RPMFusion and NVIDIA driver problem
by Alessandro Baggi 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi list, I'm on C8.1 and I'm trying to install NVIDIA driver from rpmfusion-nonfree repository but it returns: package kmod-nvidia-3:440.82-2.el8.x86_64 requires kmod-nvidia-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64 >= 3:440.82-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel < 4.18.0-148.el8 needed by kmod-nvidia-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64-3:440.82-2.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) and uname -r returns: 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 Seems that RPMFusion needs an update. Waiting for this there is a way to install this package without fall in problems? Thank you in advance.

fdisk boot partition

I am trying to use CentOS 8 host to boot an image (OS X) that I created using dd. First I tried fdisk -l image_file.img - all looks good so I did fdisk image_file.img - this works - but seems in CentOS 8 fdisk there is no longer a toggle bootable flag option. How do I do that ? Thanks, Jerry

what's the advantage of NetworkManager for server?
by d tbsky 01 Jul '20

Hi: I always use network-scripts to start network at EL7. NetworkManager is not as good as network scripts under that OS. but now EL8 said that network-scripts is depreciated. I wonder if I should still use network-scripts to start network? I am afraid there will be new bugs for the network-scripts, like systemd service unit dependency. although it is solid at EL7.
