Hi,
i have problem with NVIDIA driver to RTX2060 after update fedora to 36.

I use instalation procedure from NVIDIA website using .run, blacklist nouveau and remove nouveau.
To kernel 5.18.11-100 will everything working fine. DKMS rebuild drivers after update kernel.

Now in kernel 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64 and 5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64 GUI Gnome is not loading.
I can see only blinking underscore after GNOME [ OK ] screen.

After that i was try to reinstall NVIDIA drivers with new version: 515.65.01

Everything installed well, no errors. After reboot system and select 5.18.15-200.fc36.x86_64 with updated graphical drivers still no changes.

Black screen with blinking underscore.

In system logs i can see only one error:
Aug 05 15:04:39 fedora kernel: RAS: Correctable Errors collector initialized.

I’m stuck and don’t know what to do. Like i sad before in fedora 35 everything works fine.

One more thing:
I was trying install drivers with dnf install akmod-nvidia. Everything started, but screen was freezing and hanging. Like Graphical drivers doesn’t work property.

Best Regards.

I always use the driver from rpmfusion and never have any issues with nvidia or graphics. Install instructions here

Simply put

  1. remove the nvidia drivers installed using the .run file and remove all changes you have made as a result.
  2. Enable the 3rd party repo for rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver within the gnome-software tool
  3. install akmod-nvidia sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
  4. wait 5 minutes then reboot.

The akmod-nvidia package pulls in all the needed dependencies and builds the nvidia driver modules automatically. It also will automatically redo that with every driver version update and kernel version update for you.

My system does not have dkms installed by default since akmods does what is needed.

After your proposition it’s like i sad before. Screen freezing, hanging and working slow. Like drivers doesn’t working well.

But drivers are running.

After install with .run everything work much better. On kernel 5.18.11-100.
