Speaking of nvidia and akmods, I just had an issue this morning. On my server I'm using nvidia proprietary driver from rpmfusion. Apparently it was updated (automatically) last night and when I tried to run experiments on the gpu this morning I got the dreaded version mismatch between the kernel driver and cuda library (or something).
I tried rebooting but that didn't fix the issue.
I tried running akmods manually but it didn't find anything to build. The man page for akmods was unhelpful, and looking in /lib/modules wasn't useful because you can't see the version numbers on the modules to see that everything is updated.
Finally I tried rebooting a 2nd time on the theory that the akmod got run and the driver built on the first reboot, but too late - the old driver had already loaded.
Surprise, that worked. So what's going on? It looks like akmod is run too late and 2 reboots are needed to get the new driver built and loaded?
I checked
sudo systemctl status akmods

Any ideas?
