Description karl kleinpaste 2021-11-17 14:14:54 CET 
Lack of the management library, NVML (libnvidia-ml.so), precludes monitoring of GPU stats. The driver packaged at nvidia's own repo (https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/) includes NVML but rpmfusion's update and packaging habits are preferred. It would be appreciated if NVML could be included in rpmfusion's packaging.

Sample error messages from software wanting this:

Can't load NVML library, dlopen(2): failed to load libnvidia-ml.so, libnvidia-ml.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
NVML error, code 12
Can't initialize NVML. GPU monitoring will be disabled.

NVML is disabled. You won't see GPUs stats.
Temperature limit option won't work without NVML enabled.

(driver 470 in f34.)

I don't intend to push the fix to f34 for some time, try


cd /usr/lib64/
sudo ln -sf libnvidia-ml.so.1 libnvidia-ml.so
