nvidia and kernel 5.5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fedora Workstation 31

I was doing a dnf upgrade (which I aborted), when I got the message:

Removing dependent packages:
 kmod-nvidia-5.4.18-200.fc31.x86_64  x86_64  3:440.59-1.fc31    @@commandline  30 M

I assume this package is dependent on kernel 5.4 and the dnf upgrade includes kernel 5.5.

So, I did

[simon@hedgehog ~]$ dnf list kmod-nvidia*

kmod-nvidia.x86_64                           3:440.59-1.fc31   rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver

Now, the kmod-nvidia package says that it is a meta-package to ensure the nvidia module(s) for the newest kernel.

So, my questions are:

1.  Should I remove the installed nvidia packages and replace them with the meta-package?
2.  Does the 'dnf list' imply that the nvidia packages for kernel 5.5 are not ready yet?
3.  I don't want to upgrade the kernel until the nvidia package is available.  What's the best way to monitor that?

Thanks,

Simon
