Speaking of nvidia and akmods, I just had an issue this morning.  On my
server I'm using nvidia proprietary driver from rpmfusion.  Apparently it
was updated (automatically) last night and when I tried to run experiments
on the gpu this morning I got the dreaded version mismatch between the
kernel driver and cuda library (or something).

I tried rebooting but that didn't fix the issue.

I tried running akmods manually but it didn't find anything to build.  The
man page for akmods was unhelpful, and looking in /lib/modules wasn't
useful because you can't see the version numbers on the modules to see that
everything is updated.

Finally I tried rebooting a 2nd time on the theory that the akmod got run
and the driver built on the first reboot, but too late - the old driver had
already loaded.

Surprise, that worked.  So what's going on?  It looks like akmod is run too
late and  2 reboots are needed to get the new driver built and loaded?

I checked
sudo systemctl status akmods
● akmods.service - Builds and install new kmods from akmod packages
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/akmods.service; enabled;

Any ideas?
