I thought the akmod version of the nvidia driver was the version that was compiled every time the kernel version was changed, is that not the case?On Jul 5, 2022, at 18:55, Stephen Morris <samorris@netspace.net.au> wrote:[ 13.973636] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.It’s this line where the kernel notes why it is tainted. Somewhere in the nvidia kmod C code, there is a line that looks like this:
MODULE_LICENSE("NVIDIA");
The kernel will print out the aforementioned kernel message if it isn’t one of the open licenses defined in the kernel. There’s more about tainted kernels here:
There are a variety of reasons why the kernel would be tainted, but in this case it is because a proprietary kernel module was loaded. It doesn’t have anything to do with signed kernel modules or secure boot.
