NVIDIA drivers issue after recent update

Ask Fedora

After the recent system update (to 6.13.4 kernel I suppose) NVIDIA drivers failed to load and it falled back to nouveau. I’ve tried to reinstall and resign them:

sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\*

Afterwards I followed those instructions:
How to Install the Nvidia Driver on Fedora Linux

Except, I used sudo kmodgenca -a --force to replace already existing keys. But it didn’t solve the issue.

sudo akmods --force --rebuild
Checking kmods exist for 6.13.4-200.fc41.x86_64            [  OK  ]

Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install.
You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling
'/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

This will remove the Nvidia firmware.

i have the same issue

I also have the same issue.I went back to kernel 6.12 and everything is now working with nvidia.I guess we will just have to wait for the drivers to work with 6.13.

This may help … Fedora 41, nvidia-open, and dkms - #11 by jtingiris

just do this command for new update and upgrade

sudo dnf --refresh upgrade && flatpak update

Good spot, akmod-nvidia 570.86.16-3 is available now in the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates and rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver repos.

Installing the kernel update today also installed the newer nvidia driver (570.86.16)
I suspect the error is because you did not get the newer nvidia driver.

I think it depends what time today one installed the kernel upgrade.

When I did it around 0900 UTC, 570.86.16 wasn’t available in rpmfusion-nonfree-updates for f41. (I guess it may have been available for f42 or Rawhide though.)

The update is here, it works now

I am having this same issue. Unfortunately update does not work for me as I am getting dnf errors with conflicts and broken dependencies on the latest driver. Anyone else seeing this?

14

broken dependencies means that you have installed something that conflicts.
Probably something from one of the nvidia repos or from INTTF or negativo.

Users who install only from the fedora and rpmfusion repos do not see this problem.

We may be able to make suggestions if you were to post the messages seen when trying to update.

Please also note that this thread already has a solution and you really should open your own thread since the OP has the answer for his problem.
