Nvidia-utils 195.36.08-1 and OpenCL

I just installed the new nvidia drivers 195.36.08-1 (x86_64) in which OpenCL libraries and headers seems to be included, however they are not installed by the current PKGBUILD, any particular reason for that?

no reason.

Nvidia & nvidia-utils upgrade breaks X

Yesterday I upgraded nvidia and nvidia-utils (nvidia-185.18.31-1 & nvidia-utils-185.18.31-1) and it caused X to fail on next boot. (I've downgraded for now).
In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log it gave an error that told me to go look in the kernel log (If you want the exact message, I'd have to upgrade again and try to boot. Because of the logrotate, I guess.)
this is what I found in /var/log/kernel.log
Aug 1 10:31:26 kasparov kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 185.18.31, but
Aug 1 10:31:26 kasparov kernel: NVRM: this kernel module has the version 185.18.14. Please
Aug 1 10:31:26 kasparov kernel: NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
Aug 1 10:31:26 kasparov kernel: NVRM: components have the same version.
Anyone have any ideas?

I ran into this breakage today and simply rebuilding nvidia-utils and nvidia from ABS didn't do the trick. The symptom on my Toshiba Tecra M3 laptop (2005 vintage, Pentium M, Nvidia Geforce Go 6200/6600 video) is that X hangs completely with a blank screen. Nothing works and I have to force an ACPI shutdown by holding down the power button.
I tried various versions of Nvidia and downgrading xorg-server all to no avail until, as a desperation shot, I tried the beta Nvidia drivers 190.18. That seems to have done the trick. Just posting about it here in case there's anyone else in the same boat (i.e. rebuilding the release drivers doesn't work).

Two GPUs, two purposes - libgl and nvidia-utils conflict - lib32-libgl

Hi all!
After realizing there is no way (by now) to perform a vgs switch (between integrated Intel and discrete Nvidia GPUs) using nvidia propertary driver (as I read, the only one supporting gpgpu with cuda/openCL), I wondered if there is a way of letting them co-exist: graphics on the integrated one and applications on the nvidia. After all, I might not need to be using the discrete card for the video if I want to use it for other purposes.
Obeviously, the tho drivers conficlt (nvidia-utils conflicts with libgl), but in this post a workaround is suggested.
Thing is, also lib32-nvidia-utils and lib32-libgl (Skype depends on it) conflict, so I thought I could just extend the suggestion, but I couldn't find lib32-libgl's pkgbuild. Where can I find it? If it doesn't exist at all, is there a way I can workaround?
By the way, why aren't libgl and lib32-libgl on abs? In what way are they different from the others?
There is libgl-git in AUR, but I couldn't find the 32-bit version.
Do you think I have a chanche it'll work?
Thanks a lot

So you think it'll never work :sad:
Actually, it is working now. It's a recent development posted in the mailing lists, but the solution came up yesterday and tests have been positive so far. It's confirmed to work in at least two Optimus machines.
Progress is being posted in the mailing lists, but the author, Martin Juhl, is also blogging it. I'll just sum up what the solution: It resorts to turbojpeg VirtualGL and two xorgs. The intel card does everything, and apps meant to use the nvidia are specifically run with vglrun.
Unfortunately, the solution removes hardware acceleration in the intel card (immediately noticeable by the absence of desktop effects). In arch that translates the libgl / nvidia-utils conflict.
intel-dri demands libgl.
xf86-video-intel demands intel-dri.
In order to install nvidia + nvidia-utils in Arch, without removing intel-dri and xf86-video-intel, you have to:
# pacman -Sd nvidia nvidia-utils
This will still remove libgl, though.
Now THAT is just cool... would make optimus laptops so much more useful if/when it works reasonably well. Sounds like quite a bit of hackery involved though.

Clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils

I'm getting a clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils when upgrading. The error is:
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.1 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
/usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.260.19.29 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
Anyone else getting this problem?

No, I've been upgrading daily. I've experienced this sort of error before, but the clash has always been with existing files (usually after not upgrading for a while), not between two packages. Uninstalling, -Syu and reinstall didn't work, I still get the error. I had a look at the .pkg.tar.gz, and it really does contain those files, so it looks like a packaging error.

