I've installed the

silverblue-nvidia-open

image on a laptop of mine with an RTX Ada workstation GPU (i.e. the Quadro kind). But when I boot it and run

lsmod

, it says the Nvidia driver is not loaded. I'm very confused about this, as I was previously running the Universal Blue

silverblue-nvidia

image without issue. * GNOME Software keeps pestering me about trying to use

akmods

to setup the driver using MOK enrollment on a reboot, but this doesn't work because it can't call

kmodgenca

. But it looks like this is just an artifact of building off of the regular Silverblue, something I don't need to worry about…right? * Running

ujust configure-nvidia

does nothing because

ujust

is not installed. Is that supposed to be the case?

Did you switch directly from a universal blue image? We have

blujust

and have some tasks for MOK enrollment. We sign the kernel and nvidia module, so setting that up should work.

I originally installed plain old Silverblue from Fedora's website, then I rebased to the BlueBuild image immediately

If you're using secure-boot, you'll have to use our key which we include in our base-images including for nvidia drivers

Using

blujust

fixed the problem! I hadn't realized the command had been renamed from

ujust

. 😅 Why is it required though? I thought half the point of this image was that the drivers were baked into the signed kernel so that you didn't need to enroll a new key?

Any kmod added to a system with secure-boot requires it to be signed and accepted by the user

So do you not compile the kernel with the Nvidia drivers inside? I'm sorry I don't know how kernel development works very much. Mostly I'm just curious at this point

We build the Nvidia kernel module, not the kernel itself. We then sign both so that anyone can use secure boot
