The latest NVIDIA beta drivers, v565.57.01, have been built in RPMFusion for Rawhide and F41. With it, I can confirm that this issue has been fixed and the environment variable workaround is no longer needed.

I hope it will be updated for no beta version soon as well (in my laptop drivers are just 560.35.03). : (
So is it RPM fusion or nvidia at fault?

44

The environment variable patch is indeed not needed anymore (tested on bluefin-nvidia:stable), however my fractional scaling is now broken (see bluefin-nvidia@40.20241027.0 : broken fractional scaling · Issue #1843 · ublue-os/bluefin · GitHub)

Rollbacking for now

560.35.03 isn’t a beta driver.

As for fault, it’s either nvidia or gnome gtk4, not rpmfusion.

Which driver version do you have?

47

It was v565.57.01, but it was fixed for my OS

Hybrid Asus TUF-F17 Nvidia 4070 + Intel i7-12700H. The same issue. Workaround is working. ALso for flatpak used flatseal to set global env variable

I got this error right after I updated to F41, but executing these commands fixed the problem!

mkdir -p ~/.config/environment.d
echo "GSK_RENDERER=ngl" >> ~/.config/environment.d/gsk.conf

:ballot_box_with_check:

Thanks!

So I tried the next nVidia branch (565) and confirm it’s working great.

sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\*
sudo dnf copr enable kwizart/nvidia-driver-rawhide -y
sudo dnf install rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide -y
sudo dnf --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda --nogpgcheck

You can safely wait for the official release and remove the GSK setting at that point.

I’m still on Fedora 40 Kinoite and I noticed GTK Flatpak apps failing at launch since two days ago. This fixed the issue. Thank you!

rpmfusion non-free-updates has now nvidia drivers 565. :+1:

I noticed I had been updated to 565 the other day. I went ahead removed the workaround, can confirm all is back to normal.

Thank you to everyone who helped address this!

So who knows, why it had happened?
Can it happen again?

55

I tried to upgrade to f41 without updating apps/dependencies.

Although I did updated everything using sudo dnf update, but there’s stills some updates pending in “Software” (app store)

So this probably it’s one of the reasons why.

I still dont know why it has to be updated on both the sudo dnf update and app store update or if it’s always supposed to be like this

Even with the 565 drivers, I was still experiencing this reported error when trying to access reports in GnuCash. This environment variable is a workaround: WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1.
