does this installer work with NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M ?

[goldenratio]

I have installed all modes - driver, nvrepo, plcuda, ffmpeg, vulkan, vidacc, primec

It seems GPU is not detected?

Nvidia X Server settings doesn't show the GPU,

nvtop and nvidia-semi doesn't detect GPU,

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @goldenratio ,

Questions,

1. is uefi disable on the machine ? if not, can you disable ?
2. have been worked in that before in that machine ?

I have been using a Lenovo with fedora 40 as well, saw the same issue as you upgrading the kernel. The issues reinstalling some packages. I create this script to do it:

https://github.com/FelipeRuizGarcia/super-machine-setup/blob/test/utils/fedora/os-fedora-nvidia.sh

that work for me. Hopefully can help u.

[goldenratio]

• is uefi disable on the machine ? if not, can you disable ? ya, UEFI is disable and also secure boot is disabled

• have been worked in that before in that machine ? it has never worked

reinstalling didn't work

@goldenratio , take a look to the kernel modules and specifc versions for your graphics card.

@goldenratio , take a look to the kernel modules and specifc versions for your graphics card.

also, check the specific steps for your gfx card at https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

Lets see if the nvidia kernel modules are loaded . share with us the cat /default/grub

there should be an nvidia-drm.modeset=1 option to be able to load

also, sudo lsmod | grep nvidia

I am ready to help you with this.

oh wait ... remove the kmod-nvidia package ... do not install it.

just install the akmod-nvidia, as the guide how to mentioned
