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
