hey there
i have the problem that, when i try to install akmod-nvidia and the cuda stuff on fedora 41 (plasma, xorg/x11) over rpm fusion repos, the installation is skipped (dnf) due to non-resolveable dependencies. any hints here? is this a problem about the repo or is there perhaps a problem with my packages and applications?
message from dnf:: Packages with unresolvable dependencies are skipped: akmod-nvidia
thanks a lot
kind regards
Did you add the rpmfusion repos? They are not setup by default.
See the Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion section " About this Howto" that talks about config.
yes, iâve added rpm fusion for that. an they seem to be updated to fedora41 when upgrading the system.
ive kind of exactly done whats descirbed by rpm fusion (your link), last time it was ok.
Please show the following.
dnf repolist
dnf list --installed \*nvidia\*
uname -r
and the (full) actual results of sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
here the resultst
sorry, some of the text since i use the german version actually

and here the akmod is under unresolveable dependencies.

hope this helps

at the moment, i have uninstalled both packages, resp. the parts which where installed.
None of those are from a current fedora repo and all are for f39. Some are not even from the rpmfusion repo.
All appear to have been installed with dnf4, probably before upgrading to f41
I think you will find that you need to remove all currently installed nvidia packages, ensure that you have disabled the modular nvidia-driver, then start clean with a current f41 repo and install ONLY from one or the other repos.
To cleanly remove nvidia packages that are installed by rpm the command
sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware should work.
Then to find out if the modular nvidia-driver is enabled the command
dnf module list --enabled should show that
Your choice for using either the cuda-fedora41 repo or the rpmfusion repos but having packages installed from both seem to cause the conflicts.
Disabling the currently enabled cuda-fedora39-12-6-local repo the command (with dnf5) should be sudo dnf config-manager setopt <repo-id>.enabled=0
In general, unless you are doing cuda development there is no reason to install packages from the cuda-fedoraXX repos. Most of us suggest only installing from rpmfusion and that is done with one command to also include cuda.
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
Cleaning up what is already installed then running that one command (and waiting for about 5 minutes after it completes before rebooting) should solve the issues.
thanks a lot.
after removing the old packages and disabling the other repo, it was fine.
kind regards
