Used grubby to set the default kernel to 6.7.11, and ran akmods, so not BOINC sees the nvidia and is able to use the GPU... 26183873 Apr 2 12:52 kmod-nvidia-470xx-6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64-470.223.02-2.fc39.x86_ 64.rpm 14360178 Apr 2 12:52 470.223.02-2-for-6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64.log 614649 Apr 10 15:32 470.223.02-2-for-6.8.4-200.fc39.x86_64.failed.log 616385 Apr 15 01:02 470.223.02-2-for-6.8.5-201.fc39.x86_64.failed.log Now Acer notebook is running 6.7.11 kernel that works with the rpmfusing nvidia. uname -a Linux kevinacer.dyndns.org 6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Mar 27 16:50:39 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /tmp/BOINC-output | grep GPU 15-Apr-2024 08:54:02 [---] CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (driver version 470.99, CUDA version 11.4, compute capability 3.0, 2000MB, 2000MB available, 730 GFLOPS peak) 15-Apr-2024 08:54:02 [---] OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (driver version 470.223.02, device version OpenCL 3.0 CUDA, 2000MB, 2000MB available, 730 GFLOPS peak) So, not sure why it works with 6.7.x but not with 6.8.x.
