Yum-config-manager -add-repo=https: //negativo17.org /repos /epel-nvidia.repo yum-config-manager -add-repo=Starting from Fedora 25, the Nvidia software packages are available for installation by default also in Gnome Software. Please note that the driver will show up only if your system matches one of the PCI ID supported by the driver. Otherwise, only the other Nvidia programs (mostly for CUDA development) will show up in the software center. What’s different? First of all the packaging is a lot simplified; more stuff is compiled from source, smaller packages and more options. This packages try to comply as maximum to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines; which means they have debuginfo packages, default Fedora’s GCC compile time options (where possible) and standard locations for binaries, data and docs.
What follows below, is a detailed explanation of all the “differences” from the various Nvidia driver packages that I was able to spot on the web and a detailed description on how to install components, etc. Nvidia drivers Packaging. nvidia-settings, nvidia-persistenced, nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-modprobe are compiled from source. All RPM filters except for GL and OpenCL libraries have been removed, so there is no weird dependency option in the SPEC file. RPM pulls in all correct requirements on its own.
This is to avoid pulling in the Nvidia drivers instead of the Mesa libraries or in place of the new open source OpenCL support that’s in Fedora. Simplified packaging with much simpler and readable SPEC file. Dependency on libva-vdpau-driver. So in Totem, or any other libVA supported application you can benefit from VDPAU acceleration. Sources are generated with a script and inserted individually in the various packages; so it can be easily reproduced just by changing the version and rerunning the script. nvidia-xconfig is not required on anything that uses the modular X.org directives, as it writes too much in the configuration file (keyboards, monitors, etc.) and the required entries should be written in separate configuration files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. The package is still available as it’s required to speed up some configuration like multi-monitor setups with SLI Mosaic enabled from the command line, but not installed by default.
The NVIDIA OpenGL-based Framebuffer Capture (NvFBCOpenGL) libraries (NvFBC and NvIFR) are private APIs that are only available to NVIDIA approved partners for use in remote graphics scenarios (i.e. Steam In-Home Streaming hardware encoding); so they are packaged in another small package called nvidia-driver-NvFBCOpenGL. The nvidia-settings package now builds the external libXNVCtrl.so library that can be used to control the graphic cards through the NV-CONTROL extension. This library updates the old and obsolete one in Fedora based on drivers version 165.
Starting from version 343.13, the nvidia-settings binary is compiled with GTK3 instead of GTK2 on Fedora and RHEL/CentOS 7+. The driver can be installed separately from the nvidia-settings utility, so if you simply want a working driver and do not care about details, your experience should be as close as possible to the one with open source drivers. Versioning.
ELRepo ships 32 bit compatibility libraries in a separate package with x8664 as the architecture and “32bit” in the name. 32 bit libraries should be like in RPMFusion, with an i686 package installable in parallel with the x8664 one. There are no other packages in the distribution that are built for x8664, with “32bit” in their name that contain i686 binaries (!), so Nvidia drivers should not be an exception. So no separate “32bit.x8664” package for 32 bit libraries also on CentOS/RHEL; just install nvidia-driver-libs.i686. Versions are not hidden; all packages have the same driver version.
No alternatives system, only the latest version which integrates CUDA support is available. For older releases nouveau works great; and anything below a GeForce 8xxx it’s in my opinion too low end to play anything modern.
And Quake 3 and Doom 3 work greatly with nouveau, so that’s not a case!. The CentOS/RHEL repository contains the “Long Lived Branch version” where less changes occur; while Fedora repositories contains the “Short Lived Branch version”. Beta CentOS/RHEL and Fedora’s rawhide repositories will contain the “Beta Branch version” CUDA support. CUDA libraries/tools for the driver are split into subpackages.
There’s no need to install all the CUDA libraries and tools on a system that has only one adapter and is used for occasional gaming or for simple office use. This can save 120 MB worth of installed libraries. Nvidia-persistenced falls in this category as it’s not needed on a normal laptop or gaming system. Complete packaged CUDA stack has been added for all supported distributions, all the packages provide/require/obsolete the relevant packages in the; so you can enable this repository along with the official Nvidia CUDA one (x8664 systems only). Kernel modules. Multiple choice of kernel module packages; akmod (RPMFusion) for Fedora and binary kmod (Kernel ABI whitelists) for CentOS/RHEL. In addition to this, on both distributions dkms packages are available.
