NVIDIA Kernel Module Missing – Falling Back to Nouveau on Fedora 41

Hi, I I have installed the NVIDIA drivers from RPM fusion for my 1050Ti GPU however when I reboot my pc, I get NVIDIA Kernel Module Missing - Falling back to Nouveau.

sudo /usr/sbin/akmods --rebuild --force returns:

`Building and installing nvidia-kmod [FAILED]
Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/nvidia/565.77-1-for-6.13.4-200.fc41.x86_64.failed.log for details
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`

sudo /usr/sbin/akmods --force does the same as above

rpm -qa | grep nvidia log:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It seems the 565 driver does not work for the 6.13.4 kernel.
update the nvidia driver to the 570 version.
dnf upgrade \*nvidia\*

Unfortunately that hasn’t worked :frowning:

Nothing to do.

Solved it by running sudo /usr/sbin/akmods --rebuild --force after running dnf upgrade \*nvidia\*

Now have 2 screens. :smiley:

Thanks guys
