It should work with recent builds of grub2 and os-prober, but you will
need to re-generate grub config with grub2-mkconfig.

Success :)

Not sure if setting an administrator password in the UEFI BIOS utility
was necessary, but changing the Secure boot setting from "Windows
UEFI" to "Other OS" did the trick.

Now to figure out why my Windows installation is not being recognised
by grub. Also, I have an EFI partition (210MB in size) at the
beginning of my hard drive, but when F21 installed, it created another
EFI partition in the middle of the drive (immediately before the F21
installation partitions and immediately after my Windows partitions).
Im thinking these two things are related?

 How to manually install NVIDIA graphics driver

 using yum or dnf (I prefer dnf so I will use that)

 #dnf clean all
 #dnf update
 #dnf install gcc kernel-devel dkms

 download NVIDIA driver from nvidia.com and cd to the download
directory
 #chmod +x NVIDIA-XXX.run (the NVIDIA driver, for instance 
 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-343.13.run)

 #vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistconf and insert a line with text 
 "blacklist nouveau" (without quotes)
 #vi /etc/sysconfig/grub and insert this text 
 "rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau" (without quotes) and the end
 of the line beginning with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= making sure the text
is 
 inside the last quotation mark

 #grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

 #dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86x_64 (this is 64bit driver - if
you 
 have a 32bit operating system it will be 32bit driver)

 #reboot

 When you are in grub and the and your operating system kernel is 
 highlighted as the one you are booting to press the "e" on the
keyboard 
 to edit the line
 Then at the end of this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= still inside

 the ending quotes insert this text "init 3" (without quotes)
 press F10 to reboot

 you should then come to a command prompt where you log on as a root
user
 cd to the download directory where the NVIDIA driver located
 #./NVIDIA-XXX.run (for instance ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-343.13.run)
 The NVIDIA installer will start
 Accept the license agreement
 Install 32 bit compatibility (if you are on a 64bit machine)
 Choose to automatically update nvidia-xconfig-utility

 reboot and log into graphical mode or from command line using root
init 5

 Hope this helps

You can't use the binary NVidia drivers with secure boot enabled because 
they won't be signed with the right key (most likely not signed at all).

Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning

2014-11-13 Thread Bidski 


 
Sorry for my lack of contribution lately. Here is a quick update.

I originally followed these instructions [1] to install the nVidia
drivers and these are the instructions that gave the results I
originally posted. Here is a post I made [2] providing diagnostic
output to the same thread that the instructions came from.

I followed the instructions that Reynold provided, also with little
success I will soon be wiping my Fedora installation to start from a
clean state and will then be trying Reynolds instructions again.

I also seem to be having an issue where my hard drives do not mount
during the boot process which results in me being dumped into an
emergency mode console. This is an intermittent failure that may be
somehow related to the graphics driver issue that I am having. Here is
a screenshot [3]of the emergency mode console that I am getting.
Unfortunately I have not managed to get a copy of the log file that it
says it generated (I cant figure out how to mount a USB drive in the
emergency mode console).

Furthermore, I do not have an Optimus system. So my issues are not
stemming from that.

2014-11-13 Thread Joerg Lechner 
Hi,
"optimus laptops" with Nvidia grafics, like the Acer Aspire E15, which I have,  
are not supported by Nvidia. See the currently final answer of the Nvidia 
support below:
--
In that case, unfortunately the NVIDIA Linux driver won't work for normal 
display purposes.
We document this Optimus limitation under the 'Additional Information' tab at 
the driver download page here: 
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/79413/en-us
Some users have had success with the open source bumblebee driver, but NVIDIA 
does not support bumblebee. 

 -
Kind Regards

How to manually install NVIDIA graphics driver

using yum or dnf (I prefer dnf so I will use that)

#dnf clean all
#dnf update
#dnf install gcc kernel-devel dkms

download NVIDIA driver from nvidia.com and cd to the download directory
#chmod +x NVIDIA-XXX.run (the NVIDIA driver, for instance 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-343.13.run)

#vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and insert a line with text 
"blacklist nouveau" (without quotes)
#vi /etc/sysconfig/grub and insert this text 
"rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau" (without quotes) and the end
of the line beginning with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= making sure the text is 
inside the last quotation mark

#grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

#dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86x_64 (this is 64bit driver - if you 
have a 32bit operating system it will be 32bit driver)