This way all cases and personal preferences are covered for both distributions. Starting from Nvidia driver version 334.16, the Nvidia DDX driver for X can also rely on the nvidia-modprobe command in the system to create devices and set permissions, so the new optional package has been added. The nvidia module has a soft dependency on the nvidia-uvm module, making sure the module is loaded when installing the nvidia-driver-cuda package, but making sure that these modules are not included in the initrd (thing that would happen with systemd configuration ( module-s-load.d). UDev rules make sure the module has proper permissions. On Fedora, the kernel modules are compressed with XZ, like all the other kernel modules.
Default configuration. Dracut options are depending on the distribution; so no more “vga=normal is an obsolete option” at boot. Each distribution gets its own specific GRUB options for booting. 96 DPI is written in the default xorg.conf config file.
Gnome 3 by defaults hard-codes a 96×96 DPI resolution, most of the free drivers do (intel, nouveau, etc.) as the EDID is almost never reliable (please see the excellent where he explains this). As an example, if you install the Nvidia drivers on a RHEL/CentOS 6 laptop where you used to have nouveau installed (96 DPI hardcoded), the fonts gets 90% of the time supersize and ugly as Gnome 2 and the Nvidia driver do not hard-code 96 DPI like Gnome 3. Make X.org NVIDIA Files section to be loaded latest in case there are other packages providing a custom Files section. Starting from Fedora 21, all driver X.org configuration can be managed by simply adding/removing X.org configuration snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
Use directive on Fedora 21 X.org server 1.16 (and later) to load the driver and do not rely on an edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. This also removes editing of the xorg.conf file from the package scriptlets. This does not hardcode the 96 DPI resolution.
Add the IgnoreABI directive by default on Fedora rawhide builds. Kernel modesetting and Wayland support Kernel mode setting on the nvidia-drm module has been disabled by default for various reasons. First of all, Wayland support in the drivers require a patched Wayland which has been refused upstream, and then the driver itself does not expose an FB driver for the console, so you won’t see any difference in the terminal output, you will still be limited to VGA. There is a for hardware vendors that require to expose extensions for the drivers. The Wayland libraries are still included in the Fedora builds, as all the dependencies are there but they are not used. On CentOS/RHEL 7 packages, they are not included as this would result in missing dependencies. Vulkan support is now part of Fedora, so on supported Fedora releases, the Vulkan loader and libraries can be installed and you do not need to do anything to enable support in the drivers.
CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux do not have Vulkan yet. I’m not sure if it’s worth installing it by default along with the drivers, though. Distribution and Nvidia driver version support Here is a rundown of Nvidia supported drivers and options split by distribution. Basically, CentOS/RHEL will always get a Long Lived branch release if possible, Fedora always a Short Lived branch release, and unreleased distributions will always get a Beta driver. $ sudo dnf install nvidia-settings kernel-devel dkms-nvidia vulkan.i686 nvidia-driver-libs.i686 Last metadata expiration check: 0: 33: 49 ago on Mon Oct 24 14: 14: 30 2016.

There is for this. Specific driver installations For both Fedora and CentOS/RHEL distributions it’s possible to install additional packages and / or variant of the basic kernel modules. This paragraph contains some examples. Make sure you have the repository enabled if you plan to use akmod kernel modules on Fedora or if you plan to use DKMS modules on CentOS/RHEL.

Bugs Just open an issue to the specific package on. Hi Everyone, I noticed a more recent problem with a consistent stuttering across my entire system using the latest Nvidia drivers (384.90) and the latest kernel on Fedora 26 (4.13.4-200). This problem didn’t exhibit itself a couple of weeks ago, although I’m not sure what package updates actually caused it. The stuttering can be seen scrolling on a webpage, watching a youtube video, or even just typing.
It occurs about every 5-10 seconds. I tried to reinstall the older version of the nvidia drivers (384.69) by downgrading using dnf, but I ran into some problems. I wasn’t able to get the kernel module to rebuild, so the next time I logged into Xorg I believe I was actually using Nouveau. I noticed in the Nvidia changelog for 384.90 Nvidia specifically mentions a fix for stuttering, so perhaps this is related? I’m using a GTX 1060 with a Ryzen 1700, so my system specs are fairly good. On Fedora 27 with GTX 1050 Ti GDM and Wayland sessions are causing 100% CPU usage and animations are stuttering (LLVMpipe I guess).

Thanks, –Simone. Hi, sorry for the late reply.
About the driver not working, I reported you back cuda wasn’t working but in fact that was the whole nvidia driver who wasn’t working, nvidia-settings in gnome reports no nvidia driversI think there is a fall back to nouveau On Centos latest (7.4) I don’t get why the Elrepo driver works and your don’t I tried on a blank disk a F26 Install and I can repro 100% what’s hapenning on CentOs, nvidia-modrobe don’t help. The same goes for F27 Do you know an equivalent of Elrepo nvidia drivers for Fedora?
Hello, trying to install nvidia drivers in a VM with VT-d PCI passthrough of the nvidia card. On the host nouveau module is disabled and the VM sees the card.
Also the nvidiadrm module is successfully loaded. When I run $ sudo nvidia-smi I’m getting Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:00:09.0: Unknown Error. And in console I’m getting NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x23:0x56:469) NVRM: rminitadapter failed for device bearing minor number 0 NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x23:0x56:469) NVRM: rminitadapter failed for device bearing minor number 0 This is with akmod-nvidia-384.90-1.fc26.x8664 but same also happens when I install directly with nvidia installer.
Any ideas whether this can be fixed? With Fedora 27 nvidia driver 384.69-1.fc27 and kernel 4.13.2-300.fc27.x8664 i got with akmod an error and its unable to compile the driver 2017/09/20 00:40:28 akmodsbuild: MODPOST 4 modules 2017/09/20 00:40:28 akmodsbuild: FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol ‘lockdepinitmap’ 2017/09/20 00:40:28 akmodsbuild: make2:. scripts/Makefile.modpost:91: modpost Error 1 2017/09/20 00:40:28 akmodsbuild: make1:.

Hi Friends: Unfortunately I’m booted from Windows on my multiboot laptop, so I don’t have access to all of the information that I would normally post. After a ‘dnf -y update’ updated my nvidia collection of RPM to version — 384.69-1.fc25.x8664 — I get the below segmentation fault. Everything was working fine for many months before that update.
I’m running the latest Fedora 25 kernel, which is: 4.12.11-200.fc25.x8664. Note that booting to a previous kernel doesn’t fix the issue. I wish I could do a rpm -qa egrep ‘nvidia xorg‘ to add more information, but I am not booted into Linux to do that. The problem could be with the nvidia driver and/or with the xorg RPMs.
Thank you in advance! Firstly, thank you for this driver packaging.
I’m using releases from NVIDIA’s Vulkan dev branch, and would prefer packages and not a.run file, for whose contents i am not convinced i will ever be able to really remove, or reliably update against. I have little RPM packaging chops, but if there were “shoulders to stand on”, like a packaging framework that knows what to do with a.run file, i might be able to dedicate enough time and succeed. Can any of the work going into these repos be shared? OpenCL not working Hello, I installed this nvidia drivers on fresh EL7.4, on optimus laptop. Everythings works fine, except for OpenCL.
I also installed packages opencl-filesystem and ocl-icd but it doesnt seem to help. I cant get it working in any application. I face the same issue. I do not use nvenc that often so cannot say what could possibly break CUDA. It used to work in F25 when I already was using negativo17 repository.
Also at least a fortnight ago after I upgraded F25 to F26 and installed all the required packages, like nvidia-driver-cuda, which somehow got removed during upgrade, CUDA was working fine (I just quickly verified it using cuda-z). However after installing new kernel 4.12.8 I do see in logs a slight different order of nvidia related entires, some HDA NVidia HDMIs are before the usual loading of nvidia modules. Would be really bizarre that some soundcard loading stuff forbids proper CUDA initialization.
Strangely enough when I booted older kernel 4.12.5 the order of logs is now the same as in 4.12.8. F25 has a problem (Dell T7600) with the latest kernel and nvidia driver. 1) 4.11.12-200.fc25.x8664 always loads nouveau 4.11.11-200.fc25.x8664 works fine 2) nvidia-driver-2:384.59-3.fc25.x8664 Looks like a gnome shell library related issue?
Fresh F26 install X server does not start. (This used to work on F25, but some driver/kernel update broke it in the last 2 months; after lots of troubleshooting I decided to do a fresh install, but alas the problem persists.) Any pointers would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for the reply I’m still having problems; what option/setting do I need in order to change the selection of the Tesla card: (.) OutputClass “nvidia” setting /dev/dri/card0 as PrimaryGPU to the GeForce GTX 970 card (.) OutputClass “nvidia” setting /dev/dri/card1 as PrimaryGPU I tried adding Section “Device” Identifier “Device1” Driver “nvidia” VendorName “NVIDIA Corporation” BusID “PCI:4:0:0” Screen 0 EndSection Section “Screen” Identifier “Screen0” Device “Device1” GPUDevice “Device1” EndSection Section “ServerLayout” Identifier “Layout0” Screen 0 “Screen0” EndSection but no dice. I figured out what I did to keep the nvidia driver from your repo from working on fedora 26 and how to get it working again on my system, but I don’t understand why. I broke it by changing the default plymouth theme from charge to details so that I could see the detailed text boot log and then I rebuilt initrd with: plymouth-set-default-theme details –rebuild-initrd And I figured out that I could fix it with: plymouth-set-default-theme solar –rebuild-initrd Although the solar animations don’t animate quite correctly and the flares jump around so I will probably set it back to the default “charge” theme. What dependencies did I break for the nvidia driver by changing the pymouth theme? Perhaps this dependency should be be mentioned in your excellent installation instructions above? Also, what is the recommended method to switch between intel and nvidia drivers on fedora for those of us who have laptops which hide the BIOS settings to enable and disable the nvidia graphics hardware?
Is an additional grub entry the best way to do it? Thank you for your packaging work on this driver! I have a Dell Precision 5520 with Optimus (Intel/Nvidia GPUs) installed. I have used both of the following to try to install the drivers, but GDM doesn’t seem to be coming up on this Fedora 26 machine: dnf -y install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings kernel-devel and dnf install nvidia-settings kernel-devel dkms-nvidia vulkan.i686 nvidia-driver-libs.i686 (I did a “dnf remove.nvidia.”, of course, in between the two installations to clean things up).
I see the console systemd startup messages after I get the usual Fedora logo at startup, but the startup process never transitions to GDM, even though it does try to start GDM. It looks like some things are happy: dkms status nvidia, 384.59, 4.11.11-300.fc26.x8664, x8664: installed but I also see the following from dmesg: 410.396375 gnome-shell2210: segfault at 28 ip 00007fefc6bcd7e4 sp 00007ffc5a19c3e0 error 4 in libmutter-0.so.0.0.07fefc6b7e000+13a000 From journalctl -r: systemd-coredump2219: Process 2210 (gnome-shell) of user 42 dumped core. I figured out how to resolve the problem. As noted in, the Linux kernel command line should not include nomodeset, but mine did.
I removed nomodeset from /etc/sysconfig/grub and then ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg (See ) to update GRUB 2. With this set properly, GDM comes up without crashing and I can use the laptop just fine with both Gnome 3 (using the Intel drivers and Wayland) and Plasma/KDE (using the proprietary Nvidia drivers and X). Thanks for all the great work to package the drivers and associated software! I have a fresh F26 install on a ASUS F556U notebook. Sorry, too late.
This time, I did install only the basic stuff: $ sudo dnf install nvidia-settings kernel-devel dkms-nvidia But otherwise ended with exactly the same results. I forgot to mention that I also tried uninstalling this driver and installing the one from rpmfusion and got exactly the same result when I try to start KDE. Here is a pastebin of the Xorg log file: The system is fedora 26 with all updates installed.
