Fedora 37/36/35 NVIDIA Drivers Install Guide [530.30.02 / 525.89.02 / 520.56.06 / 515.86.01 / 510.108.03 / 470.161.03 / 390.157 / 340.108] - Comment Page: 105
This is guide, howto install NVIDIA proprietary drivers (manually using .run installer) on Fedora 37/36/35/34/33/32 and disable Nouveau driver. This guide works with GeForce 8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/10/20/30/40 series cards.
GeForce RTX 40 series cards works with 530.xx, 525.xx, 520.xx NVIDIA drivers, (RTX 4090)
GeForce RTX 30 series cards works with 530.xx, 525.xx, 520.xx, 515.xx, 510.xx and 470.xx NVIDIA drivers, (RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX 3070, RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti)
GeForce RTX 20 series cards works with 530.xx, 525.xx, 520.xx, 515.xx, 510.xx and 470.xx NVIDIA drivers (RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080, RTX 2070 Ti, RTX 2070, RTX 2060)
GeForce GT/GTX 600/700/800/900/10 series...
It works with some DKMS issues during installation.
1) type this –
./NVIDIA-Linux*.run –add-this-kernel
2) run custom build, 440.82 for me –
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.82-custom.run
Patched driver 340xx not work on fedora32 and error is bad return status
Kernel 5.6.11-300.fc32
UPDATE for kernel 5.6.11 I guess:
The DKMS installation failed to build some module. (j8?) before that it did warn about a module make unnecessary. “Bad return status” “bad exit status:2”
I tried (as per the prompt suggestion) to install it without DKMS. There was another warning about the CC version mismatch (Driver on 10.0.xx kernel on 10.1.xx IIRC) I ignored the warning and installed anyway. All good outputs. Ran nvidia-smi. Smiled at meeting the expectation.
Really comprehensive guide. Keep up the good work guys!!
(PS: I hope I am alerted on my mail about any follow up comment/remarks :P )
Nice guide,

Any idea?

I use the rpmfusion nvidia packages with nvidia GeForce GT 710 hardware.
I recently upgraded our desktop computers to Fedora 32. Then I came across these instructions. After restoring “splash” to /etc/default/grub, and set plymouth to my favorite (fade-in), I followed your instructions and did “reboot”. The plymouth splash worked the first time on both computers, one of which is dual screen. Thanks for the help.
Successfully Fedora 32 + NVIDIA 440.82

Thank you so much for this perfect set of instructions. I have yet to see any freezes the way I was seeing them (about once per day, lost mouse, lost all keys so no ctrl-alt-del, had to use power supply’s reset button) with nouveau driver.
I have a new drive with f32 just installed on it, so I tried using your good guide.
It looks as if it all worked well:

I did notice that in step 2.6.3, both grub-mkconfig -o commands showed several messages with
“rmdir: failed to remove ‘/var/lib/os-prober/mount’: Device or resource busy”
but I ignored those messages. Does that matter?
Thanks again for your very careful and complete set of instructions.
The patched versions installed without an error. But I see a blank screen on booting into the graphical mode. I am using Macbook Pro Mid 2010 on fresh install(updated) of Fedora 32.

Excelent Material Thanks
Apparently, after a recent dracut update, we must now surround all items on both sides with whitespace, thus
add_drivers+=” nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm ”
install_items+=” /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf ”
After modifying these, I no longer got warnings.
Success!
