Also, as this is a non-free package from RPM Fusion, this discussion would be better to have there. :)

But to add to what Samuel said, sometimes there are changes to the kernel that require updated packages from Nvidia or we maintainers at RPM Fusion patch it. That can take a few days to a week. Until then just boot the previous kernel.


Well, if you have the akmod-nvidia installed the needed drivers will be compiled and installed locally.

No need to wait.


So technically, it's correct that there's no need to wait.
As is Richard's statement that in those cases you just boot
to the previous kernel for a few days until things get
sorted. :)


Well, I went ahead and tried it. Kernel is 5.5, the nvidia package was compiled and lspci -k says that the nvidia driver is being used. And, so far, it all appears to be working...

Thanks for all the help and advice.
