22 UTC 
Not a fan of this. What is the driver version for non-nvidia?
Comment 2 Ilya Bizyaev 2024-03-04 12:21:47 UTC 
That would be the Mesa version, which also sounds useful (also what inxi does)
Comment 3 Harald Sitter 2024-03-04 12:23:24 UTC 
Why the mesa version rather than the kernel module version?
Comment 4 Ilya Bizyaev 2024-03-04 12:41:49 UTC 
Isn't that already known from the kernel version?
Comment 5 Harald Sitter 2024-03-04 12:43:46 UTC 
Not necessarily. kernel modules can have versions too
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2024-03-05 19:45:36 UTC 
It's at least relevant for NVIDIA GPUs, and for non-NVIDIA I agree that the Mesa version is most relevant. If kernel modules could be relevant too, we could show both.