It did work fine until very recently. For i in $(rpm -ql nvidia-driver-libs.x8664); do strings $i grep nvidia-modprobe /dev/null && echo $i; done /usr/lib64/libnvidia-cfg.so.1 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-cfg.so.384.59 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-eglcore.so.384.59 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glcore.so.384.59 /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glsi.so.384.59 /usr/lib64/vdpau/libvdpaunvidia.so.1 /usr/lib64/vdpau/libvdpaunvidia.so.384.59. So a clean install of Fedora 26 then the negativo17 Nvidia supplied driver actually worked! (No more resume from suspend issues. Unfortunately, no idea where the problem was.
Maybe something left over from Fedora 25 or previous official Nvidia driver install.) And to get Steam working it requires an additional change Nvidia related change via terminal after the negativo17 supplied driver is installed and possibly a reboot (which may break nvidia-settings as that no longer starts). There’s so much fun with Fedora lol.
I just installed the drivers on Fedora 26, but I can’t get to the login screen. I erased rhgb and quiet from grub, and the last message was OK Starting Gnome Display Manager. When I checked /var/log/X.org.0.log, it says LoadModule: “ramdac” Module “ramdac” already built-in NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.

This has been a problem for me since F25, but someone might be able to help me. My AVR is giving out wrong EDID, so I use Option “UseEDID” “FALSE”, and set the “metamodes” in xorg.conf: Section “Screen” Identifier “Screen0” Device “Device0” Monitor “Monitor0” Option “metamodes” “DFP-1: 1920×1080 +0+0” DefaultDepth 24 SubSection “Display” Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection However, I’m not able to manually set the “metamodes”.

Hello Slanesh I successfully installed your repo in fedora 26 and nvidia proprietary drivers in my optimus laptop.
I was able to run Gnome in X11 and Wayland mode. But I dislike gnome and try to install other window managers, like XFCE, Matte, but all of them do not run with your setup. I login in lightdm and the screen stays black without showing nothing. It only works if I remove 10-nvidia.conf and runs in intel driver. Do you know what is happening or how to debug why this is happening? Any help is welcome. I struggle to compile the cuda samples from below amidst looking for cuda-install-samples-8.0.sh in vain.
Thanks for the hint! However, I seem to still be missing s.th. I am trying to compile the julia package knet. Your examples got me past the c errors; however, I am not getting link errors eventhough I am using the -fPIC switch (see below). Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this?. After upgrading to fedora 26 (yes, apparently I did this too soon), I get the login screen(gnome), but when I try to log in it: 1. Under wayland, simply freezes 2.
Under X, kicks me back to the login screen. In journalctl -k -b -1 I see a lot of refs to nouveau and none to nvidia, which I was not expecting, along with some bits that look like errors, such as: kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: Pointer to flat panel table invalid kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: failed to create kernel channel, -22 I can provide more of this output if requested, but it seemed like a lot to dump in a comment.
Note that this system worked just fine using nvidia drivers before upgrade, and had nouveau blacklisted both in grub opts and modprobe.d/blackllist. Any thoughts on how I can correct this issue, or further detail that may be needed to debug?
Sorry for the delayed response. Faults, thanks, that did indeed work.
I had started down this path, but dnf wanted to take a bunch of packages with it (like libreoffice). I was able to narrow down the list by setting most of them to userinstalled, so the reinstall list was more manageable. Note that with the newer cards (I have a 1050ti), you can’t even log in to your DE without the nvidia driver, nouveau seems to have no support yet (last I tried anyway). Not a big deal, you just ssh in or set init 3 and do the reinstall from there, just a note for others.
Possible bug with Fedora 26 Beta + Nvidia driver. I have just installed two (Lenovo + Dell) Fresh 26 Beta installs on Optimus laptop. I haven’t managed to get work neither. 1) Fresh Fedora 26 Beta install 2) dnf update 3) Adding RPMFusion repos 4) Adding Nvidia + Multimedia Negativo17 repo 5) dnf update 6) Installing Nvidia driver: sudo dnf install nvidia-settings kernel-devel dkms-nvidia vulkan.i686 nvidia-driver-libs.i686 7) After reboot Nvidia driver is not loaded. Nouveau works with Xorg, Wayland not start. Sorry for limited information for troubleshooting I will dig deeper tomorrow. I still can’t get wayland to start correctly with fully updated F26.
