The driver must be blacklisted on two places, when the initramfs loads and during the fedora 28 systemd booting.
You can download NVIDIA End User License Agreement, too.Ĭlick on download again to begin downloading the installation file. Click on “Download”.Ĭlick on download again to begin downloading the installation file. Infromation for the NVIDIA display driver. Select your video card and click on “Search”, we selected GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.Ĭlick on the top driver, which is not “beta”. So at the end you get a file ~]$ ls -al NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.67.run Here is the NVIDIA search driver page –, just find the card you own and download the driver. STEP 3) Download the official NVIDIA installer application At first best way is to become root with ~]$ sudo ~]$ dnf -y ~]$ ~]$ dnf -y install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc dkms acpid libglvnd-glx libglvnd-opengl libglvnd-devel pkgconfig
So you do not have to worry if you update your kernel.
Then install the dependencies for the NVIDIA driverĭKMS is used for building the NVIDIA kernel module when a new kernel is installed. It is probably disabled if you use Linux, but it could be enabled if you use signed kernel, so it is good to check this settings because your driver won’t run if this feature is enabled. You should disabled it or after a successful installation of the kernel module you must sign it, which is not the goal of this howto. Here are the steps to install NVIDIA proprietary driver on Fedora 28: STEP 1) Disable UEFI Secure BootĬheck in your BIOS if this feature is enabled. input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=9 as ~]$ cat /proc/modules |grep nouveau Our test system is equipped with ASUS ROG Poseidon GeForce® GTX 1080 TI 11GB Platinum Edition by default here is the linux kernel ~]$ lspci |grep -i nvidiaĠa:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 (rev a1)Ġa:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 HDMI Audio Controller (rev ~]$ dmesg|grep -i nvidia Fedora 28 comes with open source driver for NVIDIA cards, so you’ll get a decent and stable driver for your video, but without hardware acceleration and a machine not good for gaming like Steam, not good for scientific usage or crypt mining! In fact in recent open source versions (called nouveau) of the NVIDIA driver some cards got partial hardware acceleration, but most of the latest cards out there still need the proprietary driver!
