Using the F35 branch of Silverblue here and I am getting the following.

error: Running %post for akmod-nvidia: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process killed by signal 1; run `journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(akmod-nvidia.post)'` for more information

Any thoughts here?

Probably have to wait for the akmod drivers to be updated to F35SB perhaps. They are normally just behind, and F35SB is still beta.

I’m getting the same error on Silverblue 35 as of 2/5/2022.
