Regarding F29 GDM issues.

Thanks Dirk,

Problem is rhgb kernel parameter. I guess this is fixed soon. I can get same xorg error:

    There are chances that his GT 730 is based on a Fermi GPU which are now maintained through an older driver branch just for bug and security fixes.
    I think than the latest version for Fermi GPUs is 410.66

  Hi Przemysław,
  
  Yes you are right Fedora 29 GDM, is working without rhgb kernel parameter. I updated this guide too. This is probably fixed later, you can follow this on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1643302

Looking through NVIDIA documentation I found a more “elegant” way.
I’ve installed the required packages (only kernel-devel was missing).
Then I just created a new configuration file (since is advised to not modify existing ones) in /etc/modprobe.d/ with this two line:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

and suddenly I rebuild initramfs as you described, which pick up the module loader configuration file mentioned above, preventing Nouveau from loading and performing a kernel modeset.

Both ways (yours and mine) filed the firs time because the package “elfutils-libelf-devel” was not installed, luckily the nvidia-installer log reported that the cause was the missing package so was easy to solve.

  Hi Stefano,
  
  I know that here is a few not mandatory steps, but I have used several years to modify this guide and used my own experiences and users feedback. This is what it currently is.

  Did you get nVidia drivers installed and could use graphical environments? Or where you get this message box?

Hi JR,

thanks for the detailed instructions.

Recently I had to uninstall the Nvidia and re-enable nouveau drivers on a Fedora 28 machine. To make it work again I had to reinstall the libglvnd* packages in step 5.12 as well.

I was able to install the drivers on fedora 29 from the rpm fusion repo (by enabled in software centre repo menu) and then installing the driver by the commandxorg-x11-drv-nvidia.x86_64. That was still broken so I tried these packages nvidia-modprobe.x86_64 and nvidia-persistenced.x86_64 then I run “sudo dracut -f” and now I can boot into gnome without gdm locking up or removing the “rhgb” parameter . I don’t know which packege fixed this, it wasn’t dracut. Hope this helps, worked on gtx 970.

  Hi SomeGrunt,
  
  This guides point is not solve only rhgb problem, but just to be alternative way to install nVidia drivers stable, beta, legacy or whatever version you wish. It’s something what you can’t get from any repo.

really good guide, thx a lot.
I have one comment to this. I upgraded from f28 to f29 and some screen issuse, so i decidied to update my nvidia driver from 396 to 410 but I run into trouble. googeling does help me so I uninstalled the old driver completely -> switched back to nouveau -> and after the system runs again I installed nvidida driver 410. Hope this help someone that had also trouble with updating the driver

Thanks for your excellent guide. I had tried everything to get this working and I finally got everything working with this guide.

One thing I noticed is that when I upgraded the kernel from 4.18.16 to 4.18.17, I had to manually re-install the driver.

  Hi John,
  
  Thanks and nice to hear that you got everything working!
  
  Normally dkms should take care of rebuilding Nvidia for updated kernel, but some reason currently it fails. Did you tried update to 4.18.18? Is it still same?

  DKMS broken though, says it can’t find 410.73 conf file, and now can’t boot into OS after 4.18.18 kernel update. Tried running the installer again in multi-user and got no errors, but dkms status still returns an error.
  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Installed 410.73 again and reinstalled dkms which cleared the dkms.conf error, then installed 415.13 and I’m able to boot but the error is back as well when I run [dkms status]

    I checked contents for /usr/src and there is no nvidia-410.73 folder, should I manually delete /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/410.73 folder?

      Hi Steve,
      
      I just checked your image and own config. You should try to remove /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/410.73 manually, you can do it example with following command:
      
      mv /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/410.73 /root/
      
      Then run dkms status again, do you still get error?

        Also, the rhgb issue has been resolved with plymouth update over the past week.
