[SOLVED] Nvidia 440.100 API mismatch

Hi I just updated the nvidia drivers

 uname - Linux 5.7.5-arch1-1  x86_64 GNU/Linux
[2020-06-26T10:04:39+0200] [ALPM] upgraded nvidia-utils (440.82-2 -> 440.100-1)

Now i have this error in dmesg

NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 440.100, 
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 440.82.  
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA 
NVRM: components have the same version.

How do i proceed? Cheers.

Sounds like you've done a partial update. Please elaborate on how you updated, and post your complete pacman.log.

Did you restart X without having rebooted?

I've done nothing other than updating. I wanted to seek help before proceeding, and I'd rather roll back than fail a reboot...

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia 440.100 API mismatch

That's the problem, you need to reboot, or at least reload the nvidia module. The nvidia kernel module is tightly coupled with the correct userspace version, when a new nvidia update happens you need to get the kernel version and the userspace libs back in sync, which is easiest done by rebooting, or completely stopping X and reloading the new nvidia module.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia 440.100 API mismatch

I just had a similar problem and rebooting didn't fix it - I realised I had the nvidia modules in my initrd, and I didn't rebuild it after updating just the nvidia module. If that's the case for you, run

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

and reboot to fix the wrong module version in initrd.

Huh. I've never had Alacritty fail starting after an update like that before, which was how I noticed the error and hence why I thought something was up. Other GUI programs could open up fine... Time to switch to urxvt i guess.

Solved by rebooting.

Appreciate the help. Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia 440.100 API mismatch

Anything that requires a working OpenGL/acceleration context will fail or at least fall back to slow software rendering, technically it's rather when a new nvidia-utils version get's released, normal nvidia package updates that are due to a kernel resync aren't that much of an issue as the actual nvidia versions between the two will still match.

Rule of thumb, if the version before the "-"  changes you are likely going to have to reboot. If it's just the pkgrel which comes after the dash you likely don't need to actively do much, which denotes a potentially harmless packaging adjustment or rebuilds of the same version against new kernels
