It seems that I have many errors in the journal

Good day,
I just hope I am typing this at the right place.

  1. this morning the screen stayed black when moving the mouse usually wakes it from sleep

I looked up journalctl and saw

  1. BIOS contains WGDS but no WRDS

  2. kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 470.129.06, but
    NVRM: this kernel module has the version 470.103.01. Please
    NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
    NVRM: components have the same version.

What should I do ?
Where can I post the nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file ?

Please use the upload button, horizontal line with upward arrow in the line of formatting options when writing a post.

I do not see any
horizontal line with upward arrow .

Sorry

I have re installed linux mint mate Una
on a barand new HP nvidia-bug-report.s
And, since, I found a way to upload the file «nvidia-bug-report.log.gz»
here they are :…
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (324.9 KB)
The older one was from May 23rd. the new one from now.

Thank you for keeping an eye on my evolution.
Regards
Roger

Since I was not able to upload 2 files as a new user ; here is the second one after a long 1 minute wait.

There doesn’t seem to be any issue, in neither bug-report.log. Maybe you just needed to reboot after an update.
Do you still experience any issues?

Well I now understand how NVIDIA driver metapackages affect my brain.
Seriously, I have just got another problem after I entered the recommended comamnd: sudo startx -- -logverbose 6
hoping to be able to have a better picture to show you.

I got stuck in a reboot-login loop.
And got out of it by
looking for a solution from another computer.

I had to press CTRL+ALT+F2
and make chown roger:roger .Xauthority
to be able to login decently.

I am now back to this forum to tell you that yes
I continuously see the same lines of errors at every reboot in the output of the command journalctl .

Many thank for persistence and patience.

Those errors are not in the nvidia-bug-report.log, the correct kernel driver and client libs are loaded. Use
journalctl -b0
to get the logs from the current boot.

b0.txt (208.3 KB)

Thank you for driving me around NVIDIA drivers.

Did the b0.txt file uploaded May 27th give any hint ?

No errors, all fine.

Thank you.
Is there something I can do about the errors I see in
dmesg.txt (85.2 KB)

Not really, all uefi firmwares are flawed more or less. In a perfect world, this would be fixed by a bios update but in the real world, nobody spends time/money on fixing stuff as long as it doesn’t break down completely.

I am told that BIOS is not used by Linux and that the kernel is used instead of Bios.

Is this a good assumption ?

Or is it a matter of UEFI ?
