I have been seeing the same thing you're seeing. I haven't tracked down the cause as of yet. However, after doing the dnf upgrade of the kernel check in /var/cache/akmod and check the log. You may see something like this.... [root@meimei akmods]# tail akmods.log 2015/06/28 18:25:41 akmods: Building and installing nvidia-304xx-kmod 2015/06/28 18:25:41 akmods: Building RPM using the command '/bin/akmodsbuild --target x86_64 --kernels 4.0.6-300.fc22.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-304xx-kmod.latest' 2015/06/28 18:26:00 akmods: Installing newly built rpms 2015/06/28 18:26:01 akmods: Could not install newly built RPMs. You can find them and the logfile 2015/06/28 18:26:01 akmods: 304.125-3.10-for-4.0.6-300.fc22.x86_64.failed.log in /var/cache/akmods/nvidia-304xx/ 2015/06/28 18:26:01 akmods: Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install. 2015/06/28 18:26:01 akmods: You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling 2015/06/28 18:26:01 akmods: '/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root. At this point you have 2 choices. Check the /var/cache/akmods/nvidia-"driver" directory to see if the rpm has actually been built or run the command as a user as shown in the log. In the case above it would be /bin/akmodsbuild --target x86_64 --kernels 4.0.6-300.fc22.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-304xx-kmod.latest and install the resulting rpm. -- Sorta what I want to say when folks habitually complain about Fedora - https://youtu.be/ZArl8fTfub4 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
