Akmod-nvidia fails to build on Fedora with Linux 5.8 #69

Hello! I have no good understanding of how akmod works but I know at least that it needs the kernel headers and devel (not sure about this one). Have your friend made sure that the three RPM packets got properly installed ? Can you tell him to do |
|
I've got the same issue as your friend. The log file in the screenshot is the exact same, but mine is in english. Here's the log file in english: And here is the output from |
|
Thanks @aukuste ! Can you join |
|
@AdelKS The contents of that file path is what is written in the first code block in my first message, so the last line of the log just references itself. |
|
Oh got it! Thanks. |
|
Hello @aukuste, can you attach what's in |
|
@AdelKS |

Can you run this command manually and see what it gives ? Basically what is done automatically but with the akmodsbuild --kernels 5.8.9_tkg_upds+ --verbose /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-kmod.latestUse EDIT: Oh maybe it's missing the akmodsbuild --kernels 5.8.9_tkg_upds+-1 --verbose /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-kmod.latest |

Crazy, it doesn't give any useful information, have you tried with the extra |
|
|
And what do you have in |
|
|
Okay, I unfortunately have no idea on what to do for now. Maybe someone else has an idea 🤔 |

@AdelKS Unsure if it is related, but ever since installing the kernel-devel package for the tkg kernel, kernel-devel packages for the regular kernels (is mainline kernel the correct term?) haven't been able to install because of some sort of conflict with the tkg kernel-devel package apparantly. Here's a snippet from my daily dnf upgrade (note the error text at the top of the output): And when adding --best --allowerasing to the dnf upgrade command, I simply get the same error message that was at the top of the previous command: I find it very odd that the kernel-devel-5.8.10-200.fc32.x86_64 package is blocked from installing because of kernel-devel-5.8.9_tkg_upds+-1.x86_64. Surely that can't be right? They're different kernel versions. For now I've removed the kernel-devel package for the tkg kernel since I would like to actually be able to build the nvidia driver for the regular mainline kernels. |
|
Yea well apparently we can't keep more than one Also, I forgot how bleeding edge fedora is even though I have used it for years, I ended up thinking they trail behind for the updates just like Ubuntu. But they actually are as up to date as rolling releases, I wonder why they don't move to a rolling release way. |
|
Ah ok, well that's interesting that you can't keep more than one kernel-devel package. I'll see if I can figure out myself why the akmod-nvidia driver won't build using the tkg kernel-devel, though I've got zero experience with any of this. |
|
Unfortunately I have zero knowledge about this stuff too. I tried to lookup this problem the interwebs but nothing useful came up, though a more thorough search can be done! My problem is that |
Indeed. The error log sure isn't very useful. |
|
The problem is how AKMOD manages the drivers, they are not the drivers themselves, uninstall AKMOD-NVIDIA and install NVIDIA manually with DKMS and it works very well. |
|
Ah thank you. I'll test that tomorrow and report back with results. |
|
@iWeaker4you I tried it just now and it worked perfectly. I removed the akmod-nvidia package and installed the nvidia drivers using the official installer and the tkg kernel works perfectly now. This is the guide I followed https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/ for anyone wanting to do the same as I did. Thank you very much for the suggestion. |

Glad you could fix it! This issue can be considered solved :D |
I leave a capture of the error that is appearing to me when I compile with the kernel, something is related to "mockbuild" or that the package does not have "description kmod-nvidia-5.8.9_tkg_pds"
I am not familiar with Fedora regarding how it handles its driver system.
@AdelKS what do you thing about that?
