Latest Update Broke OpenCL

I have an nvidia card, and I just did a full system upgrade.

Normal nvidia graphics work just fine, but openCL is broken.

Running

clinfo

shows this:

Number of platforms                               0

Also, the output of nvidia-smi shows that everything is fine:

Re: Latest Update Broke OpenCL

I can confirm that downgrading to the 580 version from the AUR functions properly.

From what I can tell, my RTX 2070 should be supported from the latest drivers.

Is this a known bug?

Re: Latest Update Broke OpenCL

Check the system journal and lsmod and see whether nvidia_uvm loads.
Your GPU is supported by nvidia-open but I start to get a feeling that maybe CUDA isn't …

Re: Latest Update Broke OpenCL

I just updated the system and ended up with 1024x768 as only available resolution. During update I was asked to migrate (I guess?) from nvidia-dkms to nvidia-open-dkms and I agreed. nvidia 1060

EDIT: Maybe that happened cause nvidia-580xx was dropped to AUR? and my card doesn't support 590? But I didn't get 580 update option through yay..

It's not an "update", you've to switch the package.

Re: Latest Update Broke OpenCL

Got it, switched to AUR, all good. Dislike nvidia drivers and dislike nvidia drivers from AUR. haha

Thank you.
