nvidia and base image issue
# questions
j
Hello, i've been running into this issue and its very annoying: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/739 . I think I'm using the open kernel modules because 
modinfo -l nvidia
says the license is Dual MIT/GPL. I wanted to switch to the closed source drivers, but I realized that the ublue-os/hwe repo I was using for my base was archived https://github.com/ublue-os/hwe. Is there a recommended way to install the closed source nvidia drivers? I noticed the thread about an nvidia installer module but thats not ready yet. Also, what should i use as my base image now that 
ghcr.io/ublue-os/silverblue-nvidia
is archived?
j
Afaik the closed source drivers are basically discontinued and don't work for newer fedora versions anymore. That's why ublue doesn't ship them anymore
j
im pretty sure it started happening once i upgraded to f42, which is weird. this issue is so annoying so hopefully they fix it soon 😭
j
I personally haven't heard that the -nvidia images are discontinued, I think they're just built somewhere else now
But you'd have to ask that in the ublue server in #1084120222400774325
j
im guessing they forgot to link the ghcr repo to the new github repo
ok im tripping now it links to main instead of hwe
j
No you're right,. The image itself links to the hwe repo
Here
j
oh wait i copied the silverblue-main url instead of nvidia lol...
ill ask them rn about it
j
I was just about to ask (since I also use an -nvidia image) lol, but you go
I had the same issue recently btw, it fixes itself when you relog or open the TUI and then go back the the GUI. Not sure if this is a thing in Gnome as well, but the KDE shortcut is ctrl+alt+3 and then ctrl+alt+2
j
usually ctrl+alt+3/2 works for me when something bad crashes, but for some reason even that doesnt work
j
Ok interesting
j
some people mentioned 575 might fix the issue, so hopefully that gets released soon on fedora
j
Maybe it has gotten worse again. I've had this off and on for the last half year or so and have become a bit desanitized 😅
My next card is definitely going to be amd tho
j
😭 😭 😭 thats pretty bad
yeah
the issue was opened in november which is crazy
j
The thing is it is super random
j
yeah this seems like a debugging nightmare
f
I think that's just the legacy ones, not the proprietary
Yeah, so basically 
silverblue-main-nvidia
ships with the open kernel as you said
If you want to use ublue's 
silverblue-main
images, have a look at my nvidia recipe and try it out. I'm using that to update the akmods module, but lacking time right now to finish it 😅
You'll just need the script step at the beginning of the recipe and that should be it
Now, take into account that you must use 42 as a base so that the installer adds the right kargs when installing. If not, you'll need to use 
ujust
command to fix Nvidia drivers
(or add the kargs manually)
