This card isn’t supported by the latest Nvidia 595 drivers on RPMFusion for Fedora 44.
You can remove those and install the 580 drivers, which do still support your card:
sudo dnf remove "*nvidia*" --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-580xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-580xx-cuda
Then wait a few minutes for the drivers to build, then reboot.
i worked in fedora 43 with the same device
if this issue in new version
Yes. akmod-nvidia provided the 580 drivers in F43, but now it provides the 595 drivers in F44.
Your card isn’t supported by the 595 drivers, so you now need to install the akmod-nvidia-580xx package to force the installation of the 580.
And be aware that you’ll be on those 580 drivers for life, or at least until you change your card.
Nvidia decide when to stop support so you’re restricted to the last supported drivers for your card.
where can i check this can you send any reference for that please

amansour@fedora:\~$
now i work in 580
This issue is documented in https://rpmfusion.org/CommonBugs
The MX230 GPU is maxwell architechture. This is relevant, and the latest driver, the 595 from rpmfusion, does not support maxwell.
The 580xx from rpmfusion is a legacy driver that still supports it and will be doing so for quite some time.
This is one reference for the change and nvidia has stated they were dropping that support some time back. The 591 driver referenced in that link was the windows version, while the 580 was the last version for linux.
This is the info directly from nvidia
Support Plan for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta-series GeForce GPUs. | NVIDIA.
thank you
Here’s a one liner
sudo dnf swap akmod-nvidia akmod-nvidia-580xx --allowerasing
I edited your output from nvidia-smi in post 7 above to remove the block quote tags ''and add the preformatted text tags </> so it appears exactly as shown on screen.
Please use the preformatted text tags in the future.
thank for advise
Yes in the fedora 44, we lose old nvidia driver. I have a 1060 and my video card is old. I had the trouble. I do it and it works for me.
sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\*
# sudo dnf list \*nvidia\*
sudo shutdown -r now
# The reboot is need to eraze nvidia driver
# After a long time or not
/sbin/lspci | grep -e VGA
sudo dnf reinstall kernel-devel*
sudo dnf reinstall kernel-modules-core*
# It is important here, not install akmod-nvidia who points to 595
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-580xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-580xx-cuda -y
sudo shutdown -r now
# The reboot is need to build nvidia driver
sudo lsmod | grep nvidia
This can be highly simplified with:
sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude=nvidia-gpu-firmware
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-580xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-580xx-cuda
Wait a few minutes for the akmods process to build the kernel module
(in the kmod-nvidia-580xx-* RPMs)
You can check that for example with pgrep -a akmods that should output nothing when
akmods has finished.
Verify eventually that the nvidia module is build with:
modinfo -n nvidia # should output /lib/modules/.../nvidia.ko.xz
dnf list --installed kmod-nvidia\* # should list those RPMs
Then reboot.
Note: your dnf remove command has wrongly removed the nvidia-gpu-firmware RPM. It is
better to reinstall it.
