That's generally the case. Various library updates can only be used after ones in memory are purged, and a reboot can be the only way to achieve that. For certain module updates, they're not even a binary install. They're compiled on your computer. For thinks like akmods, that was somewhere in the boot-up process. I think some things, now, compile somewhere in the shutdown process before a reboot. Either way, there's a delay you need to wait for, and interrupting it causes some chaos. Made all the more harder by there being little indication on-screen what's going on, and some people will hard reset in the middle of things thinking the computer has crashed. > If that is the case, and that mismatch is causing the browser html 5 > game to think hardware acceleration is not available, how does anything > that requires hardware acceleration to function properly ever work after > an update?

Did you reboot after the dnf upgrade? It can take several minutes of background processing to prepare the nvidia drivers, so it is recommended to wait 5 minutes after running "dnf upgrade" before rebooting. If you boot before the nvidia drivers are installed the system may use the older nvidea drivers or fall back to nouveau (maybe depending on how far the update progressed before you rebooted). If you didn't reboot, the system should continue running the old nvidia drivers until you reboot. > I'm trying to understand why after doing the update a html 5 game > that requires hardware acceleration to run complained that hardware > acceleration was needed even though the browser was configured to use > hardware acceleration if available, but after a reboot the game then ran > fine in the browser. > You should check the version of the nvidea drivers you are currently using.

The kernel drivers no. They are most probably in use, for example by Xorg (if you use Xorg) and cannot thus be unloaded / reloaded. > I'm trying to understand why after doing the update a html 5 game > that requires hardware acceleration to run complained that hardware > acceleration was needed even though the browser was configured to use > hardware acceleration if available, but after a reboot the game then ran > fine in the browser. During the upgrade, the Xorg nvidia drivers may have been updated. Example: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglxserver_nvidia.so If your application start after the upgrade or dynamically link those drivers it may fail due to mismatched version with the kernel modules. You may see something like that in the journal: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 410.79, but NVRM: this kernel module has the version 415.25. Please NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver NVRM: components have the same version. -- francis ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
