Hi all. I’m on Fedora 44 and I just rebooted my computer to see a red update icon in my tray. Upon attempting to run the update in Discover, it threatens to remove “kmod-nvidia-”. I do not see any Nvidia updates pending in the update list. This makes me think that, if I approve this update, I will not have Nvidia drivers installed upon the next boot. I’m curious if this is a bug. I will not approve pending updates and would probably advise others with this problem not do so either.
Why don’t you use dnf cli instead of that garbage gui, it seems confusing.
FTR it’s normal for kmod-nvidia-{old-kernel} to be removed on kernel update, if you didn’t use the lame gui you would have seen the complete transaction clearly.
I tried CLI DNF as well, I can see it removes kmod-nvidia but doesn’t have any mention of a new nvidia package. Or is this just a matter of, updating to Kernel 7 will re-create kmod for the new version?
Okay yeah, just rebooted after the update and my Nvidia GPU seems to be working fine under Kernel 7. Sorry for the false alarm; that part of the package manager looked pretty unusual to me and I didn’t wanna pull an LTT moment where he uninstalls something he clearly doesn’t want to. Thanks for your help!
