I use I use Nvidia MX250. on F43 nvidia driver work perfectly fine, its always update to newest, until i update to F44, the driver wont work. I think thats a minor bug, today I got update for nvidia, so i update it but still nothing.

When I turn on my laptop, I got this error on my boot screen, it comes on green text.

You need to swap driver

sudo dnf swap akmod-nvidia akmod-nvidia-580xx --allowerasing

thats mean my GPU is not supported for driver 595?

Thanks! This enlighten me. When I run that swap command, It show some package have conflict. So I decide to remove installed nvidia driver which version 595, and install the correct one which is 580xx.

dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\*
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-580xx akmod-nvidia-580xx

Correct. NVIDIA dropped support for what they consider old GPUs with the 595 driver.

Feeling grateful for the forum and this solution that fixes it for me :clap:
Using Nvidia Titan X Pascal (2016). Happened after upgrading to F44. System was booting fine but flatpak applications froze on launch. Got error message looking at system’s journal : journalctl -p err.
