Not an issue per se, so forgive me for opening one, but I was wondering about what the correct procedure is when executing the steps in your readme.

Are the commands supposed to be ran as sudo?
Should one do the steps first and then install akmods and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, setup.sh must be executed with sudo since it needs access to your currently deployed mok (/etc/pki/akmods/{private,certs}.
TLDR: the order should not make a difference. If you installed the nvidia driver first, they are not signed not your next boot. If you afterward install akmods-keys, the nvidia driver will be reinstalled, i.e. signed, subsequently/automatically. If you install akmods-nvidia first, and then nvidia, the driver is directly signed.

Hope that helps!

@CheariX perfect! Thanks a lot for clearing that up 😊
