Hi, everyone. First off I’d like to thank you all for your support and say that’s it’s highly appreciated as I’m facing a real hard time. I would try to provide as many info as I can regarding to the issue.
I just bought a brand new “Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming” but can’t install the nVidia driver for the “GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile” graphic card in my Fedora 27.
I used to install all the time these nVidia drivers in other computers and laptops, but I can’t make it whatsoever for this laptop.
uname -r
4.15.14-300.fc27.x86_64
lspci |grep -E “VGA|3D”
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] (rev a1)
I haven’t found any option to disable “UEFI Secure Boot” in BIOS. I don’t think this laptop has one. Nor Optimus Technology.
Here is the full “lshw” file (https://pastebin.com/raw/8bjYzaLD), in case it’s necessary to check out.
That’s a summary to what I did (over and over again):
- Format disk and install Fedora 27
- Update all packages and kernel (dnf update --check-updates) and reboot
- Install driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.48.run (for Linux 64-bits) - I followed THOROUGHLY every single step from the awesome and full of details tutorial of “If Not True Then False” - Fedora 36/35/34 NVIDIA [515.65.01 / 510.85.02 / 470.141.03 / 390.154 / 340.108] Drivers Install Guide – If Not True Then False
After the reboot it supposed to start the running perfectly… BUT it displays a black screen forever.
I checked the log Xorg log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log - full here: https://pastebin.com/raw/47H7mLMA) and got this:

Based upon what I just described,
Does anybody know how to fix this issue of “(EE) No devices detected. - (EE) no screens found(EE)”?
If you need any other info, please just let me know.
Your support is highly appreciated. Thanks.
