There were no hints of any problems.  The kernel and the graphics driver were replaced

Thanks to the new RPM fusion nvidia-470xx driver,
and it being reported in this list on April 24,
and great off-line help,
this problem was solved this past weekend.

I was able to do the f-38 to f-39 upgrade today.
More likely than not, it was the smoothest full upgrade of the 22(?) I've done.

Thank-you to all who helped or tried to help.

A. nvidia's proprietary drivers.

There's
1.
(Thomas)
I finally just nuked all the RPMFusion packages and downloaded the 
drivers directly from https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx and 
ran the installer from there. It works fine again.


(Todd)

I can tell you that building the 2 or 3 nvidia 470xx packages
works well for the later 6.7 and current 6.8 kernels.


and there's
2.
(John)
AIUI we are moving from X11 graphics towards Wayland, which the nvidia 
driver will not support...


(Michael)
So, not sure if this is a kernel issue, or the driver issue, but seems 
neither rpmfusiong or nvidia's driver will work any longer?


These seem to me to be inconsistent with each other.  What am I missing?

B. nvidia and Fedora.

 From posts in this thread, I gather that
1. nvidia users can no longer use Fedora, and
2. Fedora users can no longer use nvidia.
Is this correct?



I don't think your summaries are correct.   But although technical fixes 
may exist for the immediate problems the situation at rpmfusion looks 
more difficult.  See this Bugzilla and in particular Comment 5.

That's not AT ALL what I said. I was able to use the NVidia drivers from 
NVidia's web site just fine. Others mentioned they did the same.



2. Fedora users can no longer use nvidia.


Again, I didn't see ANYTHING that intimated that.


Is this correct?


Nope. I've been using Linux since 1995. NVidia drivers have ALWAYS been 
problematic. RPMFusion has done amazing work trying to make it less 
onerous, but often times NVidia makes changes that catch third parties 
like RPMFusion unawares. I *feel* like this is just another case of 
this. It stinks, but it's not the end of the world. Either wait til this 
gets fixed by the volunteer developers at RPMFusion (and be cool to 
them, most are working out of love for the community), or install the 
NVidia drivers from NVidia web site. You'll be fine.

Something changed in the kernel and the NVidia driver needs to be 
changed to work with it.  The driver is out of tree so it doesn't get 
fixed by the people making the change like the in tree drivers would.

Just an update. Used grubby to set the default kernel to 6.7.11, 
and ran akmods, so not BOINC sees the nvidia and is able to use 
the GPU...

Now Acer notebook is running 6.7.11 kernel that works with the 
rpmfusing nvidia.

So, not sure why it works with 6.7.x but not with 6.8.x.

Have seen that Busybox also had an issue with some options no 
longer working with 6.8.x kernels. Said the 6.8.x dropped some 
things that cause the app to tail to build.

I've dropped the initial posts in this thread..  When I posted on the 
rpmfusion list, on 9 April, Sergio's response was:




a fix for nvidia 340x was posted today , 
for Fedora 40 we don't have these kmod nvidias because it fail to build

with gcc14 .

Please someone which have these graphics try fix it ASAP 

Thank you 


So one difficulty is probably a lack of rpmfusion devs with the affected

Just as an additional note. I have an older Acer notebook that has 
an NVIDIA GT 650M that had been working fine with the 
rpmfusion driver. Have BOINC using its GPU for a project. 
After recent kernel upgrade, I noticed it was no longer working. 
Tried reinstalling the rpm and it fails to build, so goes to fallback 
of noveum? driver. Went to NVIDIA site, and downloaded what I 
believe was the correct driver for the GT 650M, but it also fails to 
build? Currently 17 timezones away from machine. In GMT -0700, 
while machine is in GMT +1000, so accessing remotely via 
TurboVNC. So, not sure if this is a kernel issue, or the driver issue, 
but seems neither rpmfusiong or nvidia's driver will work any 
longer? I've got other machines

The -NNN is the version that is provided by the kernel team.
At latest builds are:
kernel-6.8.5-101.fc38
kernel-6.8.5-201.fc39
kernel-6.8.5-301.fc40

I think the idea is that upgrade from f38 to f39 will pull in a new kernel
and like wise for a f39 to f40 upgrade.

I think it's numbered for next (f40), current (f39) and previous (f38) fedora 
releases.

> What does the -100 vs. -200 signify?

From observation, not reading any doc:

A fresh Fedora release gets -300, moving the prior release to -200, and the 
prior
to prior release to -100. After the prior-prior's support ends, there is only
current, prior, and rawhide. At some later point, next release gets branched 
from
Rawhide. I think it's at or before branching that prior gets switched from -200 
to
-100, and current gets switched from -300 to -200. So, latest/current, with next
imminent, is F39 is -200 and F38 is -100, with F40 about to be released with 
-300.

