systemd failing to load nvidia drivers since update to linux 6.0

[Karim Salama]

Hello,

I've recently upgraded the Linux kernel to 6.0 on my main machine and now some systemd units are failing to start during boot.
After looking into the error logs, here is what I have found :

sudo systemctl --failed
  UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● lightdm.service              loaded failed failed Light Display Manager
● nvidia-persistenced.service  loaded failed failed NVIDIA Persistence Daemon
● systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules
● virtualbox.service           loaded failed failed LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
4 loaded units listed.

So, I checked the errors for the systemd-modules-load.service and here is what I found :

sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
× systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

I've noticed that the nvidia-modprobe debian package for sid is currently at version 515 unlike all the other nvidia packages are at 510. Is this ok?

Thanks in advance,
Karim
