Uninstalling/reinstalling nvidia

1

I think I need to uninstall nvidia and re-install it again, in order to detect the nvidia with new kernel.
I mostly installed nvidia with dnf,

mokutil --sb-state
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
sudo dnf install
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-next-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel9/$(uname -i)/cuda-rhel9.repo

sudo dnf install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) kernel-devel-$(uname -r) tar bzip2 make automake gcc gcc-c++ pciutils elfutils-libelf-devel libglvnd-opengl libglvnd-glx libglvnd-devel acpid pkgconfig dkms

sudo dnf module install nvidia-driver:latest-dkms

is there any reference to uninstall it?

And the result of nvidia-smi is as:
(Also after unistall/reinstall of nvidia-driver)
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

HI,
I have the same problem as you ! I’m stuck on integrating NVIDIA RTX3080 drivers CUDA on almalinux 9.5 for a small local LLM project on DELL T340 server, RTX3080 gpu . I want using GPU CUDA !
my display works with the Matrox VGA motherboard of the DELL server. But unfortunately the NVIDIA card without the functional drivers cannot work even in pure Cuda calculation! The card does not respond; no active cooling … !
I’ve tried many installation modes and settings (Wiki almalinux, web comments about, Direct Nvidia drivers, …) Always at the same point the driver is present but inactive! and the same error as you nvidia-smi .
