Good to let akmod compile and install the kmod-nvidia, but there is a new bug since dnf5: the installation of this RPM may fail with: Transaction failed: Failed to obtain rpm transaction lock.\ Another transaction is in progress. See: /var/cache/akmods/*/*failed.log (I got that for VirtualBox 2 days ago when updating to kernel-6.16.5) > Curiously, paying more attention to reboot shows that kernel 6-16-5 > is NOT shown on the grub boot menu, and the system defaults to > kernel 6-16-4 You should skip the 6-16-4 kernel since it has a network issue: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/kernel-6-16-3-causes-intermittent-network-issues/163310 That may explain that Google Chrome does not work. To correct this (no initramfs 6.15.6 and no kmod-nvidia): - Verify that the needed kernel*-6.15.6 are installed Ex: dnf list --installed kernel*-6.15.6\* | cat Installed packages kernel.x86_64 6.15.6-200.fc42 updates kernel-core.x86_64 6.15.6-200.fc42 updates kernel-devel.x86_64 6.15.6-200.fc42 updates kernel-modules.x86_64 6.15.6-200.fc42 updates kernel-modules-core.x86_64 6.15.6-200.fc42 updates kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 6.15.6-200.fc42 updates - Reinstall kernel-core (to at least build the initramfs and the kmod-nvidia ) dnf reinstall kernel-core-6.16.5-\* - Look at the journal for the logs of dracut Ex: journalctl --since -4d -t dracut | less - Look at the log: /var/cache/akmods/nvidia/*.log - If kmod-nvidia fails to install, install it with: dnf install var/cache/akmods/nvidia/kmod-nvidia-6.15.6-*.rpm (or re-run akmods) -- francis -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
