Hey everyone,
Discover wont make updates it is just “stuck” With fetching updates. And I am not sure how to do It in the Konsole sine I have a older nvidia driver witch I do not want to get updated.
The most command reason for this is that you have installed packages to support snap’s. Discover is know to hang when the snap plugin is installed.
You can use the terminal to do the update.
To avoid a package getting updated you can do this:
sudo dnf update --refresh --setopt=excludepkgs=nvidia*
You can also configure dnf to always ignore the nvidia drivers with a config in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
excludepkgs=nvidia*
Beware that is you are not getting newer nvidia drivers from rpmfusion you will likely see an issue at some point when a new kernel is installed what is not compatibile with the nvidia driver sources you already have,
Discover works well a lot of the time, but it has issues and the feedback from Discover is very limited or non existent when it fails. I mention snap as its the most common reason for Discover to fail at the moment, but not the only reason.
As you note nvidia dropped support for your card in the current drivers.
On upgrading to f44 you should be using the 580xx drivers from rpmfusion. See Making sure you're not a bot! for details on installing the 580xx drivers.
I have the 580xx drivers installed. Is there any way to find out why for me discover is not working?
It is cause by haveing the package plasma-discover-snap installed. You can run
sudo dnf remove plasma-discover-snap
After that append the line
excludepkgs=plasma-discover-snap
to the file `/etc/dnf/dnf.conf.
The plasma-discover-snap tend to be installed by some future update, so therefore you would need the excludepkgs line to prevent that from happening.
I hope that plasma-discover actually pay attention to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, but I don’t know if it does.
How Do I append he line??
I don’t understand
Edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
Add the line
excludepkgs=plasma-discover-snap
into it.
Save it.
