A short while ago, I did my weekly patches. After rebooting, only one monitor is displaying anything, and then with a large, wide font. I saw no indication of trouble during the "dnf upgrade". The boot messages go by fast, but I think I saw something about a missing module, and nouveau being used.
I'm not a sys.admin., and the display is very limited. What's the cause of these problems, and how do I fix things?
Try running "sudo akmods" and see if there are any errors.
I've rebooted to the previous kernel. Does that matter? Running under that older kernel, I get this:
-bash.1[~]: akmods Checking kmods exist for 6.5.10-200.fc38.x86_64 [ OK ] Building and installing nvidia-470xx-kmod [FAILED] Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/nvidia-470xx/470.223.02-1-for-6.5.10-200.fc38.x86_64.failed.log for details
Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install. You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling '/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

- Do I need to re-do this under the new kernel?
- Should I do what the output above says?

In my earlier reply to Samuel, my questions were vague. I was intending to ask if it mattered whether I ran "akmods" with the new kernel or the older one. I booted back into the newest kernel (installed by the "dnf upgrade" run around midday today) and reran the "akmods". Here is the output: ------ -bash.1[~]: akmods Checking kmods exist for 6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64 [ OK ] Building and installing nvidia-470xx-kmod [FAILED] Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/nvidia-470xx/470.223.02-1-for-6.5.12-200.fc38.x86_64.failed.log for details

-bash.2[~]: ------ Before today's patches, the "dnf upgrade" handled everything, including the kernel and the nvidia-470xx. Also, I do not reboot after the "dnf upgrade" until about a minute after I see on ksysguard that the compiling of the driver is done. If I do the "/usr/sbin/akmods --force" suggested by "akmods", will that mess up future handling of kernel and nvidia-470xx by "dnf upgrade"? I hope y'all understand that I do not want to mess that up! In my earlier reply to Samuel, my questions were vague
