any help will be greatly appreciated … thanks in advance
booting on the previous kernel make everything works fine if it helps anyone to find out what i should do to get the last kernel working with the nvidia driver
Please use the preformatted text tags (the </> button on the tool bar) when posting text copied from the screen so the on-screen formatting is retained and things are more readable.
Please post the output of dnf list installed \*nvidia\* and mokutil --sb-state so we have more information to work with.
You may have also run into the problem shown here and the fix is probably the one in that post
I was having the exact same problem after upgrading to Fedora 40 and the solution you linked to (here) worked for me. Quite easily and quickly I might add!
you’re the best , the <sudo depmod -a> fixed it . Thanks a lot
i found out that mokutil --sb-state check if secure boot is enable on my computer . and it isn’t > Is it something that i must change too ?
You do not need to enable secure boot.
Secure boot is a security thing that helps prevent potentially malicious and unsigned software (such as kernels and kernel modules) from loading during boot.
If you are happy with the way things have been running to date it is not necessary to change.
If you decide to enable secure boot it is necessary to follow the instructions on how to locally sign the 3rd party drivers (such as nvidia) and how to enroll that signing key into the bios so secure boot will then allow loading of those modules.
The file /usr/share/doc/akmods/README.secureboot gives instructions for that and will assist in loading any modules that are created using akmods when secure boot is enabled.
