| Summary | 0001318: Provide headless version of nvidia driver | ||||
| Description | In a server environment the nvidia driver is often used for computing purpose/CUDA only (AI, video processing,...) so a working X11 environment is not neccessary Ubuntu provides a headless version of the nvidia driver: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia-headless&searchon=names For systems in DoD environments which need to comply to DISA Stig, installed X11 trigger a warning https://www.stigviewer.com/stig/red_hat_enterprise_linux_8/2022-09-07/finding/V-230553 It would be nice to have a headless driver that does not pull in x11 dependencies | ||||

Sorry, we have no plans to provide a headless version of the driver as this would require building duplicate versions without the Requires linking to the X11 driver package. As a not very clean workaround, you can force install kmod-nvidia without the Xorg dependencies that you do not want, or build your own dummy rpm package to 'provide' these missing dependencies, which will keep yum/dnf happy. Closing as won't fix. |
