Issue
When I list packages that contain nvidia using sudo yum list | grep nvidia I get this list:
libnvidia-container-devel.x86_64 1.3.0-1 libnvidia-container
libnvidia-container-static.x86_64 1.3.0-1 libnvidia-container
libnvidia-container-tools.x86_64 1.3.0-1 libnvidia-container
libnvidia-container1.x86_64 1.3.0-1 libnvidia-container
libnvidia-container1-debuginfo.x86_64 1.3.0-1 libnvidia-container
nvidia-container-runtime.x86_64 3.4.0-1 nvidia-container-runtime
nvidia-container-runtime-hook.x86_64 1.4.0-2 nvidia-container-runtime
nvidia-container-toolkit.x86_64 1.3.0-2 nvidia-container-runtime
nvidia-docker.x86_64 1.0.1-1 nvidia-docker
nvidia-docker2.noarch 2.5.0-1 nvidia-docker
nvidia-query-resource-opengl.x86_64 1.0.0-2.el7 epel
nvidia-query-resource-opengl-lib.x86_64 1.0.0-2.el7 epel
nvidia-texture-tools.x86_64 2.0.8-13.el7 epel
nvidia-texture-tools-devel.x86_64 2.0.8-13.el7 epel
pcp-pmda-nvidia-gpu.x86_64 4.3.2-7.el7_8 updates
As you can see there are multiple packages containing nvidia. I select one, for example nvidia-docker.
Then I try to remove this package using sudo yum remove nvidia-docker or sudo yum remove nvidia-docker.x86_64 but it doesn't work.
The package is not removed. How to remove this package?
My System:
NAME="CentOS Linux" VERSION="7 (Core)" ID="centos" ID_LIKE="rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="7" PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7" HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/"
CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7"
Solution
yum list lists all available packages, while yum list installed only lists installed packages.
So you should try the command yum list installed | grep nvidia.
