I have been using Fedora 21 since the alpha release and overall it has
worked wonderfully (it has never one crashed and I use it every day),
even to the extent of noticing a reduction in the memory consumed and
processor usage when I have all my usual application up and running.
One thing though is, I find my screen is kind of jerky when I scroll
and this has never happened with other Fedora releases.
I therefore tried to install nvidia. I have always followed the steps
from
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/. It
basically boils down to:
Install RPMFusion
*yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs kernel-devel acpid*
yum install kernel-PAE-devel
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
*reboot*
However, after reboot, I get the rather interesting message:
Oh no something has gone wrong
A problem has occured and the system can't recover.
Please logout and try again.
I've never had any issues installing nvidia in the past on any Fedora
release. Hoping for some solutions on how to fix this. Thanks in the
meantime.
Installing the Nvidia driver has always been a bit tricky at best.
This is complicated by the recent tendency to boot the wrong kernel.
I run a 64 bit system so my current routine is:
(install rpmfusion)
yum install xorg-x11-dev-nvidia
edit /boot/g*2/*cfg - replace "rhgb quiet" with "nomodeset"
reboot, taking care to boot the correct entry.
So far this works for me. If the kernel is updated, I usually have
to remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia, reboot, and install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
all over.
The Nvidia driver is so much nicer than Nouveau it's worth the fuss
to get it installed.
