@@TheLinuxITGuy Literally I've been going crazy trying to install NVIDIA drivers that work on a new laptop. Yours was the only one that worked. I believe because it was picking up the Intel's integrated Graphics and not letting Rocky to install those packages correctly. Aaanyway thanks a lot for this one and the 9.3 one that has Davinci includeed!
Thats great ! We installed Rocky at work on 9 machines, your script will save us a lot of time. Thanks ! Btw, 'nouveau' is a french word meaning 'new', and should be pronounced phonetically like "nuvo" or "noovo" ;-)
@@TheLinuxITGuy Yeah!! I have no luck installing it on my actual PC. It works pretty well in VMware. Do you know if I need to install without Security Boot? after installing nvidia drive, is not able to recognize nvidia-smi command, and after setting up KDE it stuck on black screen with prompt blinking, but without option to login.
Thank you! As a new user I couldn't have gotten all this on my own. One request. In the future would you be so kind as to clear screen so what you type is on top? This way when we pause the video what commands you're typing isn't blocked by TH-cams pause menu. My goal for this is Davinci resolve mainly and general web browsing. I guess I still need windows for quicken.
Great idea! I’m always looking for ways to make the video clearer and more concise. This helps with that. I appreciate it. Check out the 9.3 video for DaVinci.
Hey, Nice video. Steam on Rocky is Flatpak base and not dnf? Still considering Rocky as a go to Distro for work. Not sure about KDE yet. Wonder how Wacom works there with mapping keys and monitors. What is your opinion on Rocky? Is that kernel 5.14 not to old or is it custom one from Rocky community? Also if i would prefer Gnome env. All i need is to install Workstation option and after that i can use Nvidia script?
@@TheLinuxITGuy i am looking for a distro for work purposes in mind. I am using Blender, Davinci and Krita i also have substance Painter on Steam. So i would pick distro based on performance of those software's.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have just tried this and it failed when I got to the reboot after the nvidia driver install script. It just hangs with the three dots on screen and will not boot to be able to log in and add the kde desktop. I have an Nvidia 1060ti and ryzen processor. Phil
@TheLinuxITGuy your channel is such a help. This is the first time I have been able to get a Linux system and Davinci Resolve working so well. I wants to ask if I install a sofyware called Paragon Ntfs for Linux and i updates the kernel - would I then need to reinstall the nvidia drivers?
Thanks so much for making this video, was looking forward to it after the 9.3 one! I am however running into a problem. When I get to the desktop and search for nvidia-smi, I get the message "NIVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running." Any idea on what to do?
@@tripleaaadelayed give this a read: forums.rockylinux.org/t/nvidia-drivers-on-rocky-linux/12366 The script (step 3) uses the Nvidia official repo method.
@@TheLinuxITGuy Thanks. Were you thinking the "Troubleshooting nvidia repo drivers" section might help? That section states: "If you find that nouveau and the nvidia driver are at odds with each other, you may need to add blacklists with grubby." If I understand that correctly, I have to make sure the nouveau drivers are being blacklisted to ensure Rocky uses the nvidia driver? I tried running the two commands (grubby and sed) by entering them through the Rocky 9.4 desktop terminal. Not sure they did anything - I still get the same error. FYI: This particular machine has two other hard drives in it... one running Linux Mint and the other Windows 11. Mint is my main OS. Are there additional steps that should be followed in the case of a multi OS machine? Thank you!
The tutorial worked for me on my Nvidia laptop, but the only issue I'm encountering is that some elements on the display sometimes flickers all around when I move the mouse cursor (window scroll bar, thumbnails, etc.)
Oh, it most definitely did. I initially installed a much different version of Rocky Linux (the non-DVD version with GUI) and trying to get all the Nvidia drivers was a tedious task, so your tutorial helped the most here 😅
@@TheLinuxITGuy I hope you can help. I removed vivaldi and now all I get is repository vivaldi is listed more than once in the configuration if I try and reinstall. been searching for an answer for well over an hour and am lost. thanks!
Will this work on a Debian KDE system to get nvidia working on it? My nvidia card does not work in Linux mint or LMDA, I’ve tried to get it to work for 2 years, Rocky Linux with your scripts is the 1st time it works. Would like to get it working on Mint, any help is appreciated. Thank you for suck a great video!
You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful. This won’t work for Linux Mint. Linux Mint should be much easier. Boot in compatibility mode, install, use nouveau driver until you can select your Nvidia driver.

The script is based off the Nvidia official repo method.
When rebooting the system do i need to unplug the usb?
After the GUI install you can. Thanks for watching.
This is awesome. Is it possible to rather use Gnome?
Replace step 4 with: sudo dnf groupinstall "Server with GUI"

I'm still having trouble trying to blacklist the nouveau drivers. If you could make a video of that process, I'd greatly appreciate it.
The tutorial worked for me on my Nvidia laptop, but the only issue I'm encountering is that some elements on the display sometimes flickers all around when I move the mouse cursor (window scroll bar, thumbnails, etc.)
