I run it in a konsole (KDE terminal) tab and see a screenful of data refreshed

doing complex things while in an unfamiliar state. If you boot before then it 
should work, but the action will be more 'under cover'.  Escape should reveal 
more.

For some time now, I've seen another process/user "mandb" running at the same time as or 
after the akmod processes at the end of (sometimes after) "dnf update".  That mandb 
process seems to be slow; it takes a few minutes; yet it uses only one CPU.  I'm guessing it's an 
I/O intensive process, but I don't really know.  It seems that that, too, apparently has to be 
watched to make sure it's done before rebooting.

I believe that if you reboot while mandb or akmod is running its fixed up as 
the system boots.
I do not wait at all after dnf update and i have never seen a problem.
This has been reliable for many years on my experience on multiple systems.
I update approx 8 fedora systems every week like this.

Agreed. It usually works. But if it doesn't there's more to fix, in a more difficult environment. The rpmfusion guide recommends waiting.

/!\ Please remember to wait after the RPM transaction ends, until the kmod get built. This can take up to 5 minutes on some systems.

and this is worth a look too:  https://rpmfusion.org/CommonBugs



There were statements here when, 6.0.5 first caused problems, that the 5-to-6 
transition was simply linux running out of fingers and toes.  I liked the 
image, but the problem was, briefly, real.
