nvidia-ctk requires run after kernel/akmod update

[ahmed-alhindawi]

Hello,

When working with podman on fedora and using nvidia GPU using the CDI backend, everytime the kernel is updated or the driver is updated, nvidia-ctk cdi generate ... to be required to be re-run for the CDI container to find the appropriate libraries.

Is this a fedora issue or would it be possible to have a hook to run this command automatically once the kernel module is rebuilt?

@ahmed-alhindawi this is a known issue. We are working on improving the UX around this.

I have to run it after every reboot on a fresh fedora 41. I'm uncertain of this whole flow tbh. Or what I'm doing wrong. I'm missing /dev/nvidia-uvm until I "generate" below.

I just run both of these even though the files persist.
nvidia-ctk config default > /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/config.toml
nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml
