Old story :-( See: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2569

There is perhaps a trace in the journal for akmods@KERNEL.service or
in the logs under /var/cache/akmods

Good.

I have also validated the akmods-shutdown service that recompiles (if
needed) all the kmods for all the kernels at shutdown. I don't care to
loose a few minutes when rebooting since I do that only every two or 3
weeks after a full update.

Aha!  'akmods' was installed, but fails to run, reporting a missing 
dependency--'kernel-devel'! So, every time the kernel is updated, the 
build of the nvidia module fails (silently, as far as I can see).


Having installed that, akmods now happily builds the nvidia module and 
the system boots and uses it.


Thank you, Francis.

Please provide more logs for debugging by:

I'll take a look.

Working - Re: F28/Xfce - mirror display broken after update

Not sure what magic did it, but it is working...

Strange for sure.

I have tried all sorts of fiddling with advanced options, but nothing

Re: F28 - dnf proble with hplip

I had a similar problem on my wife's computer with CUPS. It wouldn't even
update with --best --allowerasing.

I ended up doing a "rpm -e --nodeps ..." on all the cups packages until the
conflict cleared. The strange part was "dnf install cups" wouldn't work. No
output after loading the metadata.

"dnf list" would show the cups package as available but it was colored
slightly blue. I still don't know what that means but it refused to install
it. I finally resorted to pulling the package directly from koji.

Thanks,
Richard

Is this recent or an 'old problem' that I missed?

Not going to do an update with a new kernel, requiring a reboot when there is a 
new
hplip in the works.


This was noted last week.  Seems as if the needed package hasn't been pushed 
from testing
to stable.  Blame the time of year?

dnf --best --allowerasing --enablerepo=updates-testing update hplip



It was net-snmp-libs that is hung up still in testing...
