Driver/library version mismatch after 535.154.05 release in RPM repo

Graphics / Linux Linux

Apparently after the 535.154.05 driver release in the RPM repo Index of /compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64 for EL8, driver installation on Rocky Linux 8 results in a broken installation with version mismatches.

We install automatically through kickstart files and
dnf module install -y nvidia-driver:535/ks --nobest

But it seems that no appropriate kmod-nvidia package is available in the repo and a mix-up with versions is the result rendering the installation unusable. If we leave out the --nobest option from the dnf command, the installation just fails.

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks

Same problem on Ubuntu 20.04. I didnt touch the driver. it must have updated itself…
$ nvidia-smi
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
NVML library version: 535.154

Already rebooted? Do you have unattended updates enabled in ubuntu?

Yes and that fixed it. Updates now turned off. Very annoying,
