Today, (some of) the nvidia related things were upgraded to 375.26 (see below the details). However, nvidia-settings is still the Dec 2016 (not working) version: nvidia-settings --version nvidia-settings: version 367.57 (buildd@debian) Sun Dec 18 10:23:08 UTC 2016 The library libnvidia-gtk3.so has also not been upgraded : it is still /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57 which as I understand does not have the symbols that nvidia-settings needs.

I downloaded the version 375.26 from the nvidia site, and just extracted the files from the archive, without installing. The gtk3 library in this version has a lot more symbols than the debian installed 367.57 version: objdump -tT ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26/libnvidia-gtk3.so.375.26 |grep ctk|wc -l 259 objdump -tT /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57 |grep ctk|wc -l 21 A.o., the library downloaded from nvidia has the symbol ctk_init_check objdump -tT ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26/libnvidia-gtk3.so.375.26 |grep ctk_init_check 0002fb20 gDF .text 000a Basectk_init_check Running the below works ok : LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26 ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26/nvidia-settings Philippe

Rebuilding nvidia-settings from sid with no further changes in a jessie environment results in these lost symbols. I don't have much time to investigate this further right now over the holidays. Andreas
Bug#848893: nvidia-settings: When launching "nvidia-settings" -- "undefined symbol error"
Hi Andreas, I did some general looking/testing (I am a python/web coder but really don't know gtk directly but am able to test a few things): I did a file check: A. It looks like .nvidia-settings-rc does not get created when running 367.57 yet 375.26.1 does after launch. I did a library check: (seems to have an issue loading) B. Testing nvidia-settings using the library directly #nvidia-settings -I /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57 , results in the same error. I did a command line check: see if the nvidia-driver is working: C. Testing nvidia-smi, #nvidia-smi, the nvidia modules appear to load just fine so *it must be a gtk or library related issue under **/usr/lib/ possibly*. Looking at the sid branch: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-nvidia/nvidia-settings.git/diff/?h=upstream, it seems like there was quite a few changes to go though, That is something a little beyond my build experience. One Solution: As far as installing the driver 375.26.1 on Jessie like you suggested it all works fine (nvidia-settings) works fine.

I could reproduce this also with 375.26-1 by rebuilding it in jessie, while the packages in sid are fine. Need more time to investigate. Probably something is not linked in the correct order, causing some symbols to be lost. Help would be welcome. Andreas
