PCIe-6341 under openSUSE Leap 15.0 with DAQmx 18.1 - Fails to load Dev1 with error -50528

[jacco]

Dear all,

I'm new to this forum, so I'm sorry if I missed something obvious. I'm trying to get a PCIe-6341 to work under openSUSE Leap 15.0. I'm using the 

https://download.ni.com/ni-linux-desktop/2018.07/rpm/ni/Leap42.3 repository. That seems to work (installs/updates without errors), but I get a "Failed to Load" error when trying to use a PCIe-6341 card (see nilsdev output below). The too new SuSE version might be the problem, but I'd like to know what this '-50258' error means before I go through the hassle of installing (a soon to be obsolete) older linux os.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!
Jacco

I'd bet the kernel modules have failed to load.  Does 'lsmod' show any loaded NI drivers?

[jacco]

Thanks for the reply. If anything there are way too many NI drivers, see below.

Yep, color me wrong on that guess!

[jacco]

FWIW, I did install openSUSE Leap 42.3 on another partition in this system and that did 'solve' the issue. It's still not clear what the actual problem is under Leap 15.0 though.
