Thank you, @catt , for taking time to share this!
I DO have nvidia-container-toolkit installed on my desktop from the nvidia-container-toolkit repo. I’m definitely NOT a CUDA developer, but I was using this to run local LLMs on this desktop.
When I set up this desktop in 2024, there were THREE different ways to set up NVIDIA GPUs (aargh!!!), and no one seemed to agree on the best solution. IIRC, I started with Nouveau first before quickly switching because NVIDIA seemed committed to making everything work nicely on Linux.
I’ve had things working pretty nicely, aside from having to rebuild some stuff after every upgrade, till my machine started crashing repeatedly after I upgraded to Fedora 43.
My XFCE desktop hasn’t crashed since I installed it yesterday (hooray!), so I’m happy enough now but will consider other approaches (starting with the one you mention here) if my needs change or my current setup starts crashing as my GNOME setup has been.
Cheers,
James
