We have seen such error and have moved the update back into
updates-testing for now.
Best is to debug using ssh remotly we'd like to have a full
nvidia-bug-report.sh to send to nvidia support forum
Hopefully there will be a new updated package from nvidia, we will
need testers at that time..
Thx for your report.
I have been trying to get nouveau working, so far without success. But
I've also looked at the builds from scrpms, in which dnf reports
conflicts between the libvdpau_nvidia.so and .so.1 files from the 304
and 340 lib packages, which are both required. ISTR something similar
in atrpms long ago.
