Can not open nvidia-settings

Hi,
today I updated to f32 and decided to install nvidia drivers. By looking at this guide Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion I executed these commands
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
And after that I got this output from the command
$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E “(VGA|3D)”
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0835
Kernel driver in use: i915
–
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0836
Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
I think it looks right but if I try to open nvidia-settings or nvidia-smi nothing happens. If a game is started I see that the integrated GPU is used (Intel) not nvidia.

Do you have any ideas how to fix this issue.

Because you are still on nouveau drivers.
Do this in terminal:
1:
sudo -s
2:
grub2-editenv - set “$(grub2-editenv - list | grep kernelopts) nouveau.modeset=0 nvidia-drm.modeset=1”
And restart your computer

after that you will need this simple scripts for switching between GPUs