That might be your best bet. I thought I had an even older version in my cache, but unfortunately I must have deleted it a few days ago. Sorry.
Edit: Did you by chance upgrade your kernel, too? A few times I've had trouble when upgrading the kernel. Try reinstalling (perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling) the nvidia drivers, or try "modprobe nvidia" as root. Hopefully one of them will do it for you. But then again, if you're not getting errors from X and you just have a black screen, I doubt either of those will do it.
Good luck.

I've read threads on this before but this time nvidia-utils is being asked to be removed. I'm not sure if removing nvidia-utils is safe. Before, reading some threads on here, I had to set libgl to ignore to get nvidia-utils to install.
Thanks.

Nvidia-utils help

Hello,
My current setup requires me to run the latest nvidia drivers. I have downloaded and installed them from nvidia's website and have been running without issue. My problem is that the 'nvidia-utils' package now wants to be upgraded, and the upgrade wants to install files that are already installed from the stock nvidia driver.
When I try to upgrade I get the following error:
(435/435) checking for file conflicts [#####################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Is the nvida-utils package required by other packages? If so, how can I tell? I looked here: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … dia-utils/ and it says that it is only required by the 'nvidia' package....
Can this be safely removed?

> Is there a way to tell if nvidia-utils is a dependency for other packages installed on my sytem?
Sure: 'pacman -Qi nvidia-utils | grep Required'. If you get "Required By : None" then pacman know of no deps.
You can also 'pacman -Rs nvidia-utils' and pacman either will remove the package and all the other unneeded packages or will tell you that some package needs nvidia-utils.
> It's best not to install without pacman.
+1 The nVidia webpage will tell which ones you need for your card, but you use install the drivers via pacman.

Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

Hello PRE8 users,
If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
Best regards,
Chad
For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:

Up here I copied and posted my PC's spec's. Since upgrading to the new driver, my problems increased. I seem to experience more crashes than before. Happens randomly and I can not see a pattern.   (I have noticed dragging clips from one area to another on the time line is no-no)

Not a big deal, tried to stop X and remove nvidia module but had to move or remove this file
/usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
to somewhere.
And upgrade of nvidia-utils finished fine then.

Same happened to me.
I never installed anything manually, and I also had that issue.
So the explanation given in the link I gave above is more probable, at least in my case.
Otherwise, simply removing the conflicting file is in my opinion the easiest and safest way.

Xorg won't start after upgrading nvidia-utils

Today I did a pacman -Syu , it wanted to upgrade nvidia-utils, I said yes and it told me it would remove nvidia package as it conflict with, so I let it remove nvidia pakage.
Then Xorg didn't wanted to start. I reinstalled nvidia and received the following error:
Error: API mismatch: The NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-8178, but this X module has the version 1.0-8762
Please make sure kernel module and all Nvidia components have the same version
Then I removed nvidia and nvidia-utils and reinstalled them, now I receive the following error when trying to start Xorg:
Fatal: could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.16.18-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
Failed to load nvidia kernel module!
How do I fix this? I'm using my own compiled kernel version (2.6.16.18) and Xorg worked find before doing pacman -Syu and updating nvidia-utils.

If you use a custom kernel, you'll need to compile your own nvidia modules: http://www.archlinux.org/news.php#238

Nvidia-utils: missing dependency [solved]

Fresh Arch installation to a friend's laptop (ftp installation). After installing xorg, nvidia and KDE, I run
nvidia-settings
and got that:
$ nvidia-settings
nvidia-settings: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Obviously a simple
pacman -Sy gtk2
fixed the issue, but equally obviously the package dependencies should be fixed.

nvidia-utils does not depend on gtk2. This is dependency only for nvidia-settings, and not required for the rest of nvidia-utils package.
You just didn't notice this message when installing nvidia-utils:
By using this package you accept the NVIDIA license,
which has been installed in /usr/share/licenses/nvidia/LICENSE
If you do not accept this license, you must remove the package immediately.
Dont forget to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In order to use nvidia-settings, you need to install 'gtk2' package.
