Re: nVidia driver not loading

Note it is the nVidia driver that is failing, hence I need to do the opposite of what is being suggested. The 'blacklisting' mentioned (I think) is done on the Kernel cmd line rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau and ( I assume, since I didn't change it) is done by the nVidia driver installation? regards On 27 June 2016 at 22:34, Barry Scott <barry(a)barrys-emacs.org&gt; wrote: > >> On 27 Jun 2016, at 01:14, Robin Laing <MeSat(a)TelusPlanet.net&gt; wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> A new machine and I have installed the rpmfusion nVidia akmods but xorg is trying to load module "nv", not "nvidia" according the Xorg.0.log. >> >> Where could the system be trying to load the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver? >> >> nvidia-xorg.conf exists >> >> 99-nvidia.conf exists and points to the correct module directories. >> >> This may be the issue. >> >> modprobe: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Required key not available >> >> How do I add a key to nvidia to load the module? >> >> I need secure boot configured on this machine for Windows 10 and gaming as it is not my computer and will be configured as dual boot. >> >> Robin > > I switch between nvidia and nouveau for testing. > > Here are the steps I use to install the nvidia driver. > (I have no idea why you would need to bother with the black listing stuff). > > Install NVidia closed drivers > > Fist remove open driver: > > dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau > > Install closed driver: > > dnf install akmod-nvidia > reboot > > Barry
