which reported that it was building and installing nvidia-304xx-kmod, and appeared to exit cleanly after several tens of seconds. Rebooted with the fc23 kernel and all seems fine. > > > I was able to rpmbuild --rebuild the rpmfusion mythtv-0.28-3.fc24 > srpm, > and have it running now.  Strangely, an attempt to update my > earlier > fc22 build of mythtv master failed with qt5 problems. > > John P >
