After upgrading to 460.56-1 (and rebooting), X11 failed to start (the intial error was failure of lightdm to start). After downgrading to 460.39-8, it worked again. Apart from this particular downgrade, all packages are in sync w/ stable Additional info: * package version(s) 460.56-1 * config and/or log files etc. X-log: ``` 5.781] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the 5.781] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages and ``` lspci: ``` 07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GL [Quadro K1200] (rev a2) ``` * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: - install nvidia 460.56-1 - reboot |
This task depends upon
Do it fail using linux-lts (5.10.18-1) and nvidia-lts (460.56-1) too?
With the given info it looks a partial upgrade, you say "upgrading" and "downgrading" only "nvidia" without mention "linux", but we have by [1]:
nvidia 460.39-8 for linux 5.10.16.arch1-1
nvidia 460.56-1 for linux 5.11.1.arch1-1

yes - I always keep all installed packages in sync w/ stable (pacman -Syu), no exceptions (until today)

that I did not check. After downgrading packages nvidia (and nvidia-utils) it worked again, so I stopped further investigations.

to repair my machine, I looked into /var/cache/pacman/pkg, and looked for the greatest nvidia(-utils) packages before the broken one I received today. This happened to be 460.39-8.
with "upgrading to 460.56-1", I did not mean I upgraded this single package. It happened to be part of an update I received from my daily `pacman -Syu`. Sorry for the confusion.
Will try linux-lts
not sure. If this is not the "default" behaviour, probably now. I did not explicitly rebuild the initramfs, though. How can I check this?
For the past ~2y, I basically ran (almost) daily full system-upgrades w/o any issues, so I did not yet spend that much time with those details (for the initial installation, I mostly followed the recommendations from arch-wiki).
will check / test right away. So probably, there is no issue w/ the package, but I forgot to add the initramfs-hook
