Installing intel vTune issue
Hey everyone, i added the intel vtune repo and installed the package, but its not anywhere on my machine. when i do
rpm -qa | grep intel-oneapi-vtune, it shows up, and when i try to do rpm-ostree install intel-oneapi-vtune, it says error: "intel-oneapi-vtune" is already provided by: intel-oneapi-vtune-2025.3.0-15.x86_64. Use --allow-inactive to explicitly require it.
But when I try to uninstall it, i get error: Package/capability 'intel-oneapi-vtune' is not currently requested. anyone know how to fix this?Solution:Jump to solution
This might be a package that installs into
/opt. You'll want to use the optfix part of the dnf or rpm-ostree module13 Replies

This might be a package that installs into
/opt. You'll want to use the optfix part of the dnf or rpm-ostree moduleYou'd need to know the name of the directory it creates
oh yeah it is
ill give
optfix a tryWhat is vtune?
profiler for c++, rust and other languages
its pretty powerful, im using it in a distrobox rn but it also has some special kernel driver which makes it better
i wonder if you could detect if a package is trying to use
/opt and warn about it
or maybe its already doing that and i missed itI was just thinking about that, maybe even looking into possibly fixing it automatically
We already have a systemd unit to recreate the symlinks
I know rpm -qi <package name> gives all the directories the package uses
Maybe you could use that, I have no idea how feasible it is lol
like, in a list
?
if so, smthn like "rpm -qi package | grep /opt" might work
idk what the nushell equivalent would be
I think it would be something like rpm -qi package | find —regex “^/opt”
i would probably split the output by row and filter the resulting list, but regex of course works always too
Regex 🥰🥰😍😍🔥💪💪
It makes it easy to make sure /opt isn’t somewhere in the middle
rpm -qi package | grep '^/opt'so ive run into another issue... the vtune kernel driver isnt signed. it looks like if i have
kernel-devel installed and symlink it to the directory that intel looks for (it looks for /usr/src/linux-<version> but fedora puts it in /usr/src/kernels/linux-<version>), it will automatically build the kernel drivers. i was wondering what the best way would be to sign the drivers myself and install them in my blue-build image. intel provides a script to load the drivers on boot but im guessing that wont work on silverblue.
