Great guide, really. It was certainly most helpful for a filthy Linux noob such as me.

Followed the guide after i have updated fedora 34 , it doesn’t worked !
I got this message:
—————————————–
Failed to run `/usr/sbin/dkms build -m nvidia -v 465.24.02 -k
5.11.14-300.fc34.x86_64`: Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 5.11.14-300.fc34.x86_64 cannot be
found at
/lib/modules/5.11.14-300.fc34.x86_64/build or
/lib/modules/5.11.14-300.fc34.x86_64/source.
You can use the –kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it’s
located.
Right now on Fedora 34 after the update you have no headers for the running kernel by the kernel-devel is for the previous kernel and when you run the default kernel the src/build directories link to a non-existent folder !
No compilation of modules can be done dkms will not work with anything.
Hi chris,
Kernel-devel 5.11.14 should be available, but maybe some reason it wasn’t updated on upgrade process. You can at least install it using following command:
dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/5.11.14/300.fc34/x86_64/kernel-devel-5.11.14-300.fc34.x86_64.rpmThen just reinstall your NVIDIA drivers.
How to solve this? How do i get the kernel header for default kernel?
Hello MD Ali Haider,
Could you tell more about your kernel and header versions?

Hello com,
Kernel 5.12? I can check it, if it’s possible to patch working.
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. It was really useful. Greetings.

You’re welcome! Excellent to hear that you got NVIDIA drivers working!
Hello, since I am using GTX 1650 (Notebook) I had to install the driver with version 418.113. First, I patched it with the method in the other article, then I completed the installation by following this article and I got the “installed” message. No error was displayed. But when I return to “Runlevel 5” again, the “nvidia-settings” command does not work and when I enter the settings, I see that I still use the Intel graphics card. Below are the outputs of the three commands given at the end of the article. Please help me.

Hello Erkin,
Could you post also output of the following command:
Hi,
I followed your guide and installed my nvidia 9400m, 340.108, on fedora 34 and it worked as a charm but i found that the nvidia xserver settings app won’t open anymore, any tips? or something i could have missed?
This was a new installation, not an upgrade or anything.
Thanks for the effort putting it all together. I had to downgrade the c-compiler to make it work, though,
Matthias

Nice to hear that you got it working!
Also
--no-cc-version-checkoption works, when you have compiler which is newer than gcc what was used to compile the currently running kernel.On Fedora 34 with kernel 5.11.17-300:
If you run the installer you will get an error because of a compiler mismatch: the installer needs gcc-11.0.1, but a raw install of fedora 34 after updating and all the commands above will get you gcc 11.1.1
Simply do ‘ dnf install gcc-11.0.1* ‘ before running the Nvidia executable, which will automatically downgrade your gcc to 11.0.1 and run the installer again.
Hopefully it helps anybody who gets an error on the latest version at the current time.
The issue might get resolved very soon, and i don’t think it helps editing the article, but just in case.
Forgot to mention: this is happening with Nvidia driver 465.27
Thanks S,
And yes you are totally right, gcc downgrade is possible option, but maybe easiest workaround this is use –no-cc-version-check NVIDIA installer parameter. Also 5.11.18 Kernel (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1743070) is compiled using gcc 11.1.1.

I have been using you very helpful instructions on Fedora 32 from kernel version 5.9 through 5.11, making use of the patched versions for kernel’s 5.10 and 5.11, most recently with the NVIDIA 390.141 drivers. DKMS stopped updating the modules when the kernel was updated from 5.11.17-100.fc32.x86_64 to 5.11.19-100.fc32.x86_64. I did download the NVIDIA 390.143 drivers and attempted to install them with the following errors:
[from the NVIDIA installer error output]

I also checked for a patched version but did not find one. Is there any was to correct the errors above?
Hi Borealis,
Nice to hear that this have been useful guide for you!
To solve this problem use
--no-cc-version-checkNVIDIA installer option. It should work. Alternatively you can upgrade kernel to 5.11.20 or downgrade gcc.[[email protected] ~]$ nvidia-installer -v |grep version
