Looks like you updated the driver and didn’t reboot.

Facing same problem with exactly these driver versions on my server today. Didin’t update drivers. Looks like it updated yesterday automatically. Going to do this (How to prevent NVIDIA drivers from automatically upgrading on Ubuntu? - Stack Overflow) to prevent this in future.

Yeah i was shocked too, it was automatically updated and the mismatch was fixed. BTW thanks for the stack cheers.
