nVidia Upgrade from 180.22 to 180.29

Yesterday during a pacman -Syu, nvidia drivers were upgraded from 180.22 to 180.29. Since then, I have lost the entry in System Tools for the nvidia-settigns panel. (I can run nvidia-settings from a command prompt and it sill comes up.) When running the nvidia-settings manually, the driver STILL shows 180.22 as the version. Updating ABS and looking at the PKGBUILD shows that 180.29 PKGBUILD still pulls 180.22 from nVidia. All of this is on my 32-bit laptop. There were no errors during the upgrade. I even "re-upgraded" and the problem remains.

At home on my 64-bit install, I got the same nVidia upgrade, but everything worked fine -- 180.29 version, and the control panel menu entry was not removed.

Has anyone else experienced this, or am I just losing my mind?

When running the nvidia-settings manually, the driver STILL shows 180.22 as the version.

If newest driver is indeed installed, just try to reboot (or you can unload and reload nvidia module to avoid rebooting).

Re: nVidia Upgrade from 180.22 to 180.29

just upgraded the nvidia driver.

The menu entry moved from Applications -> System Tools to System -> Preferences

It shows the 180.29 driver version for me
