Solution: download an earlier version of the LM Studio AppImage.

Or 0.4.6-1, which works better for me.

I recently bought a new computer, and, after again trying Windows 11 for a bit, I decided I wanted to keep using OpenSUSE.

Probably unpopular here: I enjoy screwing around with local LLM models. I used LM Studio on my old computer (on which I had also installed OpenSUSE Leap). I also tested it on my new computer in Windows 11, and it worked very nicely. Now I’m trying on my new computer with OpenSUSE Leap 16, and it doesn’t work at all.

Specifically: no runtimes nor engines are present, and my hardware isn’t recognised at all - not my GPU nor my CPU, nothing.

I’m thinking it’s a driver issue. I’ve looked around quite a bit, and also looked up (what seems to me) the most important error messages I got when running the AppImage from the console:

This is my system with installed drivers:

I did get Ollama to work... Any thoughts?

I know this issue, I had a similer issue trying to get the client for krunker.io working with my nvidia gpu. I might have the solution saved somewhere, this comment is so I can remind myself to check.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
