I have always disliked using the gnome software tool and almost exclusively use dnf for my updates.
You may try sudo dnf distro-sync to see if that will solve the issue. You also could use pkcon refresh --force to ensure that the gnome software tool is fully synced with the system status and the repo as well. I would recommend that you do both to ensure your current messages are suppressed.
me too, i didnât use it but i get a message from it anyway.
i get an error doing âsudo dnf distro-syncâ, i did skip broken but i got the same result.

Error:

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
pkcon refresh --force
âforce returned as an unknown option so i did it without --force
Try adding the options --best --allowerasing to the dnf command. It should fix that error and likely will also solve the message from gnome-software.
ok it worked, updated a lot of things, stopped the error message but Nvidia is still missing.
In post 18 you showed nvidia was working. Now you say it is not.
Please help us understand exactly what is happening and what you expect.
from my little knowledge i check in the settings and screenfetch to see if there is Nvidia listed, it isnât.
i understand if you have enough of this, i just hope it is because of the beta and it will work as well on F36 than it used to work on F35, i still can use Xorg until the end of the beta.
To check if nvidia is in use repeat the commands I gave you above.
lsmod | grep nvidia
If that returns a list of modules that are active then the nvidia driver is in use.
Also please post the output from cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf
lsmod | grep nvidia

you are right, Nvidia works, it just doesnât show where i used to look for some reason.
thank you very much for your help and time.
Excellent.
This means nvidia is working properly and you should be able to switch back to wayland with no problems.
Good luck.
thank you very much.
i donât want to bother you but do you know anything about blender looking totally broken, is it related to my video card ?
different subject, please open a new thread.
ok thank you
I have a similar configuration system (Thinkpad T15 Gen1 - Intel i915+Nvidia Geforce MX330)

@computersavvy Are you sure that the option itâs âPrimaryâ or âPrimaryGPUâ?
And Its required that the key Primary will be included only within OutputClass section or both?

I am testing to be sure what works for me and what conditions I see. Will update tomorrow
I tested and cannot tell any difference between having the Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" in both or only in the âServerLayoutâ section. In fact I can see little difference in having it by itself in either section. Since the docs on either fedora quick docs or rpmfusion do not specify in which section it belongs so I placed it in both quite some time back.
The only issue I see with the nvidia GPU is that with wayland the external monitor does not function, whether nvidia is set as primary or not. When I use xorg both monitors work properly, either mirrored or independently.
I did have mine as Option "Primary" "yes" and have switched it to Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" per the referenced sites with no noticeable difference.
ok, thanks for the clarification
Iâve read this entire thread, very nutritous to keep learning. Thanks for you support and teaching us @computersavvy
