Details

Description:

Updated nvidia from 535.98-4 to 535.104.05-1 and no initramfs build is triggered.

This caused issues such as Kodi not having any acceleration after a reboot and my CPUs screaming during playback.

Not sure if you want to consider triggering a rebuild, but thought I'd log this anyway.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
nvidia 535.104.05-1

* config and/or log files etc.
Having nvidia modules in mkinitcpio.conf

Steps to reproduce:

- Perform the upgrade, no initramfs rebuild occurs, reboot.

Workaround:

- mkinitcpio -P
- reboot
- No downgrade is necessary

Cheers.
This task depends upon

Thanks, but this looks basically the same as "upstream" ticket here [1] which should hopefully be fixed soon. I don't like to say it, but Nvidia users really need to be hyper-aware about initramfs rebuilds.
