I updated from 42.2 to 42.3 but nvidia drivers 'wont work'/'dont load' with
4.4.85 kernel and thus plasma fails to load also.
"Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use OpenGL 2"
If i just reboot into kernel 4.4.79 everything is fine.
Checking further, i dont find nvidia.ko for the 4.4.85 kernel at all
Here are my repos:

ran make which succeeded and created nvidia.ko
insmod ./nvidia.ko also worked
so then i did make modules_install to install the nvidia.ko file for 4.4.85
kernel and rebooted
No Joy! nvidia.ko isnt being loaded yet it now exists at
/lib/modules/4.4.85-22-default/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
it also fails to load nvidia if i try to modprobe it (why does modprobe fail
but insmod succeed?):
# modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not find module by name='nvidia'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Function not implemented
This works => insmod
/lib/modules/4.4.85-22-default/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
I verified nouveau is NOT being loaded so thats not it
I'm stumped.
1: the driver should have been built and loaded auto-magically during the
upgrade.
2: after manually building it and verifying it 'can' load, why doesn't it load
on reboot?
