Description Andrew Ferrazzutti 2015-01-20 15:44:22 UTC
Description of problem: After installing the legacy akmod-nvidia-340xx package from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing for Fedora 21, all required kmods aren't automatically created on reboot. Instead, akmods --force must be executed.


How reproducible: Always, as long as the machine being tested has a graphics card compatible with the akmod-nvidia-340xx package.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories for Fedora 21.
2. Execute "yum install akmod-nvidia-340xx.x86_64 --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing".
3. Reboot into a graphical session.

Actual results: Graphics drivers will not be loaded and the graphical login will fail. If using Gnome 3, a "Oops! Something went wrong" error screen will appear.


Expected results: A graphical login using newly-installed drivers should succeed.

Wrong component and project.  This bugzilla component is for the module-init-tools replacement and has nothing to do with kmod kernel packages.  Fedora doesn't provide or support kmod kernel module packages, so you need to report this to whichever repo you got them from.

Sorry, I misread the RPM Fusion site's instructions on bugposting. Thanks for the pointers!
