Do i need other *G06* packages ? I did not install them.

NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GTX 660M]

The first may have been recommended because you have unneeded G06 firmware installed.

The second would be recommended if you have installed onto BTRFS as the installer defaults.

The third I have no idea why. If you know what "fast packet processing" or "Data Plane Development Kit" are, that may suggest why.

Zypper lu makes no similar suggestion here.

Thank you, removing G06 firmware solved the problem.

No BTRFS here.

I don't know what "fast packet processing" or "Data Plane Development Kit" is.
