Getting "NVIDIA kernel module missing" despite following all instructions #288

Closed sschuberth closed 7 months ago

sschuberth commented 7 months ago

It seems that after some update of my Fedora 39 PC (KDE spin), I'm now at kernel version 6.6.11-200.fc39.x86_64, GPU acceleration stopped working. So I went through all the installation steps, which succeeded, but still the start screen of KDE Plasma shows "NVIDIA kernel module not found. Falling back to Nouveau." even after several reboots and re-installation of akmod-nvidia. Any hints what I could check?

Is your secure boot on ?

Hmm, I was about to say "no" as this first shows "Secure boot disabled" (twice), but in the end it also shows "Secure boot is enabled"!?

dmesg | grep -iE 'secure|nouveau|nvidia'

I've double-checked in UEFI settings, and it's disabled.

The problem magically disappeared with today's kernel update to version 6.6.12-200.fc39.x86_64.

This happened again after the upgrade from Fedora 39 to 40. What helped was:

sudo dnf remove kmod-nvidia-6.8.7-300.fc40.x86_64.x86_64
sudo dnf reinstall akmod-nvidia

Hello @sschuberth , glad to see the issue goes away . So, I saw the same issue upgrading the kernel. I fixed just reinstalling the pieces around. This is the script i use to do it.
