Graphics issue with fedora kde

Ask Fedora

Hi everybody! So I installed a new update for fedora kde and I am currently using version 42 with the last stable version. It messed with my graphics drivers somehow. there are images included to kinda explain my problems. The game I was running fine is now lagging and missing textures and other things. Before the update I had issues also with some of my games running for 5 seconds and then freezing. I am using steam with proton. No pirated stuff.

I went to rpm fusion and ran the update command: sudo dnf update -y and it updated 2 things. I rebooted and it didn’t fix my issue

I also ran: sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia But it says that the package is already installed and “nothing to do”

And Now I am stuck. Any Ideas? Thank you!

Did you install Steam as the Flatpak, or the rpm?

How do I check? And it did work before. It survived minimum 5 updates so far without any issues.

One (hopefully not both) of these should show you Steam:

dnf list --installed steam

flatpak list | grep Steam

If it’s the Flatpak, then try doing flatpak update to update the Flatpak runtimes with the extension for your new Nvidia driver version.

If it’s the rpm - I’m not immediately sure of the answer.

Downgrading mesa and /or other things often fixes graphical problems.

sudo dnf downgrade mesa

So I got this after running your command
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
No match for argument: mesa
You can try to add to command line:
–skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages
Im guessing no luck?

dnf list --installed steam This one did list steam. The other one didn’t do anything.

try

sudo dnf downgrade mesa*

That means you have the rpm version, not the flatpak

Wait a couple of weeks before updating again, note the version that did not work so you don’t install it again.
