New subject: nvidia-powerd[11269]: No matching GPU found | Failed to initialize RM Client

6 Jun 2023


      New install of the Workstation and just installed the nVidia from the Software Center using NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver option and it did install the latest for my Card,
GeForce GTX 1660 VENTUS XS 6G OC: https://us.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-GTX-1660-VENTUS-XS-6G-OG
NVIDIA Driver Version: 530.41.03
NVML Version:12.530.41.03
...however I get this failure:
× nvidia-powerd.service - nvidia-powerd service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-powerd.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

...also there is another listed driver in the Software Center,
NVIDIA 470xx Linux Graphics Driver
is there a problem with the driver version I installed for my Card and need to down grade to this one?
