I am not able to install akmod-nvidia drivers on Fedora 25. Is there a
certain way it has to be done now that xwayland is being used.

I haven't yet done anything with F25.
However, I will say that even not having used F25 you've not supplied sufficient
information for anyone to make a guess as to what may be the issue.
errors on install? installed but not working in some way?

It is hard to give information on something that is not working at all.
It will not boot after installation therefore there is no way to give
information. I am not that tech savvy so if there is a way to get the
information needed to find out what is wrong, I stand ready to receive
any help you may provide to resolve this problem. Thanks for responding
to this email.

When you install akmods it needs to build the corresponding kmods for the kernel. Did
you
give it sufficient time to so so?
When you installed akmods, did you check to see if there was a
/var/cache/akmods/akmod.log
file?

It does not allow you to get that far. The screen is blank.

I'm talking about before a reboot.
You have a working system to start, right?
You then run "dnf" to install, right? And you screen isn't blank at that
point is it? It
is at that point, before you reboot, that you should check the logs.
3:13 a.m.
Okay. I understand. Will try that approach. Thanks again for your help.
In the morning. I am going to bed now. :-)

Sounds good. It is only 11:20AM in my part of the world.
FWIW, you may see something like this in the akmods.log
2016/10/16 14:05:05 akmods: Building and installing nvidia-kmod
2016/10/16 14:05:05 akmods: Building RPM using the command '/sbin/akmodsbuild
--target
x86_64 --kernels 4.7.7-200.fc24.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-kmod.latest'
2016/10/16 14:06:34 akmods: Installing newly built rpms
2016/10/16 14:06:34 akmods: DNF detected
2016/10/16 14:06:52 akmods: Successful.
The most important thing is "Successful" which means the nvidia-kmod package has
been
built and successfully installed.
I've not down an install of a "fresh" system in a long time. I think that
on the first
install it does check if an nvidia-kmod package exists for all installed kernels. So, if
you have more than one kernel installed it will take a longer time for the process to
complete.

honestly: why do you then combine a *non released* Fedora version with a
binary driver not supported by kernel upstream?
you should get rid of one part

I'm not an expert in this but I do follow the nvidia driver development
thread a bit. My understanding is that the current release of the
driver dose not work well with Xwayland.

I'm not sure if the above link is of any relevance. I'm holding off
going to Fedora 25 until Nvidia and the wayland folk are happy.
Cheers. Steve.

Thank you for your concern in this matter. I believe you are right. The
nvidia drivers are always an issue in Linux. Be glad when linux can
improve their nouveau drivers so that we won't need to deal with nvidia.
I am running Fedora 25 and it is working very well except for the nvidia
drivers. I use the Vmware Workstation and it will not run properly
without the nvidia drivers. Other than that, Fedora is nice.
