For both the downloaded .run driver and the repo install I did:
blacklist nouveau by creating /etc/modprobe/blacklist-nouveau.conf containing:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
Run systemctl set-default multi-user.target and reboot
Install the drivers by running the .run binary or through from the repo with dnf
Run systemctl set-default graphical.target and reboot
At this stage, I get a black screen before the login page. When I switch to a TTY session, I get a blinking white line at the top of the screen and I can’t do anything. This happens for both installation methods.
I’ve tried all that I could find online, but haven’t been able to make any progress towards resolving the issue. I ran the nvidia bug report after installing the drivers from the downloaded .run binary, and have attached it. nvidia-bug-report.log.gz.log (1.1 MB)
Thanks for the reply generix. I’ll have to re-install and check later today (had to reset the system to nouveau so I can work).
I did save this from dmesg when I last tried the install (forgot I’d saved this):
I sshed into the machine when the black screen was showing, and this was at the bottom of the dmesg output. I can’t remember how exactly, but I was able to get this message output again if I restarted X. It was either through running systemctl restart systemd-logind or by killing the xorg process and running startx.
I was at a loss as to how to troubleshoot gnome-shell.
