Cannot update Nvidia drivers after installing cuda

Ask Fedora
, ,
1

I had installed akmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia from rpmfusion. After installing cuda, now when trying to run dnf update, I get errors of kind: ...from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates is filtered out by modular filtering.
How can I fix that?

The complete output:

sudo dnf update --refresh

Removed selinux

3

Added f39, f40

4

The conflicts says the packages are mismatched f39 & f40. . . Let look over the errors once more.

Also, what do you need from the fedora modular repo? Is it required?

5

This is your key.
Those packages from cuda-fedora39 are causing the conflict and the modular filtering

You must remove all packages installed from cuda-fedora39, which can be identified with
dnf list installed | grep cuda-fedora
then disable the module entry that they create with
sudo dnf module disable nvidia-driver
then disable the cuda-fedora39 repo with
sudo dnf config-manager --disable cuda-fedora39
then reinstall the drivers from rpmfusion with
sudo dnf reinstall akmod-nvidia

For the great majority of users installing the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda package from rpmfusion provides all the cuda support that is needed and also is tweaked to work with the nvidia packages from rpmfusion.

The choice here is to use the cuda-fedoraXX repo or the rpmfusion repo, but the packages installed when trying both cause conflicts and do not work together
