Issue
I was training models last night on my Ubuntu workstation, and then woke up this morning and saw this message:
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
Apparently the NVIDIA system driver automatically updated itself, and now I need to reboot the machine to use my GPUs... How do I prevent automatic updates from NVIDIA?
Solution
If this is because of unattended upgrades (likely), then you should add the NVIDIA drivers to it's blacklist. Add nvidia-
and libnvidia-
to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
like so:
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
"nvidia-";
"libnvidia-";
...
}
Consider adding additional lines if you see any other NVIDIA driver names in the output of apt list --installed | grep nv
