Installing Cuda in Fedora

Hi,

I am trying to get Cuda to work in fedora. I am following this guide here.

However, when trying to install nvidia-kmod I get the following:

Error: Package: 1:kmod-nvidia-3.13.5-202.fc20.x86_64-331.49-1.fc20.4.x86_64 (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have searched on internet for a solution but I cannot find anything useful. If I install akmod instead, I get problem later with incompatible drivers.

Thanks in advance!

http://bit.ly/NAB1Bm : you need to install an updates-testing kernel first:

su -c "yum -y --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel*"
su -c "reboot"
su -c "yum -y install kmod-nvidia"

Thank you for your help, but it did not work at all and now only one screen works.

What did not work - what is the error message? In case of problems with updates-testing kernel - boot the old one.

I have reinstalled it completely, only one screen worked and the resolution was terrible. I got a warning about errors with the kernel. I don't know where it came from but now I have a fresh installation.
