fran Comments - Answer Overflow

I have also verified a nvidia-open image on a VM and it at least the correct module was set in /etc/nvidia/kernel.conf, but I'd prefer is someone else could test it out.

Cool, I think it looks a bit rough around the edges though, so any comments are welcome.

That reminded me to change my image to use the bootc-fetch-apply-service instead of rpm-ostreed-automatic

Correct, it was a new ISO built from 42, that's why it worked. I tried upgrading from 41 to 42 with rpm-ostree and, as you said, it did nothing reg the kargs.

Correct. I tried that out and I had to manually add the parameters on a 41 based build. On the other hand, a fresh 42 based install did inject the parameters correctly and I had to do nothing. I think Ublue regenerates the initramfs at the end of the build. Not sure if it's worth though as it seems to be working fine with bootc and there's always their just script to enable nvidia 🤔

I have a lenovo P50 in which the install is borked, so I'm testing with that. If someone else could test the nvidia-open it would be awesome

To be honest I'm just mimicking what Ublue people do when building their images 😅 Are you saying maybe we could get rid of that section in the CLI and just do it in the module directly?

More findings, I've found some comments from you guys talking about using nvidia: true with the akmods module but also saying that it wasn't enabled in the end. Maybe it would be better to just try that out? Add the flag to the module's schema and debug from there? What do you think?

Then I dug into the CLI and found the place where this seems to be happening: module.rs (not a huge Rust expert I must say) and saw quite a few references to basically do the same thing I'm doing in the script. Which is basically pull from the specific image.

Now, I realised there's an issue with the akmods module when using 42 as a base. The CLI breaks because it tries to pull from akmods-extra but, apparently, from 42 that's only available for bazzite and not for base images (based on ublue's repo docs).

I finally had little time to look into this and I have "something" 😅 working. It seem to be able to generate images with what seem to be the correct drivers installed

Now, another doubt I had in mind was: should it be a separate module or would it make sense to extend the existing akmods? @gmpinder any thoughts?

What I had in mind was enabling only what Ublue provides: the Nvidia and Nvidia-open drivers
