Thanks for letting us know! Works on my end. A nit exists which hopefully will be fixed in the future. On my system, closing system apps like Settings and System Monitor hangs and must be forced closed. It is a good start.
Thank you. That was very helpful.
Well further testing on my system indicates numerous closure issues. If I open a file manager window, it hangs on closing and brings me back to a login screen. I noticed that the extensions option was disabled after a couple of closings. Be cautious with this first run on 10.
so what steps did u take? no issues here using the r10 rpm fusion
I ended up removing the drivers for now. It just is not that critical for me. Throwing me back to the login screen was the show stopper. I did not check but I assume gdm is restarting. Being a first run rpm, I decided to just wait. Originally when I ran the .run file prior to the RL10 driver, I saw indications of the same closure issues. Next try I may do a little more debugging of the issue but unfortunately, during the week I just do not have time as this system is in use.
That can happen when gnome shell crashes, you should see entries in the log at the exact time it happened.

whats your setup, lapop - desktop - nvidia?
This worked for me after updating kernels and whatnot. I just asked chatgpt since modules are gone now in RHEL 10. Using the RPM fusion repos. My system is a Ryzen CPU as well if it matters.
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-10.noarch.rpm
https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-10.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
Remove/disable Nouveau (if needed)
sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args=“rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1”
reboot
I only had one monitor in low resolution before, and both were working in 4K after.

sudo grubby --args=“nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau” --update-kernel=ALL
and i used a bunch of NVIDIA reg options to enable gen3 pcie as it wasn’t enabling via the OS. i do this on nixos fedora and rocky
I saying all that, i’ll definitely be using negativo17 repo as it performs much better then rpm fusions
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/params
Just made a fresh install of RL10 and got stuck with nvidia drivers. Modules still don’t work despite nvidia repo is up with rhel10 packages and the official RL10 doc page regarding nvidia drivers seems to be only a copy/paste from RL9.
Any guide that is more up to date to follow? Which of the approaches mentioned above seems to be working best?
At what point is it failing. Are using the drivers from nvidia or rpmfusioin?
Regards Tom.
FYI - ELRepo has NVIDIA kmods (currently 580.82.97) in the elrepo-testing repo.

Wow.. ok what did u use to update to 580x
Not sure what you mean by “what did u use to update to 580x”? I updated our NVIDIA kmods to properly support Wayland.
So simply dnf update?
dnf --enablerepo elrepo-testing install kmod-nvidia
or “kmod-nvidia-open” (if you have a Turing or later GPU)
UPDATE: Corrected missing dash
Gtx1650 is my card not sure whether it’s a Turing card?
Yes, the GTX 16 Series and RTX 20 Series are Turing GPUs.
FWIW we have an nvidia-detect utility that lets you know what kmod to use based on your GPU.
oh nice, where do i find that
