Haveing trouble upgrading because of nvidia driver

mhack · 2019-06-02T17:16:03.451Z

when trying to upgrade to the newest version of silverblue (which includes a Linux kernel upgrade: kernel 5.0.17-300.fc30 -> 5.1.5-300.fc30), i get following error:
error: Running %post for akmod-nvidia: Executing bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process killed by signal 1; run journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(akmod-nvidia.post)' for more information

mhack · 2019-06-02T17:17:10.233Z

does anyone have a suggestion how to proceed?

refi64 · 2019-06-02T17:18:59.872Z

Can you try running the journalctl command it gave and post the output?

Looks like kernel 5.1 just made stable right before the weekend, but nvidia 430.14, which is needed for 5.1, hasn’t been pushed yet. Most likely builds will start up again tomorrow, so the best advise I can give is to wait it out a bit for 430.14 to be pushed.

mhack · 2019-06-02T23:52:11.732Z

Thanks for the advice, i was hoping it was something like that and i just had to wait a little

pluto · 2019-06-03T08:58:23.612Z

This seems to be happening to other akmods too (e.g. wl).

To be honest, I’m glad this errors when updating rather than potentially being left with a broken system, so kudos to Silverblue.

kwizart · 2019-06-07T10:08:11.655Z

mhack:

There is already an updated akmod-nvidia 418.74 that is compatible with 5.1 in repos.
So if you have kept the rpmfusion-nonfree yum repository, you should have received the update few weeks “before” the kernel 5.1 update was moved to stable (in either fedora or silverblue).

The same apply with wl-kmod (despite there is another issue there because of wpa_supplicant incompatible feature that is been worked on).

About been left with a broken system with nvidia, this shouldn’t be the case anyone thx for the nvidia-fallback service that I’ve designed (as RPM Fusion nvidia package maintainer) on the original idea from Hans de Goede , from Red Hat.
Basically, if anything broken with nvidia, the fallback service will enable nouveau so you won’t have a broken system.

mhack · 2019-06-07T13:34:32.471Z

thanks for the information, i ended up having to reinstall rpm-fusion

barn · 2019-08-06T02:58:44.064Z

can you be more specific? i just came across same issue with following kernel:

kernel 5.1.18-300.fc30 -> 5.2.5-200.fc30

thanks!

mhack · 2019-08-06T05:00:08.006Z

I think i might have been on a version of a rpm-fusion repo where the updated package was not showing up (maybe for fedora 29 or something) so removing the rpm-fusion repo and then reinstalling it, made the package available but it’s been a while now so i am not quite sure. Now I don’t have the nvidia drivers installed anymore because i was having some stability issues and did not notice any improvement over the nouveau drivers in my daily use.

mdbluelily · 2019-08-08T04:48:14.685Z

I had exactly same issue and was pulling my hair down yesterday to fix it without any luck.
kernel 5.1.20 -> 5.2.5

I tried removing RPM Fusion from sources, dnf clean all, dnf update, then added RPM Fusion repositories back again and tried dnf update and to my surprise there was a nVidia driver update (430.40) which fixed the problem.

I hope it helps.

(Thanks to mhack for his updates and details)

barn · 2019-08-14T02:35:41.650Z

I attempted an update again and it was successful without any issues. I didn’t actually change any of my repos. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

mdbluelily · 2019-08-14T05:29:51.274Z

Even better!