#reboot

When you are in grub and the and your operating system kernel is 
highlighted as the one you are booting to press the "e" on the keyboard 
to edit the line
Then at the end of this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= still inside 
the ending quotes insert this text "init 3" (without quotes)
press F10 to reboot

you should then come to a command prompt where you log on as a root user
cd to the download directory where the NVIDIA driver located
#./NVIDIA-XXX.run (for instance ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-343.13.run)
The NVIDIA installer will start
Accept the license agreement
Install 32 bit compatibility (if you are on a 64bit machine)
Choose to automatically update nvidia-xconfig-utility

reboot and log into graphical mode or from command line using root init 5

Hope this helps

Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning

2014-11-12 Thread Joerg Lechner 

 Hi,
I am in discussion with Nvidia Support, to get known, why I can not install the 
Nvidia Grafics Driver.
Mike from Nvidia Support asked me the following:

I reviewed your lspci -nn output and I  see two VGA devices below:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT 
Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a16] (rev 0b) 
03:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 840M] 
[10de:1341] (rev a2)

This means that your laptop is an Optimus laptop.

Please let me know if you can disable Optimus or disable the onboard Intel 
graphics card.  
 
---
I let You know, when there is a solution to install the Nvidia driver 
correctly, but
if the "Optimus Laptop" is the reason, this could be interesting for all 
others, not being able,
to install the Nvidia grafics driver.
Kind Regards

2014-11-12 Thread Joerg Lechner 
Hi,
I tried this procedure, with the same result as Bidski had described.
I had now a chat with Nvidia Support. They gave me a link:
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/132/kw/how%20to%20install%20linux%20drivers
So far I don't know, if this is helpful, anyway I will read and try.
Kind regards

Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning

2014-11-11 Thread Joerg Lechner 
Hi,
sorry, I thought, I had installed nvidia properly, but there was still nouveau 
running.
After I had installed nvidia correctly, I got the same display on screen, as 
You had shown.
I installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.58.run, seemed to be produced on 
5th,Nov.2014.
Possibly we should ask Nvidia support.
Kind Regards

I wrote the CommonBugs note blind - I couldn't test that the proposed
workaround would actually work as I haven't reproduced the bug.

However, it shouldn't happen if you use a non-live install image, so I'd
suggest that. You can use the 'Server' network install image to install
any package set, not just Server, so try using that.

Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning

2014-11-10 Thread Joerg Lechner 
Hi,
on my laptop there is a Nvidia Geforce 840M (Acer Aspire E15, E5 571G). I 
didn't have any problems with the grafics drivers so far. Currently running F21 
Final TC1.
Kind Regards

Has anyone had success installing the nVidia drivers in F21 yet?
I am meeting some strange issues following the instructions for installing them 
in F20. Including this page 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/9de7q9llhlamf32/IMG_20141110_192627.jpg?dl=0) 
displaying while booting after installing the drivers.

I will generate some better diagnostics tonight.

I wrote the CommonBugs note blind - I couldn't test that the proposed
workaround would actually work as I haven't reproduced the bug.

However, it shouldn't happen if you use a non-live install image, so I'd
suggest that. You can use the 'Server' network install image to install
any package set, not just Server, so try using that.

Not sure what happened. But when booting into fedora to get those
screenshots and stuff it successfully booted. So it seems ok now.

Now to figure out the graphics card.

Re: F21 Installation Issues - Installation destination partitioning

2014-11-09 Thread Bidski 
 
After shifting the partitions on my HDD up by about 200 MiB and then
using gdisk to convert the disk to GPT (did it this way to try and
preserve the existing Windows partitions), the Fedora installer now
only recognises my HDD as a multipath device.

I actually have two SATA HDDs, both are the same as what I posted
previously. One of them turned out to be GPT the other MBR (so maybe
Windows just decided to convert the wrong drive to GPT originally?).
Before I did the conversion described above, both HDDs were recognised
as local disks by the installer, now both are recognised as multipath
devices.

I tried the install on the multipath device anyway and it seemed to
work, But upon booting into the installation it failed critically and
dumped me into the emergency console. It looked as though it failed to
find any HDDs at all when trying to boot.

I will see if I can generate some screenshots or something and post
them soon.

I also looked at the F21 Common Bugs page on the wiki. There is a
section there talking about multipath device issue. I created edited
the /etc/multipath.conf file to have the contents specified but the
installer still treats all devices as multipaths. 

Any suggestions here? Should I just try wiping the HDD and starting
again (ensuring that Windows properly formats the correct HDD this
time?)

 I recall something like this... had to zero the MBR before Windows
would
 create a GPT. Old version of Windows, though, and I am no Windows
 expert.

 My apologies. Apparently when you ask Windows to create a GPT it
decides that what you really wanted was an MBR. I shall work on
rectifying this now.

I shall let you know the result.

 Well, the errors you're getting seem rather odd. Are you sure it
 *actually* has a GPT partition table? Can you
 post /tmp/storage.log , /tmp/program.log , and the output of 'fdisk'
or
 'parted' or something on the disk? Thanks.
