I'm using my old windows-7 box to do e-mail.
I did my weekly patches ("dnf upgrade") an hour ago. After rebooting,
after the rightmost rectangle turns white, I get the message "NVIDIA
kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau.". A few seconds later,
the 3 rectangles turn orange. Then the screens go black and nothing
further happens. I have to use the reset button on the top of the
tower. The behavior is the same no matter which of the 3 grub menu
Fedora entries I choose. No luck with the rescue mode (f30). I do have
an f31 live USB stick, but that has no e-mail client.
How do I get my f34 working properly? All I have to work with is
windows-7 (this is a dual-boot workstation) and the f31 live USB stick.
Please keep in mind that I'm a "home user" with no sys.admin. training.
My sys.admin. skills are *very* basic.
Ed's solution,
removing the old driver (dnf erase *nvidia*), then
installing the correct driver (dnf install akmod-nvidia-470xx)
worked.
The problem arose when my weekly patches updated the working driver with
a newer one that does not support my NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce
GTX 660] graphics card.
I thank Ed for his time and effort on this issue.
I've marked this thread "SOLVED".
