Known Issues and Workarounds

DKMS Packages after Fedora Upgrade

After a Fedora version upgrade, all system76-dkms packages must be reinstalled:

sudo dnf remove system76*dkms
sudo dnf install system76-dkms system76-io-dkms system76-acpi-dkms

Important: Do not use dnf reinstall as it will break the installation.

Reboot Required After Updates

After updating system76-dkms packages, a reboot is required. In some cases, you may need to use the power button to complete the reboot as Fedora may stop showing the 'Rebooting' information.

Audio on Oryx Pro (oryp7)

USB headsets work out of the box, but onboard speakers may not. Add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/system76-oryp7.conf to resolve:

options snd-hda-intel model=clevo-p950

Note: This provides headphones and speaker audio, but headset microphones may not work. Source

Touchpad Gesture Navigation

On Fedora 34 + GNOME 40, these packages may break touchpad gesture navigation (issue reported 2021-05-04).

Secure Boot Compatibility

The system76-firmware package does not work on systems with Secure Boot enabled. Issue link

NVIDIA Users Guide

Using Negativo17 Drivers

To avoid conflicts between System76 tools and RPM Fusion NVIDIA drivers, add exclusions to RPM Fusion repositories before installing Negativo17 drivers:

1. Add exclusions to RPM Fusion repositories:

   Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree.repo and add the exclusion line to the main section:

   [rpmfusion-nonfree]
   # Other existing content...
   excludepkgs=*nvidia* akmod-nvidia* kmod-nvidia* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*
   
   

   Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo and add the same exclusion line to the main section:

   [rpmfusion-nonfree-updates]
   # Other existing content...
   excludepkgs=*nvidia* akmod-nvidia* kmod-nvidia* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*
   
   

2. Add Negativo17 NVIDIA repository (choose one method):

   Method A - Using curl (works with any DNF version):

   sudo curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-nvidia.repo https://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-nvidia.repo
   
   

   Method B - Using DNF 5 config-manager:

   sudo dnf5 config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-nvidia.repo
   
   

3. Remove any existing NVIDIA packages:

   sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\*
   
   

4. Install Negativo17 NVIDIA drivers:

   sudo dnf install nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-cuda nvidia-settings
   
   # Reboot
   sudo reboot
   
   

Steam Users: Additional Libraries

For Steam and 32-bit game compatibility, install 32-bit libraries:

sudo dnf install nvidia-driver-libs.i686

Graphics Mode Management

# Check current graphics mode
system76-power graphics

# Switch to integrated graphics (better battery life)
sudo system76-power graphics integrated

# Switch to NVIDIA graphics (better performance)
sudo system76-power graphics nvidia

# Switch to hybrid graphics (balance of performance and battery)
sudo system76-power graphics hybrid

A reboot is recommended after switching graphics modes.
