Installing

  1. 2. Enabling Rpm Fusion Repository

    Add Rpm Fusion Repo for Oracle GNU/Linux

  2. 3. Installing NVIDIA Driver

    Then to Install NVIDIA Oracle Linux Driver

    First, possibly Check Display Card Model
    And then Search the NVIDIA WebSite for your Card Supporting Drivers

    NVIDIA Driver Searching Page

    Then lookup the available NVIDIA Driver on the Dnf Repository play:

    dnf search akmod-nvidia

    So for the latest Release run:

    sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

    Before to confirm the Transaction Check for the Driver Version on the Shell output:

    Nvidia Driver Release

    But if Not Available the Minimum required Release then see instead: How to Download and Install Latest NVIDIA Generic Linux Driver!
    So currently to Setup the former one:

    sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-470xx

    Instead, for the Legacy ones:

    sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-390xx

    Or again:

    sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-340xx

    And in case if you do Not find in the Repo just the Last then take the Nearest one…
    If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo
    If some Issues then See the Readme file on Bottom…
    And Possibly to Configure the X Server after Setup run:

    nvidia-xconfig

    Last, to Load your barely New Graphics Driver Reboot with:

    sudo reboot
