# If this gives nice output : Then we are done# NB: It might say '12.2' as the cuda version at the top :-?
# If not :
lsmod | grep nv
# Probably empty (except for i2c_nvidia_gpu)
journalctl -b | grep nvidia
# Assuming the journal kernel line mentions stuff like : modprobe.blacklist=nouveau ...
Relink the kernel module…
Apparently, this may be a something that doesn’t work quite right in what akmods produces:
depmod -a
shutdown -r now
nvidia-smi
# If this gives nice output : Then we are done
Rebuild the kernel module…
Apparently, normal updating does give enough time for akmods to complete, so let’s do it manually here.
NV_KMOD=`rpm -qa | grep kmod | grep$(uname-r)`echo$NV_KMOD
dnf remove $NV_KMOD
akmods --force--kernels$(uname-r)# Takes a couple of minutes
shutdown -r now
nvidia-smi
# If this gives nice output : Then we are done
If the journal still mentions starting ‘nvidia-fallback.service’ …
Perhaps the service is falling back to nouveau in before the nvidia module loads properly:
systemctl disable nvidia-fallback.service
systemctl mask nvidia-fallback.service
shutdown -r now
nvidia-smi
# If this gives nice output : Then we are done
All done!
