This copr repository does - not - provides the nvidia-driver but helps to install the FLOSS components built from source for current stables fedora releases.
Greetings – my apologies if this is not the correct place to post this issue, if not, I would like to be directed to the correct forum or resource for assistance.
Since kernel 6.12 has been offered on the kernel-vanilla/mainline copr, the nvidia drivers on my fedora machine are not building. I’m on a intel integrated / nvidia discrete GPU so I’m running on the integrated GPU only at the moment. This is a snip of the output of “akmods --force”:
Checking kmods exist for 6.12.0-0.rc0.20240922gt88264981.308.vanilla.fc40.x86_64 [ OK ]

Please advise, or let me know if there is any additional information that I should provide. Again, accept my apologies if I am posting in the wrong forum/thread.

Development kernels are difficult to support with nvidia.
Within that area, early development kernel are even more difficult to support for any 3rd part kernel modules.
Yet alone rc0, just drop any report. not bother
could you also build libvdpau for i686 to fix the following dependency issue? wine depends on the 32 bit version of the library
sudo dnf up

@kwizart Are you getting issues with grubby not satisfying dependencies on Fedora 41? The Nvidia driver cant install on a freshly installed Fedora because of grubby dependency issues. There are also the libvdpau issues that someone else mentioned
I’ve just fixed the vdpau issue.
How are you trying to install the nvidia driver ? and which version (the lastest with nvidia-driver-rawhide method or the regular nvidia from f41-nonfree ?)
I’m currently using the nvidia driver from f41 just fine, but the grubby issue is likely something from f42+ so you might trying the rawhide version…
