Nvidia rocky 10 guide

[pkjack]

Hey Tom, thanks for that… i actually found a you tube video of someone who made a script ( mainly for davinci resolve video editing software on 10 ) but he always done a script for NVIDIA.. looks promising for someone like me who is still new to Linux

RPM Fusion is working, as well as installing direct from the Nvidia’s RHEL10 repo. Elrepo is currently broken.

These are the steps for RPM Fusion if you’re on a a modern card:

sudo dnf install -y \
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-10.noarch.rpm \
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-10.noarch.rpm

sudo dnf install -y akmods kernel-devel
sudo dnf install -y akmod-nvidia-open xorg-x11-drv-nvidia

great thanks for that!

Hi - what’s the trick to make this work on a machine with EFI secure boot enabled?
Is there an older driver set available? Do I just wait a while for a signed driver to appear somewhere? Thanks

Depends on whose kernel module one does use.

• NVidia’s prebuilt modules are/were signed by NVidia’s key
• Supposedly there are also modules prebuilt by NVidia, but signed with Red Hat’s key
• ELRepo signs the modules that they build with their own key
• Modules (from NVidia’s repo) that dkms builds on your machine are signed with /var/lib/dkms/mok.key
• No idea what akmod does

One has to import third party key into UEFI. For example:

mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub

(and reboot into “complete the import” procedure)

Akmods provide a key here:

$ ll /etc/pki/akmods/
total 16
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   1416 Dec 26  2023 cacert.config
-rw-r-----. 1 root akmods 1548 Dec 10  2024 cacert.config.in
drwxr-x---. 2 root akmods 4096 Dec 10  2024 certs
drwxr-x---. 2 root akmods 4096 Dec 10  2024 private

you can enroll with the mokutil, which you would have to use with any non distro created keys.
