Now we have the version number, Nvidia stores its driver in the following way - XXX.XX/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64- XXX.XX.run By knowing both the above we can download the old driver to uninstall correctly. We need to temporarily disable desktop manager ( if you ar running kdm that updated the below command with kdm ): # modinfo nvidia version: 331.11 In any case if you are not familiar in Terminal/SSH I recommend contacting a professional to to this. This guide is intended to be executed over SSH, As you are required to disable the GUI and some users may not be very comfortable.
To avoid problems I have resorted to simply removing the old driver first every time and since then I have never encountered an issue. There are times when I have tried to simply upgrade and gotten the # failed to initialize nvml driver/library version mismatchĪfter installing and there are instances where simply installing the new driver has worked. Simply just installing a new driver on linux does not work 100% of the time, A best practise would be to completely remove the old driver first to prevent conflicts and issues.
