@wolfone88 basic question...did you install the nvidia based image?
LYes, I did
LFair question, as I'm a complete Linux noob, but I did read the installation guide and I did choose the Nvidia image
LThat's exactly what I want to achieve
UI would check to see if you have Secureboot active in the BIOS. I THINK the Nvidia driver might need to be signed if it's active
LDisabled that already
UDamn
LAlthough I did not reinstall after disabling, is that necessary?
UAs a mere user, I'm running out of quick hits here!
UMaybe?
LI did try to search for an answer and I saw an user with the same issue a few weeks ago here in the discord but didn't find out if they solved it
LAlso I think THINK that actually the video card is recognised and works after the system finishes loading. I did try running a game and it seemed to work. How can I check if it's running with up to date drivers?
UWhat does "modinfo -F version nvidia" return at a command prompt?
L535.129.03
USo that means it loaded the kernel module
LSo why the error?
UIt could be that your initramfs doesn't have the proper driver since that was built when you still had secureboot on
LIt must have loaded the module AFTER the error
UAnd then once the system gets going, it can load the module properly
LOk how do I rebuild it?
USo, with a regular ol' Linux, you can fire off a command
UWith Bazzite, since it's immutable...I'll defer to someone who knows it better than me
UAnd this is just my working theory
UI could be full of shit
LWell thanks for the help anyway
LAs long as it works I can definitely ignore the error message and you helped me verify that.
LAlso another thing I noticed
LIf I go into the system information tab in the os gui it doesn't actually say i have a Nvidia card
LBut it says I have an Intel integrated graphics card. Which I do, but I don't think it should show up as default
Uit looks like if you fire off "rpm-ostree initramfs --enable" then the system will do it every time it generates a new update
UYeah, that's...not great
UYou may want to think about disabling that in the BIOS (which has some risk) and POSSIBLY doing a reinstall from scratch now that secureboot is off
LIf it helps I have an xmg Fusion 15 laptop
UDepending on how much you've set up already
LAnd no I thought of that already but I can't seems to disable the igpu from the bios
UTHAT being said, you're most likely using the proper card because it did load the module. What game did you launch and would it have laughed at the integrated card?
LYeah definitely I tried Control
LSo it would have melted the integrated card
UAt this point, you need to decide "do I tweak to try and fix or nuke from orbit?"
UAnd it seems like the error message is not a big deal
LI have a question before I can answer that
UMy old nerd friend Paul would coach me "it's Linux. Try and fix it, so you learn. Nuking is the Windows way"
LCan I do the reinstall from scratch without losing my user data? I downloaded 300 gigs of games already so it would be annoying to do it again
UI don't think so
LThen fix it is
UTo try and remove the error, I wouold try the "rpm-ostree initramfs --enable" command. And then use "just update"
LOk doing it right now
UWarning - rebuilding the initramfs can take a LONG TIME. 15 minutes or more
UDepending on your hardware
LYeah I remember it taking a bit of time during install
UIf the GUI is up and seems to be just not doing a lot, hit Escape and see if there is a message about "refreshing hardware" or something. I forget the actual lingo
