How to install

Troubleshooting common issues

• Black screen after install - ensure Nouveau is disabled and the NVIDIA module built:
  • Check build status: sudo akmods -force && sudo dracut --force
  • Reboot. If Secure Boot is on, sign the module or disable Secure Boot temporarily.
• Driver not loading after kernel update - rebuild akmods:
  • sudo dnf install -y kernel-devel akmods
  • sudo akmods -force; sudo dracut --force; sudo reboot
• Wayland session issues - switch to Xorg at login or update to the latest driver. On GDM, pick “GNOME on Xorg”.
• Missing CUDA libraries - install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda from RPM Fusion.
• Header mismatch - make sure the running kernel matches installed headers:
  • uname -r and rpm -q kernel-devel should refer to the same version.
