nVidia 525 update problem

[Autodave]

I have been getting these updates forever it seems. They start to d-l and then it stops the same place every time. Always the same ones and they never install. I had these before I updated to the 535 driver, but still they persist. What can/should I do?

They are all 525 flatpak runtime packages. And, the install always stalls at the same place d-ling them.

org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-105-17
org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-116-04
org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-125-06
org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-78-01
org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-85-05
org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-89-02
org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-535-154-05
The 535 one appeared just today even though I upgraded to the 535 driver awhile ago.

Why keep so many?
You can remove them right?

flatpak remove org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-105-17
flatpak remove org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-116-04
flatpak remove org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-125-06
flatpak remove org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-78-01
flatpak remove org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-85-05
flatpak remove org.freedesktop.platform.GL.nvidia-525-89-02

now do a little House cleaning:

sudo flatpak repair

[Autodave]

I did that and we will see what happens. For anyone else that tries this, please note that the repair takes considerable time. Not sure what all goes on there, but I have a fast machine and extremely fast internet and it still took several minutes ti complete. When it started, it just kinda sat there like nothing at all was happening.

Did it update correctly after the repair?

flatpak update

[Autodave]

Dunno, so I ran it and this is what I got:
$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

What now?

[Autodave]

So far, so good.......

You need to find why these are outdated:

I'm on Arch today so mine will look different:

Kernel: 6.1.0-1034-oem x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: Cinnamon 5.6.8 tk: GTK 3.24.33
wm: muffin vt: 7 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.1 Vera base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

I think that the 6.1 kernel should be OK.

I had no problems at all other than it wanting to update those old drivers about once a week.
And when I would try to let the Update Manager do its thing, the d-l would start and then just
freeze at the same spot every time: d-l never finished.

So this is the OEM Kernel series on Mint? Not "Ubuntu" at all right? And you are asking about "Mint Updates" here, instead of on the Mint Forum?

I am confused by that...

[ajgreeny]

Moved to Mint Forum which is more appropriate for this problem.

Although based on Ubuntu, Mint is different in many ways.
