Someday I will remember to reboot my computer to an updated kernel before wondering why akmod-nvidia doesn’t build

Not today though

Selon NVidia : "La version 580 sera la dernière à supporter les GPU Maxwell, Pascal, et Volta"
La version 590 est déjà sortie.
Chez Fedora 43 (RPMFusion) akmod-nvidia reste en 580. Comme akmod-nvidia-470xx, le akmod-nvidia-580xx est déjà prêt pour Rawhide.

"The NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by open nvidia.ko."

I knew the day the current #nvidia driver would deem my card too old had been just around the corner for years. Goodbye akmod-nvidia and hello akmod-nvidia-580xx I guess #fedora #linux

and theres a funny issue with rpmfusion's nvidia drivers where dnf exits before the akmod has finished building, and you need to make sure you give it enough time to finish in the background before you reboot. and of course this breaks it if you use the "offline" updating feature that reboots it

Yo estoy en Fedora, no vienen OOTB pero añades el repo RPM Fusion y lo instalas sin problemas (el paquete se llama akmod-nvidia)

Alma Linux dispose déjà de noyau signés (et de pilote NVidia signés)

oh yeah also installing nvidia drivers, the livecd worked just fine, but once ive installed it, it genuinely broke down and i had to run with nomodeset and then install the nvidia akmod from the nonfree repo

otherwise the system would be stuck on the plymouth loader

Added my4ng/akmod-openrazer to the list of projects I want to try. https://github.com/my4ng/akmod-openrazer

Fedora's initial setup for Nvidia and codecs ain't bad in practice.

2 Repos from RPM Fusion: free and non-free have to installed. Can be done graphically using Store.
Then:

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia nvidia-vaapi-driver libva-utils vdpauinfo steam

sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg –allowerasing

I’m on 4.5.1. With a clean Fedora 43 KDE Plasma install and the nvidia akmod drivers, it just worked. I didn’t even know this problem existed until I saw your post. Quite strange.
December 23, 2025 at 12:13 PM
For newbie Fedora users this is awesome. No more dnf install akmod.
January 29, 2026 at 5:30 PM
ive followed the rpmfusion tutorial, and at first i didnt wait the 5 minutes for akmod to recompile the kernel module, so i was very confused as to why the kernel wasn't loading the driver lmao
April 5, 2026 at 7:29 PM
insmod doesn't work, the akmod version doesn't work, I've honestly given up it would have been quicker from the start tl try random curve optimiser values, test, reboot, and try again atp

chat what happened
i was trying to boot up and it starting rolling these lines, just been sitting like this for 5 minutes now

Me da pereza aprender como usar el dkms, el akmod, el dracut y su puta madre la verdad xD

lol the nvidia drivers were such a pain for me. on my first attempt at setting up fedora, I followed a recommended guide on installing the drivers manually and messed it up so bad I put my linux setup on pause for a month. then I completely re-installed fedora and used the rpm akmod drivers instead
April 5, 2026 at 6:55 PM
I’ve had that recently but it turned out that it was caused by akmod compiling a new Nvidia driver during bootup. Leaving it be for a few minutes while the system chewed on it resulted in the system coming up normally after a while with a brand new shiny Nvidia driver. I’m on Fedora 43.

Might be in danger on this old PC

The akmod-nvidia package is supposed to handle automatically installing the necessary kernel module to get the latest Nvidia driver running but it doesn't seem to be working... I was hoping this part would just go without a hitch. I will get through this 😤

akmod-nvidia-550.78-1.fc40.x86_64
is what i have currently i keep my system up to date
seems ok?

Sinon, avec rpmfusion, il est facile de maintenir à jour ses divers NVIDIA, et il me semble que dans les dernières versions, le secure boot est géré par akmod directement

Fedora has them in a repository that is easy to turn on. Then you just install akmod-nvidia and reboot. Manjaro is a fun way to get started with Arch.
April 29, 2024 at 6:25 PM
okay... Ctrl Alt Del, it seems like what it's gotten "stuck" on is akmod trying to install something to do with the Nvidia driver. black screen again. disk light blinks once every 1.5 seconds almost exactly.

the only hassle free method i found to use nvidia hardware with fedora was docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/gaming... ... I'm personally happy enough with the akmod drivers and fedora KDE (i got some driver issues with display detection, but that's nvidia's fault)
