- by mahmood 
sudo dnf install kmodtool akmods mokutil openssl


sudo kmodgenca -a
sudo mokutil --import /etc/pki/akmods/certs/public_key.der

You will be asked to enter a password, it doesn’t have to be very strong, just make sure to remember it. You’ll only need it once during  these steps.

sudo reboot

After reboot you will see MOK Manager interface and will be asked to enroll the key.
First select “Enroll MOK“.
Then “Continue“.
Hit “Yes” and enter the password.
Then select “OK” and your device will reboot again.

sudo dnf install gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
sudo akmods --force
sudo dracut --force