Can you help me with this problem? Thank you for all the work! I have a desktop running Centos 7 with an i7-3770 that has an integrated GPU and an nVidia GTX980. At the moment I am not using the intel GPU at all (the monitor is attached to the nvidia GPU).
However since this machine is for CUDA development, I would like to use the Intel GPU for displaying the desktop and the nVidia GPU only for compute. I am a little puzzled on how to do that, according to your instructions. My /etc/default/grub file looks like this: GRUBTIMEOUT=5 GRUBDISTRIBUTOR=”$(sed ‘s, release.$,g’ /etc/system-release)” GRUBDEFAULT=saved GRUBDISABLESUBMENU=true GRUBTERMINALOUTPUT=”console” GRUBCMDLINELINUX=”nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=idefix/swap vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=idefix/root vconsole.keymap=us rhgb rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau” GRUBDISABLERECOVERY=”true” GRUBGFXPAYLOADLINUX=text How should I edit this in order to achieve what you are suggesting? Thank you in advance, Andreas.
Sorry to bug you, but I couldn’t find help anywhere else. Gnome won’t start in wayland mode, falls back to x11.
Hey, I have asked this before, but I ask now again about PrimeSync. I have now extremely good change to try out PrimeSync on two different Optimus laptop. One is Lenovo W540 Intel/Quadro and another is brand new Dell Intel/Geforce Pascal. Both has clean Fedora 25 and Negativo17 nvidia Repo added. What should I do for FRESH Fedora 25 to enable PrimeSync.
I can do all sort of testing these as those are not production laptops for while. (I don’t want to break my own laptop again with testing Primesync) ? Thank you. I own an asus k556u laptop with nvidia geforece 940mx card.
WHn i run nvidia-settings i get this: ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system and when i launch games they look awful, as if the driver is not working. Fierce.brake@movil-01 nvidia$ lsmod grep -E -i “nvidia nouveau” nvidiadrm 45056 0 nvidiamodeset 811008 1 nvidiadrm nvidia 11546624 1 nvidiamodeset drmkmshelper 155648 2 i915,nvidiadrm drm 352256 13 i915,nvidiadrm,drmkmshelper fierce.brake@movil-01 nvidia$ dkms status nvidia, 381.22, 4.10.14-200.fc25.x8664, x8664: installed. Actually the KMS support for the Nvidia driver is only for Wayland. There is no console support, the console would still be in text mode.
So plymouth will be no different and would run at VGA resolutions. Unless of course you are on an Optimus laptop, in which case plymouth is running on the KMS console provided by the Intel driver.
File:///usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver/html/kms.html The nvidia-drm module must not be in the intird, or you will have all sort of issues when upgrading the drivers. Anyway, if you want to test on your system, just do the following as root: echo 'option nvidia-drm modeset=1' /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf depmod -a reboot This should allow you to select Wayland from the login screen and see the desktop if you are running on the Nvidia drivers. Please note that this is not stable for everyone at the moment. Well, my experience is: efifb is used at boot.
As soon as a proper drivers is loaded ( intelfb, nouveaufb, mgafb, etc.) the framebuffer is stolen and attached to the new driver. Plymouth runs on that one. I have Korora 25 Gurgle kernel x8664 Linux 4.10.14-200.fc25.x8664 with xfce4 xfwm4 GPU Gallium 0.4 in NV117. I got nvidia-driver 381.22 this morning.
Since this update fan of graphic card is screaming and makes a lot of noise. Speed of fan is constantly changing up and down. When calling Nvidia X Server setting it says: You do not appear to be using nvidia x driver. Please edit yr config file (run nvidia-xconfig as root).
After that no more xfce4 anymore. Then i removed nvidia-driver install completely “dnf remove.nvidia.” and did fresh install “dnf install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings kernel-devel”. This brings back xfce4 with driver 381.22. But fan is still same very noisy and loud.
