fedora35 kernel 5.18+ may need some patch for nvidia driver 390.151 (May 16, 2022).
This is a very well put together tutorial.
Worked like a charm on Fedora 36.
Hope you’ll update it in the future for next Fedora releases.
Thank you good sir :)
Thank you silviu!
Thank you for your work.
Please tell me how to open a “Run a Command” modal window on Fedora 36
Hi Sergey,
Press ALT+F2 to open “Run a command”.
If you exclude the kernel from fedora/updates repositories, the next command `dnf install kernel-devel` will fail.
hi.
why i have this error on fedora 36 during nvidia dkms compilation?

Sorry, my mistake. I am did not comply instructions.
Hi JR,
Is there a way I can avoid (in run level 3) having to rerun
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.151-patched-kernel-5.18.run
when a new kernel is installed?
nvidia-installer -v | grep version responds with
nvidia-installer: version 390.151 ([email protected]) Wed Apr 20
and uname -a responds with
Linux anna 5.18.13-200.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jul 22 14:03:36 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and lspci | grep -E “VGA|3D” responds with
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] (rev a1)
It’s not a big deal, but I was just wondering. The reboot fails whenever I’ve previouly run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.151-patched-kernel-5.18.run (skipping any DKMS options).
Thanks. Otherwise everything works like a charm.
Getting an error:

There is no package called linux-headers but kernel-headers.
I do not know how to solve this, can you please help me?

Hi Max,
Disable secure boot or sign your kernel modules.

Thanks David, just signed packages. Some reason signing was failed earlier.
Your custom repository is missing a package: kernel-srpm-macros. Because it is being filtered form the regular Fedora repo, one cannot install python2.7 package.
How to fix this ? I cannot install gimp becouse of that I need kernel-srpm-macros, redhat-rpm-config, python2.7, pygtk2
You can temporarily enable Fedora repos to install kernel-srpm-macros, or more permanent solution is use following exclude lines on dnf repo files:
Worked Flawless, Such a great guide !! Kudos you whomever is behind in making this.

is it possible to use your kernel repo with rpmfusion akmod drivers to achieve sleepmode with wayland?
Yes it should work with rpmfusion too.
Working on Laptop Dell Vostro 3500 (2010), i5 1th gen M520, GPU Nvidia 310m. Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I got screenshot ready to share. Your script and the patched kernels works 100% in this Dino-laptop.
Hi JR,
Any response to my previous note of 7/24/22? It’s still behaving that way whenever the kernel gets upgraded, so I have to re-run (in run level 3)
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.151-patched-kernel-5.18.run
Thanks for any thoughts,
— Peter
Oh, my bad. I had neglected to realize that 390.151 had been updated to 390.154 as of August 2, 2022. So I switched to 390.154, and probably now my question becomes irrelevant. Hence, never mind about my question.
Hello Peter,
If you still have problems with automatic NVIDIA module rebuilding, then please check output of following command:
followed the steps, but I ran into an unexpected error installing the nVidia .run file indicating I was missing source files? Sorry, still a Linux Learner, so I get stuck pretty quickly if a step-by-step doesn’t work as expected.
