how to install nvidia drivers on fedora 36

The most recent attempt was to install the rpmfusion packages and - hallelujah! - I have a loaded Nvidia 520.56.06 driver - it’s the Fedora 36-era driver. run file from Nvidia which generated 5 fatal errors because (somehow) the drivers it was trying to install via dkms were apparently already installed in initramd (on a fresh install?). I’ve made 3 attempts at getting a working Nvidia driver. (It’s a really nice laptop BTW: i7 12700H, 32GB, 1TB, aforementioned 3050Ti).īy default the nouveau driver was installed but it generatesd a ton of abrt bug reports on logging in I had one hard hang and several crashes of Firefox: nouveau was implicated in every one. It came with Windows 11 home but, naturally, I’ve slapped Linux on it: Fedora 37 after Debian - my usual preference - and Ubuntu 22.10 both had difficulties running the Live ISO.Īnyway, I have Fedora 37 installed and it’s all going tickety-boo, except as you may have guessed for the Nvidia driver for the RTX 3050 Ti. I’ve had a shiny new Dell 9520/XPS 15' laptop for about a week (thanks Santa!).