Going up and down. When calling Nvidia X Server setting it still says: You do not appear to be using nvidia x driver. Please edit yr config file (run nvidia-xconfig as root) again. How to downgrade to driver version before?
Hi negativo, For some reasons, dkms seems unable to build with following result DKMS make.log for nvidia-378.13 for kernel 4.10.5-200.fc25.x8664 (x8664) Sun Mar 26 23:30:10 PDT 2017 Makefile:19: /Kbuild: No such file or directory make:.

I have Optimus Asus Geforce 930M enabled system on Fedora 25. I install your driver and Nvidia GPU is working fine along with “nvidia-smi” from CUDA packages, other options never worked correctly. Now my X11 is on Nvidia GPU, I can see glxgears and everything performing excellent.
Now when I use my laptop on Battery power, how do I switch to Intel Integrated Graphics on your drivers, switcheroo? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance. BTW, Great Work! On Fedora 25, nothing else works. Yours is just perfect. Let me explain, I was on Ubuntu Optimus configuration the other day, you can prime-select to Intel, log out and log back in, and Intel drives the display, the Nvidia module is unloaded.
I was looking for a similar solution in Fedora. For example, when I want to run CUDA apps, I will switch to Nvidia and system will load Nvidia Modules, when I just want lightweight usage, Intel GPU is fine.
Eventhough Nvidia GPU is “powered on”, it will not perform any computation I don’t want to turn either of them off. There is none like that. That is unsupported by both Nvidia and upstream X.org components, it does switch GL libraries on the fly etc. The correct implementation requires GLVND support (so GL libraries on demand) and plain RandR support with Sink offloading. The Ubuntu implementation uses an acpi module derived from Bumblebee that triggers a specific ACPI call per hardware module.
In my latest job that very thing would actually break some systems up to the point that they required a hard reboot to revive the Nvidia card. Even going in the bios settings would not allow you to bring the card back to life.
Ok, so NSIS has most the 64 bit functionality available for their installers. I need to write a registry key to the 64 bit registry on 64 bit machines. I may need to install to Program Files or Program Files (x86).
If on 64 bit workstation you need to install to Program Files (x86) that is done by default because the $PROGRAMFILES constant goes to the Program Files (x86) directory. So a simple solution that should be obvious is to check for something that is on a 64 bit machine that is not on a 32 bit machine. Lets make a list of such differences. Files.
c: Program Files (x86) – Since this is just a folder, it could exist on a 32 bit machine, though that would be unlikely. c: windows SysWow64 Registry key. HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Wow6432Node – This is a 64 bit registry and does not exist in 32 bit operating systems.
So some of these are susceptible to be “faked”. I could see some idiot writing an installer on Windows 7 and hard coding the Program Files (x86) directory so it is installed there even on 32 bit systems. The SysWow64 directory seems more safe and it exists on Vista, Windows 7, and 2008.
I don’t have XP or 2003 64 bit machines so someone can check for me. It seems that the registry key is also likely to be a safe check.
You can check any of these you want. Here is how you would change which registry to work with.
IfFileExists $WINDIR SYSWOW64. Is64bit Is32bit Is32bit: SetRegView 32 GOTO End32Bitvs64BitCheck Is64bit: SetRegView 64 End32Bitvs64BitCheck: That fixes the registry keys. So if you only care about the registry you are fine. However, you software will still install to the Program Files (x86) directory. To fix both, you could place the following code in BOTH the.onInit and the un.onInit functions.; Install to the correct directory on 32 bit or 64 bit machines IfFileExists $WINDIR SYSWOW64. Is64bit Is32bit Is32bit: MessageBox MBOK '32 bit' SetRegView 32 StrCpy $INSTDIR '$PROGRAMFILES32 LANDesk Health Check' GOTO End32Bitvs64BitCheck Is64bit: MessageBox MBOK '64 bit' SetRegView 64 StrCpy $INSTDIR '$PROGRAMFILES64 LANDesk Health Check' End32Bitvs64BitCheck: Don’t forget to comment out the usual place that INSTDIR is configured. Anyway, that seems to work.
