I have two linux systems with Nvidia GeForce cards in them. Fedora39 and Arch 24.03.01.
Ever since the 6.6.x kernels, my nvidia drivers have failed to install. Not a real big deal, it just falls back to Nouveau.
I figured I would research it later. I have secure boot enabled on both distro's.
After fighting with this for a while, I gave up on the vendor packages, and I decided to download the drivers straight from
the nvidia website. As it was going through the install, it said I signed_module_security enabled in my kernel.
It said I wouldn't be able to install unsigned libraries. So I have it "self-sign" them with nvidia's signing keys.
I figured they were "good enough". But no, after it attempts to install them, it says because I have secure boot enabled
it can't install the keys. So I go into the UEFI and disable secure boot.
Sure enough, I can install the nvidia drivers now. So I disable it on my Fedora system also. I reinstall the nvidia packages rpms
from rpmfusion... and everything works.
I didn't even need the nvidia run file, I was able to install the regular rpms. I don't know if anyone else has ever run into this.
