I was having this problem as well. But there were some recent changes and even though the rpm isn't getting installed during the "dnf update" phase as long as I have akmods-shutdown.service enabled the rpm gets rebuilt and installed during the reboot. -- It seems most people that say they are "done talking about it" never really are until given the last word. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
