Fedora WS. I want to continue using an older version of Oobabooga Textgen WebUI, but the 6.6 kernel build of the Nvidia open source module with the x86 UEFI shim breaks compatibility with one of the Python *Blas packages.

Now I need to figure out how to build the kernel module for a distrobox (podman(docker)) container. Is that even possible when I do not have the ability to set my own UEFI boot lock keys in the factory bootloader?

I’m not 100% positive this machine has the right hardware MUX for running the Nvidia GPU independent of the Intel integrated GPU (laptop) but I really wish I could run the 3080TI completely independent of the display. I only use it for AI.

The documentation for everything Nvidia on Fedora is a mess of outdated info and the information Nvidia provides is all wrong and downright malicious in my experience.

Has anyone gone through this recently or can help me fast track?

    No.

    Now regarding your actual problem, more than likely you are overthinking the issue. Either you are explicitly hitting a bug, possibly check fedora discussions, or another issue like broken libraries most likely. Does Fedora have offer an LTS kernel package? I’d try that and if that doesn’t work post logs to show what is happening. I am assuming it worked before on this machine.

      They don’t and it’s insane.
