Public bug reported:
It's possible to have the 375.39 version of the driver and 375.26
version of nvidia-settings installed at the same time. That can result
in a black screen with no graphics.
NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 375.39, but
Mar 21 10:36:01 behemoth kernel: [ 652.449795] NVRM: this kernel module has
the version 375.26. Please
Mar 21 10:36:01 behemoth kernel: [ 652.449795] NVRM: make sure that this
kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
Mar 21 10:36:01 behemoth kernel: [ 652.449795] NVRM: components have the same
version.
Version .39 is a security upgrade, so many people will install it
automatically, and those with the settings binary will subsequently
wonder why they are now losing their graphics, as I did. It will not be
obvious to non-technical users.
