What package do I need to install for my Nvidia card
Hello, I have read part of the https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA guide to know how to install proprietary drivers for my Nvidia card. My laptop comes with a regular Intel Graphics card alongside an Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M card. I am on Fedora 36, Gnome (Wayland). I don't want to mess up my system, so I just want to ask; what is the simplest procedure install drivers for this card on my system? When these drivers are installed, will I still be able to do regular work with my Intel card and launch specific applications (games) with the Nvidia card? My card supports CUDA and Optimus. Do I need to disable Secure Boot? Note: I have already enabled the free and non-free RPM fusion repositores. I know there is a specific rpmfusion Nvidia driver repository, do I need that also? ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Now, at bootup I am getting some errors (still, these were present before installing the new drivers, less I think) related to nouveau: https://pastebin.com/VFwQBbEq I also think I saw some other message regarding power management at bootup but it is not contained in the above paste from dmesg. Is there a way for me to test if my card has been properly installed and the driver is in use? How do I know which card is used for normal computing and what card is used for specific applications? Note: Gnome has an option to "Launch using discrete graphics card" when right clicking on any app installed. thanks for your help. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
Re: What package do I need to install for my Nvidia card
So now I have noticed at boot time I am getting a message about "NVIDIA kernel module missing, falling back to Nouveau". I think I have Secure Boot enabled, could this be why it didn't work? I have now followed the instructions in: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Secure%20Boot And I think I went through the whole process of importing the key (Im not sure I did everything right). If I have now imported the key correctly, do I need to reinstall those packages to get the driver to work? What do I need to do now to get the driver to load? thanks for your help, ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

how to change environment variable permanently
hello, I would like to change the $PATH environment variable permanently, to be able to execute a program more quickly. I have tried adding a new line: export PATH=$PATH:/my/path , to my .bashrc . When I log in again, I see that $PATH is now: $PATH:/my/path/:/my/path, my directory has been appended twice. I don't know exactly what the "export" command actually does, so I am lost here. thanks for your help. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Thanks George. I know I can create a Gnome launcher to do this, but thats not really what I wanted. In Gnome, alt-F2 will open a little window that lets me issue a command line instruction (like executing a program), I like that, its fast and easy. I like the idea of just adding a symbolic link to ~/bin, that path is in my $PATH variable but the folder doesn't exist, yet. > Once your linux usage moves beyond web browsing it is important to > master some > basic command-line/shell tools.

Hello Barry, I tried looking in dmesg but cannot find anything mentioning edid. I'm not sure this would help me. Detection appears to be working fine when I boot with the monitor connected. It does not do the nice detection when I connect the monitor after logging in. Dmesg would not show me anything that happens after login right?

laptop remains on after closing lid
Hello, I have been experiencing an issue on sporadic occasions. Having worked on my laptop, I close the lid and expect it to suspend. An hour later I open the lid, I see that it is on (not suspended) and am shown a black screen and the laptop is smoking hot (really hot). I hard shutdown turns the system off (havent tried any other way to get the system working because the temperature is so high I get scared, I dont really remember if the fans were on at this point, although I believe they are not because the temperature is really high). This has happened a few times, but is not happening always. How can I test suspend action when laptop lid is closed? How can I test the laptop lid close sensor is working? What can I do if this happens again? Is there a way to log temperatures to make sure the system is shutting down when high temperatures are reached?

I have mine so that suspend is disabled when the lid is close but in place I have this script started up in rc.local: Thanks for that Roger. I actually do want it to suspend. As I said in my op, the laptop has a heavy display, I dont think under any circumstance the display should be ON, even if it is blank. Some day I wil learn more about scripting in linux, seems like fun. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Yes, I have considered that. When I open the laptop again, it is smoking hot and the screen is on but black. I am not sure if it is black because the heat switched it to that state or because the laptop is simply stuck and it never performed the suspend. The first thing I considered was that the switch for lid closing was not working, but that doesnt fully explain why the laptop is stuck when I open it again (unless the freeze is caused by the heat). thank you, ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
