nvidia arch64 - 180.22 to 180.29 [API mismatch] fix

equilibrium · 2009-03-08 13:16:53

I did an upgrade of arch last night and am getting an error which seems to be caused by lib32-nvidia-utils being a different version to nvidia-utils.

 pacman -Q | grep nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils 180.22-1
nvidia 180.29-3
nvidia-utils 180.29-3

Error:

Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 180.29,
but this NVIDIA driver component has version 180.22.  Please make
sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
have the same version.

I sorted it out now by editing the lib32-nvidia-utils-beta package

pkgname=lib32-nvidia-utils-beta
pkgver=180.29
pkgrel=1.1
pkgdesc="NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries."
arch=(x86_64)

would it be better to rename the package?

I just thought that when I upgrade again arch is going to try to put on 180.35

I have no real solution for this but , I solved this by setting up a chroot, so now i have no need for lib32-nvidia-utils

(weee,first post!)

I guess you just had to remove the old module from memory and load the new one like this:

rmmod nvidia
modprobe nvidia

I give you kudos. I upgraded my drivers and got the same error.. but your tip here got me on track.
