I’m looking for a reliable guide/how-to on installing NVidia drivers for my RTX 2070 within CentOS 8. I have gone through 3 different methods, from NVidia, RPM Fusion and others with very little success.
My end goal is to have a CentOS 8 server w/o GUI, NVidia Drivers and eventually NVidia Docker service installed.
Any help in providing a guide link or comment here is much appreciated.
The default method for rpmfusion packaged driver is to assume a x11 server.
If you have stopped the installation as soon as the X11 components are shown in the yum transaction, then you are doomed.
I would recommend to install the x11 components, but default to headless mode.
We might improve the packaging to better deal with headless/noXorg mode in the future. https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5053
