ERROR: Unable to load the ‘nvidia-drm’ kernel module on Fedora 35, Quadro P520

I am trying to install nVidia drivers on my Fedora 35 laptop. The install fails with the error message:

ERROR: Unable to load the ‘nvidia-drm’ kernel module

I have tried:

  • disabling SE linux, setting SE linux to permissive mode, and downgrading the SE linux policy (suggestions from older forums)
  • using both the production (470.94) and “new feature” (495.46) versions of the driver
  • manually loading using “modprobe nvidia” (This was suggested in the nVidia README). This results in the error: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Key was rejected by service

The last few lines of the installer log contains:

-> Installing 'NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64' (495.46):
   executing: '/usr/sbin/ldconfig'...
   executing: '/usr/bin/systemctl daemon-reload'...
-> done.
-> Driver file installation is complete.
-> Installing DKMS kernel module:
-> done.
ERROR: Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.

I have attached the full log file from [nvidia-bug-report.log.gz|attachment](upload://k6uWIwNff5n0YPqEsdgvRTA4Flk.gz) (87.9 KB)

Please try disabling secure boot in bios.
Furthermore, better install the driver from repo, not runfile installer.

Disabling secure boot solved the problem.

Thank you!
