Description
I updated Debian 12 to find the NVENC encoder doesn't work in jelly fin anymore despite the jelly-fin container reporting the driver version and CUDA version in NVIDIA-smi. I've included the NVIDIA container toolkit stuff but I don't really see anything obvious about it. I'm taking a shot in the dark and saying it probably has something to with the jelly-fin docker or something I messed up. I had to freeze the kernel version because NVIDIA drivers were failing to compile with the newer kernel version. They released an update to the NVIDIA driver and I updated back to the latest driver and kernel version.

@nexussapphire commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2024):

For whatever reason completely wiping all NVIDIA stuff from Debian and reinstalling it fixed it. I was a little confused about the fact apt wanted to auto-remove a lot of graphics and NVIDIA packages all of the sudden after updating to the latest kernel/video-driver.

Sorry for the trouble and keep up the good work!
