Or maybe install 6.1.5 and use that? I've just checked on my system and the kernel-headers for 6.1.7 are indeed missing, but the nvidia driver on my system appears to be being used via akmod potentially because I have the kernel-devel packages installed which does exist for 6.1.7. regards, Steve

Hi, I just update from F35 to F37 and everything is fine except I noticed that instead of the Nvidia from RPMFusion it is using nouveau. In fact the nvidia module is missing and wasn't built by akmod. I think the problem is that it started with kernel 6.1.7 which is very recent but it seems it's missing the kernel-headers -the most recent in the repositories is 6.1.5- and akmod needs that. There is something strange going on or I just should wait for the headers to appear? Or maybe install 6.1.5 and use that?

Or maybe install 6.1.5 and use that? The headers are only updated when the kernel interface changes now. This has been the case for many releases of fedora. What I am saying is that the problem is not the headers, so you can eliminate it from your list of possibilities.

You can look at the log of the build and check it for errors.

If you have the RPM build sucessfully and installed then its something else that is stopping this working. What is the version of hardware that you have? Is this the correct driver for your hardware? Does https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA have anything to help?
