| To answer my own question, I noticed the following in dmesg:
| 
| [   14.950146] NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
| [   14.950149] NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver

Also watch where you change the setting
  /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
for example is probably re-created from the /etc config files in some
situations.

A pain if you ask me!
