KylinOS#

This section covers:

  • KylinOS 10

Preparation#

  1. Perform the Pre-installation Actions.

  2. The kernel headers and development packages for the currently running kernel can be installed with:

    # dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers

  3. Choose an installation method: Local Repository Installation or Network Repository Installation.

Local Repository Installation#

  1. Download the NVIDIA driver:

    $ wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvidia-driver/$version/local_installers/nvidia-driver-local-repo-$distro.$version.$arch.rpm

    where $version is the NVIDIA driver version

  2. Install local repository on file system:

    # rpm --install nvidia-driver-local-repo-$distro.$version*.$arch.rpm

Network Repository Installation#

  1. Enable the network repository. For x86_64:

    # dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/$distro/$arch/cuda-$distro.repo

    For aarch64:

    # dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/$distro/sbsa/cuda-$distro.repo

  2. Clean DNF repository cache:

    # dnf clean expire-cache

Driver Installation#

These instructions apply to both local and network installations.

Module Streams

# dnf module install nvidia-driver:<stream>/<profile>

Open Kernel Modules

# dnf module enable nvidia-driver:open-dkms
# dnf install nvidia-open

  • Example DKMS streams: 580-open or open-dkms

Proprietary Kernel Modules

# dnf module enable nvidia-driver:latest-dkms
# dnf install cuda-drivers

where profile by default is default and does not need to be specified.

  • Example DKMS streams: 580-dkms or latest-dkms

Compute-only (Headless) and Desktop-only (no Compute) Installation#

It’s possible to install the driver without all the desktop components (GL, EGL, Vulkan, X drivers, and so on) to limit the footprint and dependencies on the system. With the same logic it’s possible to install a desktop system without any compute component.

Note

The components excluded at installation time can always be added at a later stage. This will pull in all the additional dependencies required.

Compute-only System#

Open Kernel Modules

# dnf install nvidia-driver-cuda kmod-nvidia-open-dkms

Proprietary Kernel Modules

# dnf install nvidia-driver-cuda kmod-nvidia-latest-dkms

Desktop-only System#

Open Kernel Modules

# dnf install nvidia-driver kmod-nvidia-open-dkms

Proprietary Kernel Modules

# dnf install nvidia-driver kmod-nvidia-latest-dkms

Reboot the System#

# reboot

Perform the Post-installation Actions.
