Hello i just upgraded F35 to F36 thinking it was out of beta without checking and since then i am unable to use my Nvidia GPU instead of the Hybrid Intel GPU, does someone have any idea of what i could do to fix that ?
We need more info to know what exactly has changed.
First, can you boot to the older F35 kernel and have the nvidia GPU work?
Second,
Please take the time to post the output of these commands
inxi -Fzx
lsmod | grep -iE 'nvidia|nouveau'
sudo dnf list installed *nvidia*
and
uname -a
With that info we can tell most of what is going on and may be able to form a reasonable suggestion for a fix.
Thank you, i tried so many things to make it work that it was a mess so i preferred to make a fresh F36 install but i didnât have the time to try it yet.
It is a shame i forgot to try to boot back to F35 before erasing it allâŚ
You didnât have to delete your system,
For next time you may ask these questions to yourself,
First how did you set your Nvidia card as a primary bios or Xorg configs ? If it is xorg configs you should of âdid you check Xorg configsâ and there are documentation about how to set it as well.
When you upgrade your system It may replace some of your configs and revert back to Intel as well. I assume that both drivers are working (Intel/Nvidia)
So i made a fresh install but still have the same problem after following this How to Set Nvidia as Primary GPU on Optimus-based Laptops :: Fedora Docs
and
Gaming on Fedora - Fedora Magazine
so i am still looking for a fix.

Ok, it seems the nvidia module is not properly built for the running kernel.
I see that you have the kernel-headers package for the 5.17.4 kernel. Is that kernel installed and not in use, or not installed? dnf list installed kernel will answer that.
If it is not installed then I suggest that you dnf remove kernel-headers before you continue.
Then do the following steps.
dnf remove *nvidia*
dnf upgrade kernel* --enablerepo=updates-testing
reboot to the newly installed kernel 5.17.4
then do
dnf install akmod-nvidia kernel-headers
wait at least 5 minutes then reboot again.
If everything works the system then should load the nvidia drivers properly.
To check that repeat lsmod | grep -iE 'nouveau|nvidia'
If it now returns a list of the nvidia modules then things are working as they should. If it still returns the nouveau modules then we have to dig a little deeper.
I have already done this process and nvidia is working properly on F36 with the 5.17.4 kernel on my laptop with dual GPU.
first for the kernel i get this which means if i am correct that it isnât installed so i will follow your procedure
dnf list installed kernel
Installed Packages
kernel.x86_64 5.17.3-302.fc36
so after waiting 5 minutes at the second reboot i get some message like Nvidia module missing, falling back to nouveau.
and i get
lsmod | grep -iE 'nouveau|nvidia'

That is frustrating. I wonder if the kernel-devel package is current. The first release of it for the 5.17.4 kernel had some issues.
dnf list installed kernel-*devel* kernel-headers
On my system I have
$ dnf list installed kernel-*devel* kernel-headers

kernel-headers.x86_64 5.17.4-300.fc36 @updates-testing
one -devel package for each kernel still installed, plus only the newest -headers package. I think it was the kernel-devel-matched package that fixed the earlier issue with the nvidia driver for someone. If you do not have that one then you may need to do dnf install kernel-devel-matched --enablerepo=updates-testing to install it.
yes that is frustrating, i am glad i can get some help, thank you.
for this command i get
Installed Packages
kernel-devel.x86_64 5.17.3-302.fc36 @fedora
kernel-devel-matched.x86_64 5.17.3-302.fc36 @fedora
kernel-headers.x86_64 5.17.0-300.fc36 @fedora
So should i do âdnf install kernel-devel-matched --enablerepo=updates-testingâ anyway ?
I donât see the devel or headers files for the newest kernel you have installed.
I think you should do dnf upgrade kernel* --enablerepo=updates-testing then akmods --force followed by another reboot after waiting 5 minutes from the completion of these commands.
it didnât work, now in the settings instead of nouveau and intel gpu i have intel gpu twice and no more nouveau but nvidia is still missingâŚ
but the command above installed the 5.17.4 kernel and the akmod built succesfully some nvidia stuff.
Now lets once again see the output of
dnf list installed kernel*, dmesg | grep -iE 'secure|nvidia', lsmod | grep -iE 'nvidia|nouveau' and add inxi -SCGzxx
alright,
dnf list installed kernel*

Those outputs show that you now have booted from the 5.17.4 kernel, that the nvidia drivers loaded and your current desktop is wayland.
Is everything working the way you expected now?
The only other step to ensure all is working the best I know how with the nvidia dGPU as primary is to verify that you have copied /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf and that you have edited the latter file and inserted Option "Primary" "yes" into both stanzas of that file.
i did that, it doesnât work but i get a message after i login every time i reboot saying âsoftware updates failed, an important operating system update failed to be installedâ and if i click on it, it opens the software center and it says âfailed to update, the update was cancelledâ with no option to see or install whatever was cancelled.
