can anyone help me with i am so curious with this
Hi, Look fro my post here, this is how I do NVIDIA installation under Fedora KDE and it works for me:
I have a desktop with an RTX4080 and a 13th gen i9, so kinda close to your setup.
However, my NVIDIA drivers broke several times already, on two PCs, in a manner you described, but it happened AFTER a system upgrade and a new kernel. Then I had to simply repeat the process to install the drivers again and they worked again.
If you search the forum, there are more post like this.
NVIDIA GPU under Linux is a giant PITA though. No matter the distro, you will have problems like this from time to time.
Each time a new kernel installed the nvidia driver will be built for that new kernel. Sometimes the build fails, or a early reboot prevents it completing.
You can force the build with sudo akmods --force --rebuild.
If that completes without errors you should be able to reboot and the nvidia driver should install.
If you see errors let us know what you see.
i really have the same problem with ubuntu before so its just kernel problem not distro problem
i uninstalled every nvidia driver after it fall when i re install it should i remove the rpm key and make a new MOK
Normally not. If you do make a new MOK key you should also remove the old key(s) from the MOK storage. To do that requires a procedure which is not at all intuitive. You basically need to export the keys and give that key to mokutil to remove it from the store.
For example sudo mokutil --delete MOK-0002.der where MOK-0002.der is an exported key you want to remove.