Does it actually have any more meaning? I haven't been able to spot anything 
more
than at upgrade time, allowing the same version of kernel to be installed twice,
first within the old release, then again from upgrading to the new release.

There has been a kernel change of some sort.  The driver needs to be 
updated to match the kernel.


You will not get this driver to build on any newer kernels.

So realistically, my only practical choice is what Todd suggested, "to 
just switch to the stuff Nvidia provides directly"?


Unless there's a hope of the rpmfusion package getting updated, it looks 
like it.  I'm not really familiar with akmods, but maybe you could just 
update the source somehow.

(f-38; stand-alone work station; nvidia graphics card; dual monitor; kmod 4xx

I just finished doing a "dnf upgrade" as a prerequisite step to upgrading from 
f-38 to f-39.
There were no hints of any problems.  The kernel and the graphics driver were replaced 
during this "dnf upgrade".
The akmods did finish before I rebooted.
The shutdown took 5 minutes because it ran akmods (a second time?!).
During the boot-up, there was a message that it was failing back to nouveau.
The display is not working properly; only one monitor is being used and 
everything is oversized in the display.
I am not comfortable proceeding with the f-38 to f-39 upgrade with the work 
station in this condition.

Important: I have only one old kernel.  I have no rescue kernel.

How do I get this workstation working properly?

I looked at the dnf logs.  Something caught my attention.  I put the file on the google drive as 
"dnflog.txt".  It does not show properly in google's preview, but you should be able to 
download it and view it with vim.  There are "non-printing" characters; I don't know how 
to fix or remove those.  Here is the link:

The nvidia 470xx driver packages are orphaned at RPM Fusion.

Someone will need to step up and maintain them there, update
them yourself locally, or swtich to the upstream Nvidia
driver downloads.

I can tell you that building the 2 or 3 nvidia 470xx packages¹
works well for the later 6.7 and current 6.8 kernels.
Though for anyone unfamiliar with using fedpkg/rfpkg or
building rpms in general, it may be easier to just switch to
the stuff Nvidia provides directly.

¹ xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx, nvidia-settings-470xx,
  nvidia-470xx-kmod.  The settings package may not be
  required, I forget.  It needs to be updated to match the
  others if it's installed.

If it doesn't say something about "Success" near the end, then it didn't
build correctly.

I usually do a tail -f on that file when running dnf update so I can watch
the build process and only reboot after the new module is installed.

upgrading from f-38 to f-39.
There were no hints of any problems.  The kernel and the graphics driver
were replaced during this "dnf upgrade".
The akmods did finish before I rebooted.
The shutdown took 5 minutes because it ran akmods (a second time?!).

[snip]

The process running akmods might have finished, but you should not reboot unless it 
actually created a module. I use a shell alias I call "kerncheck", which does 
the below. You might want to see what this shows you:

ls -ltr /lib/modules/*/extra;echo;ls -ltr /lib/modules;echo;echo -n "Currently 
booted to: ";uname -r;echo

If there is no module showing for the new kernel then it clearly can not load. 
You then look at the error logs. I don't have Nvidia currently and can't 
remember where you find those logs.

I've certainly just booted old kernels and had that work. Under
some conditions, I've seen it rebuild the previous kernel module
as well as the new kernel, so I don't know if that would always work,
but it has worked for me in the past.

Forgive my ignorance, I don't use RPMFusion

When something does not (can not?) build correctly, can you just boot
to an earlier kernel until the problems with the current kernel
modules are fixed? Or does rebuilding akmod break past kernels?

/var/log/akmod/akmod.log

If it doesn't say something about "Success" near the end, then it didn't
build correctly.

I usually do a tail -f on that file when running dnf update so I can watch
the build process and only reboot after the new module is installed.

I just finished doing a "dnf upgrade" as a prerequisite step to 
upgrading from f-38 to f-39.
There were no hints of any problems.  The kernel and the graphics driver 
were replaced during this "dnf upgrade".

The akmods did finish before I rebooted.
The shutdown took 5 minutes because it ran akmods (a second time?!).
During the boot-up, there was a message that it was failing back to 
nouveau.
The display is not working properly; only one monitor is being used and 
everything is oversized in the display.
I am not comfortable proceeding with the f-38 to f-39 upgrade with the 
work station in this condition.


Important: I have only one old kernel.  I have no rescue kernel.

How do I get this workstation working properly?


I just ran into that exact same issue on RHEL 9 instead of Fedora.

I wound up uninstalling all the RPMFusion packages and reinstalling 
them, but it didn't help. I waited til all the gcc and depmod and xz 
processes completed, it ain't my first rodeo. Still no joy.


I finally just nuked all the RPMFusion packages and downloaded the 
drivers directly from https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx and ran 
the installer from there. It works fine again. I hate to do it, because 
I really prefer the RPMs, but I *had* to get back to work and my desktop 
was toast. Three of my four monitors weren't working.


Sorry I don't have better advice, but I feel like something went south 
in the RPMFusion packages.
