Akmod-Nvidia conflicting peer dependencies

Hi. I’ve been trying to install nvidia drivers on Fedora 37 from this common guide Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion, but without any success.

The problem starts when I run the following command:

➜  ~ sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia 
Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:32 ago on Sat 27 May 2023 16:37:49 EEST.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - package akmod-nvidia-3:520.56.06-1.fc37.x86_64 requires nvidia-kmod-common >= 3:520.56.06, but none of the providers can be installed

  - package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-3:530.41.03-1.fc37.x86_64 is filtered out by modular filtering
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

I’ve tried a few solutions from similar discussions, and still get the same error. How do I fix this?

Here’s some outputs for the context.

This sound suspiciously like the problems encountered when one has previously installed the nvidia drivers from a cuda-fedoraXX repo.

Have you previously installed any form of cuda from any source?

Please show us the output of dnf module list --all or dnf module list --enabled

Hm, I don’t recall installing drivers from cuda repo.
Here’s the outputs for both commands:

That is what commonly causes the modular interference.
If one runs sudo dnf module disable nvidia-driver then it should be possible to install the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion without the version conflicts.

After disabling that module then
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda should install everything needed and configure it for you .

That worked, thank you @computersavvy

Huge thanks to @computersavvy for his answer and skills.

After a system update & restart Nvidia support was missing, and after wasted hours trying to understand & fix this I finally found this post that solved it. Very much appreciated!
