Subject: Fwd: fedora 35 nvidia rpms under 515.x
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2022 20:24:06 +0200
Hi,
Earlier I requested help regarding an earlier Nvidia driver to my
Fedora 35 that stopped working for Da Vinci Resolve SW after an update
around late July.
Since that time there were 2 Nvidia driver update in rpmfusion and
problem remaiend the same. I reported issue to Blackmagic (DaVinci
Resolve software written by them) but they could not help actually.
So I decided to remove the rpmfusion related packages and install
driver from Nvidia using the .run file.
And the same version worked fine.
I made an attempt to remove nvidia and reinstall rpmfusion --> stopped
working.
Then removed rpmfusion and install .run from nvidia --> works fine.
So it looks like to me there is a problem with the nvidia package since
mid/late July 2022 as far as the DaVinci Resovle sw concerned.
Many thanks for the earlier help.
I hope my feedback helps somehow.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Zoltan Hanko

Hi,
Since my last email there were 2 new nvidia drivers via rpmfusion and
neither solved the issue.
Currently rpmfusion is somehere at 515.76 and still does not work.
(~Cause crash during DaVinci resolve start, this used to work until
515.57 if I'm correc or maybe a bit earlier version)
On the other hand I got confirmation this driver works with DaVinci
resolve video edit sw.
So I decided to remove the rpmfusion related rpm packages from my
Fedora 35 and install the most recent nvidia driver NVIDIA-Linux-
x86_64-515.76.run.
- I issued: dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\*
- Then installed the same nvidia package (downloaded from
nvidia.com).
RESULT: And my Da Vinci Resolve sw stared fine.
- Then I did a cross-check. Removed nvidia (sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-
x86_64-515.76.run --uninstall)
- Re-installed from RPM fusion: sudo dnf install kmod-nvidia.
RESULT: DaVinci Resovle no longer was able to start.
Then removed again the rpmfusion packages (see command above) and
installed via the NVIDIA provided .sh file (sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-
x86_64-515.76.run)
RESULT: DaVincit Resolve starts again fine.
During the test above I was making sure the nvidia driver had been
removed from memory.
So it seems the current rpmfusion nvidia rpm package has some bug as at
least DaVinci Resolve video editing sw 17.4.3 is going to crash when
detecting video cards. This is not happening when I install driver
directly from
Nvida.com via the .sh file installation.

Zoltan Hanko

2 weeks ago, when RPMfusion's 515 driver was not released yet. As the
RPMfusion driver's version was trailing behind, I decided to risk
installing nvidia's official driver but without running the .run
installer. I found that repo.
There is no concept of stay behind with our current nvidia packaging
scheme as you will always be able to fetch the driver from rawhide if
your need the very utter newer version.
But keep in mind that 515xx was hold in f36 for a reason that you
might or might not have experienced...
