[Testers required] nvidia driver in rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing

If it helps, the laptop has two GPUs, one of them is an AMD GPU and the other one is this Nvidia 5070 Ti.

it could be a driver bug.
You could try to remove the driver and reinstall again, otherwise maybe go back to the previous version.

pls run

lspci |  grep -i -E 'vga' | cut -b1-7 | xargs -i lspci -vnnks {} | grep -v "<access denied>"

Thanks,

This is the output of lspci | grep -i -E 'vga' | cut -b1-7 | xargs -i lspci -vnnks {} | grep -v "<access denied>"

I have removed and reinstalled it many times without any luck I’m afraid.
I need to find a way to go back to the previous version.

I removed everything Nvidia related using:

sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\*

And now I’m installing it again as a last test using

sudo dnf install nvidia-open

EDIT: no difference at all.

don’t remove ’ nvidia-gpu-firmware.noarch’ it’s needed by the nouveau driver, that is your current failback

it looks like the repo rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver was also updated.
So you have to download the rpm files from koji.rpmfusion.org

don’t forget to recreate the file in /etc/rpm/

Thanks, installed the nvidia-gpu-firmware.noarch back again.

I’ll try to download the rpm files and get it sorted as this is my work laptop :frowning:

no, it’s

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia  xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

as documented on rpmfusion.org

Thanks, I’ll try this again.

Nope, no luck at all. Going to install the previous version.

ok this looks like a driver bug,

don’t download the kmod-nvidia rpm you don’t it, only the akmod-nvidia rpm

Thanks for you help mate.

Reinstalled 570 and everything is back to normal, phew!

Thank you ever so much. I need to blacklist it somehow in the repo files so it doesn’t get installed until it’s fixed.

you can add a dnf versionlock or you can add an exclude with
dnf config-manager setopt exclude=

man dnf-versionlock
man dnf-config-manager

Thanks Mark,
Locked akmod-nvidia for the time being.
You’re a big life saver.

Hi all, today i tried to update my Silverblue, but i’ll get this warning about bad signature:

it looks like the cuda-libs package has a bad signature.

glad, the stable 570 driver works.

btw. found this, it’s exactly the same error, confirmed by NVIDIA

This doesn’t exactly look good for me either with a RTX2060 in Fedora 41 :

What’s worse is that it seems I can’t revert back to akmod-nvidia 570 : trying to downgrade will go to akmod-nvidia 560 (I could still try that)

No issues here with my RTX 2060 on F42.

“Have you tried turning it off and on again?” :slight_smile:

Otherwise you could try the closed source driver instead

sudo sh -c 'echo "%_without_kmod_nvidia_detect 1" > /etc/rpm/macros.nvidia-kmod'
sudo akmods --kernels $(uname -r) --rebuild

modinfo -l nvidia should report ‘NVIDIA’ instead of ‘Dual MIT/GPL’

Reboot.

Seriously? It is described in this very thread where the 570 drivers can be downloaded…

Hi Mark and thanks for you reply. You’re using akmod-nvidia (575*) in Fedora 42 and everything’s fine ? That could be a very sweet reason for me to upgrade.

Seriously? It is described in this very thread where the 570 drivers can be downloaded…

You’re talking about the koji links above, right ?
I was talking about the fact that I was expecting for these to be still available from the repos, and not getting into archeological digging to download these one by one - - …

I doubt that this would change anything. The driver and kernel are the same. Is this a laptop with two GPUs?

AFAIK rpmfusion has never offered the previous drivers via dnf downgrade. Dnf downgrade offers the initial drivers when, in your case, F41 was released initially.

Well, I actually installed the previous version through dnf. I just told it which version to install and it did it for me.
