   Dkms Archive for Fedora 33

   Store it in a external Storage Device.

2. 2. Launching Shell Emulator

   Open a Terminal window in Fedora 33
   (Press “Enter” to Execute Commands).

   

   In case first see: Terminal QuickStart Guide.

3. 3. Extracting Dkms Archive

   Then Extract Dkms into /tmp Directory
   Possibly to open it up Double-Click/Right-Click on Package from the File Manager

   
   Or from Command Line:

   cd /[path/2/device]

   tar xvzf *.tar.gz -C /tmp/

4. 4. Downloading Kernel Headers & Source

   So Download the Right kernel-devel & kernel-headers Packages
   First, find out the Kernel Version with:

   uname-r

   Take Note of the Digits prior to “fc33” to searching for the kernel-devel Package!

   Download kernel-devel/kernel-headers for Fedora 33 GNU/Linux

   Get kernel-devel+kernel-headers .rpm Packages

   First, see in the Actual Fedora 33 Repo.
   Or else try on fedora.pkgs.org.
   But in case you do not find an available version the first look: How to Install New Kernel offline.

5. 5. Installing Kernel Headers & Source

   Then to Install Kernel Headers & Source Code
   First, extract the Archive as for the previouse Tools:

   cd /[path/2/device]

   sudo dpkg -ivh kernel*.rpm

6. 6. Installing Packages

   Then to Install Required Packages
   First, access the Target Packages Location:

   cd /tmp/packages

   To Check the Package are there:

   ls | grep dkms

   The grep Command Refine the output List showing only the entries Matching the Keyword.
   Sure, the Group is exceding the needed Setup, so possibly you can remove some unnecessary Packages…
   Then simply play:

   sudo dnf install ./*.rpm

   Or:

   sudo dpkg -ivh ./*.rpm

   Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
   If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.
   Finally, if some dependency is missing you can download it just browsing the Fedora Mirror as for the Kernel in the previous step.
