nvidia kernel modules and drivers for F20

[Brady, Mike]

I ran into this a couple of weeks ago. I think that something was broken 
in the repos for a short period.

What you should have as of last week (I think).  I do not have access to 
my fc20 machine at the moment to check. There should not be any 340xx 
packages.
rpm -⁠qa | grep -⁠i nvidia
xorg-⁠x11-⁠drv-⁠nvidia-⁠libs-⁠331.113-⁠2.fc20.x86_64
kmod-⁠nvidia-⁠3.18.6-⁠100.fc20.x86_64-⁠331.113-⁠1.fc20.4.x86_64
akmod-⁠nvidia-⁠331.113-⁠1.fc20.x86_64
xorg-⁠x11-⁠drv-⁠nvidia-⁠331.113-⁠2.fc20.x86_64


Do
yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-340.65-4.fc20.x86_64 
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.65-4.fc20.x86_64

The yum erase will remove a bunch of nvidia packages, so they need to be 
reinstalled.
yum install xorg-⁠x11-⁠drv-⁠nvidia-⁠libs xorg-⁠x11-⁠drv-⁠nvidia
yum install akmod-⁠nvidia "kernel-⁠devel-⁠uname-⁠r == $(uname -⁠r)"

Regards

Mike
