[solved] Nvidia driver stopped working

Yesterday i updated the nvidia driver to a newer version.
since then my system has been feeling very sluggish so i finally was like Why is this happening?
so the first thing i tried was putting "nvidia-smi" in the terminal this was my output:

nvidia-smi                                                 
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

meaning the nvidia driver isnt even working and using my graphics card, i suspect it was because of yesterdays nvidia update.

ill provide more information if needed.

Re: [solved] Nvidia driver stopped working

What nvidia packages are installed?

pacman -Qs nvidia

If the system update contained a kernel update did you reboot the system?

Re: [solved] Nvidia driver stopped working

What is the output of the following:

systool -vm nvidia
modinfo nvidia
dmesg

Please use code tags.  Also the contents of xorg.log.

Re: [solved] Nvidia driver stopped working

systool shows version 495.44 is loaded while the userspace tools are 495.46
xorg.log is for 5.14.12-arch1-1 so not the current log.  Lets ignore that for now.
I can not retrieve the dmesg output from ix.io.  Lets ignore that as well for now.

See if there if there are multiple versions of the nvidia module installed.

find /usr/lib/modules -name 'nvidia.ko*'

Re: [solved] Nvidia driver stopped working

Yes,  if you have not automated it,  such as with NVIDIA#pacman_hook.
