Users ask for a step to step guide on how to upgrade NVIDIA drivers to the latest with cuda 11.4 support. If you have cuda 11.0 drivers, how to proceed?

Please assist.
1. Screenshot is outdated.
2. Latest `nvidia-driver-update` tool from recent Hive client versions can operate with 460, 465 and 470 drivers series in interactive mode. Also it's understood as from command line
`nvidia-driver-update 470` to install latest driver in 470 series for example or
`nvidia-driver-update 470.63.01` to install exact version number
it's already mentioned above https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2350786.msg57944391#msg57944391
3. Latest Beta image is already contains 470.63.01 (CUDA 11.4) drivers out from the box instead latest Stable which on 460.91.03 (CUDA 11.2)
4. Please note that CUDA 11.4 not supported Ubuntu 16.04 but used on old Hive OS images and which still used on many rigs. Next client version 0.6-211 will contain workaround for this and the same time will add CUDA 11.4 definition to `nvidia-driver-update` tool (currently drivers 470 series reffered by tool to CUDA 11.3)

or just for old version HiveOS system use in terminal "ssh" or in hiveos "run command" and past:


Code:
hive-replace -y --stable

DON'T STOP / OFF / SHUTDOWN WORKER OR RIG reboot will be done automatically after upgrade Wink


After automatically reboot check version and upgrade hiveOS last test version

For me is: 0.6-210@

Select: force update and reboot

after again reboot automatically after upgrade Wink

use in terminal "ssh" or in hiveos "run command" and past:

Code:
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -yuf

juste waiting 10/15 min...take coffe or chocolate Wink

after wait 15 min...

Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings xserver-xorg-core --allow-change-held-packages -y

And wait 2min and finish...ok => STOP RIG... waiting 1min...START RIG (don't use reboot is bad for for first detection hardware after upgrade...

Good luck for solo block and happy mining
