Missing /dev/dri/renderD128

I recently swapped my server from an IntelNUC to my old DesktopPC

With the IntelNUC /dev/dri/renderD128 was available for some video decoding stuff i need on my server

Now with my “new Hardware” this device seems not to be accessible anymore

I guess this has something to do with the difference in Hardware or do i have to install something manually?

Very likely yes to both questions.

I can not find a way to get to know what to install to get this going

Do you?

You seem focused on a specific device that was likely in the NUC and not in your current hardware stack.

We need to know what hardware you currently have before we may make meaningful comments.
inxi -Fzxx is one very useful tool as may be lspci -nnk

Yes i was hoping that the above information was enough due to the fact that i use FCOS which has these packages not installed and i did not want to mess around with rpm-ostree but finally did it

BTW: Also toolbox is not working (i think due to the) /etc/localtime issue thing

EDIT:
You will see my 4080 here → This is another project
What i was wondering was, that the onboard graphics are not available as /dev/dri/render*

You appear to only have that one GPU, which shows in both and lapci as the only gpu installed.
Notice that for the 4080 GPU that no driver is loaded.

It seems that nouveau does not yet support the 4080 so it would be useful to install the nvidia driver from rpmfusion to support that GPU.
Verify that the rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver repo is enabled with dnf repolist. If it is not then (on workstation with gnome) it can be enabled thru the gnome software panel hamburger menu in the upper right corner.

Once that repo is enabled then installation is simple from the command line with sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda (for fcos you probably would need to use rpm-ostree instead of dnf and modify the command appropriately) then wait at least 5 minutes before a reboot. Once the driver is installed and loads for that gpu then things should work properly.

That GPU is way overkill for use with a device running as a server with fcos.

Hi @computersavvy,
thank you very much for your detailled description. I appreciate your effort very much.

You appear to only have that one GPU, which shows in both and lapci as the only gpu installed.
Notice that for the 4080 GPU that no driver is loaded.

Weird, i thought there has to be some gpu included if the mainboard has a hdmi-port etc., which could be used as every other on-board-gpu → But im absolutely not aware of these things

Once that repo is enabled then installation is simple from the command line with sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda (for fcos you probably would need to use rpm-ostree

Im not sure if its that easy, otherwise for FCOS these kind of discussions (below) wouldnt be present?

That GPU is way overkill for use with a device running as a server with fcos.

I aggree with you but i am planning to run higher workloads on this thing, thats why i treated myself with a big GPU :rofl:

You may be correct. FCOS is not the mainstream spin track of fedora. It is more on the server side as I understand it (and atomic) and I have never tried fcos myself.

Just so you are aware – The built in graphics on motherboards rely on a processor that contains the GPU built in. Using a processor that does not have the GPU built in automatically renders the portion in the mobo idle and irrelevant.

Added fcos, nvidia
