    F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    Leigh's mentioned that this guide: http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia?hi...tegoryHowto%29 is a decent one for working with F22. Of course, F22's default is dnf, so consider that when it refers to yum. And, Leigh reports that there is NO Kmod support for F22. Kmod support for other versions will be slow due to lack of manpower.

    Question Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    Thanks. I have been trying off and on since FC22 was released to get nvidia from rmpfusion installed. It worked very well indeed with FC2.

    Example output from Xorg.0.log

    Thumbs up Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    I noted that there was a kernel update today so I tried the nvidia RPMs from rpmfusion and this time installation succeeded and I am able to use the Nvidia driver.

    In addition to the new kernel (kernel-4.0.5-300.fc22.x86_64), I followed the instructions to install these rpms on JR page at http://www.if-not-true-then-false.co...-nvidia-guide/ (keeping an eye on the rpmfusion how to also).

    I used this: sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel (ie adding the devel package as this seemed to help others).

    And this was followed by JRs instructions at 2.5:
    ## Backup old initramfs nouveau image ##
    mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img

    ## Create new initramfs image ##
    dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

    I rebooted. Verified nvidia module was running and then installed i686 support.
    sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

    The above worked for me. Your milage may vary.

    I now have a method for making step 3 persistent on F22. First let me mention two things that did not work, that have been suggested for previous versions of fedora.
    Code:
    #vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf - append 'blacklist nouveau'
    #vi /etc/sysconfig/grub - append 'rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau' to end of 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=
    #grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    This method of blacklisting did not work, but is close to the final solution. Basically there are extra things that need to be added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Amazingly the following code also does not work:
    Code:
    #yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86_64
    It seems that this does not remove nouveau from /lib/modules/..., and so in fact nouveau is still detected in the boot process.

    To discover what to put after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=, I did step 3, rebooted, then ran
    Code:
    cat /proc/cmdline
    This told me that fromy configuration /etc/sysconfig/grub should have the following line:
    Code:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off"
    So basically there are three things to add to the line: nouveau.modeset=0, rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau, and video=vesa:off (the rest was already there). I then ran
    Code:
    #grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    And that does it. By the way, I am pretty sure that the blacklist.conf file does not help at all, but I admit I have not removed it from my system.

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    The blacklist.conf modification works, but you have to use dracut to update the initramfs image to make it take effect.
    Hope is not a plan

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    brmorse is correct about dracut needing to be run afterwards to build a new initramfs image, however in my case dracut has been run several times since I created the file. I think this may do some explaining:
    http://http://forums.fedoraforum.org...te=1&p=1736316
    This seems to indicate that dracut only checks in /etc/modprobe.d when the host-only option is used. The standard folder for blacklisting is actually /usr/lib/modprobe.d. This link has been around since F18, and yet almost all explanations that can be found by google for blacklisting nouveau refer to /etc/modprobe.d without the host only option. why?

    Interestingly, there is already a file for blacklisting nouveau in /usr/lib/modprobe.d on my computer, yet it seems to be ignored. The file explains that if it is ignored, then dracut should be run with the -f option. I did this, but it was still ignored. Do they mean the -H option? I mean, if nouveau is really blacklisted it seems like xorg should not try loading nouveau at all, but the log still shows an attempt to load nouveau.

    Thumbs up Re: F18-F20: Nvidia guide

    This seems to work for me on F22 64 bit.

    1. Clean install of Live via USB.
    2. Update system.
    3. Reboot.
    4. Setup RPM Fusion repos (free and nonfree).

    In a terminal install Nvidia as follows and includes 32 bit libs for e.g. steam:

    5. dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 kernel-devel dkms

    6. mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img

    7. dracut --omit-drivers nouveau /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

    You may need to change akmod-nvidia and libs selection depending upon the type of card in use, see http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia

    I will report back if there are any issues after next kernel update - hopefully not.

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    You don't need to remove nouveau from the initramfs with fedora 22 as shown below:

    Code:
    mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
    dracut --omit-drivers nouveau /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

    To install the driver nvidia driver from rpmfusion for the Newer GeForce VGA as described on the rpmfusion website open a terminal and copy and paste the following:

    First install the rpmfusion repository:
    Code:
    su
    dnf install --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
    To install the driver nvidia driver

    Code:
    su
    dnf -y update && dnf -y install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers 
    dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

    Reboot


    If your nvidia-kmod failed to build during the reboot copy and paste the following into a terminal with root privileges (use crtl+alt+f2 to gain access to a terminal if required) :

    [root@jonathon-i7 jonathon]#
    Code:
    akmods --force
    Checking kmods exist for 4.0.7-300.fc22.x86_64 [ OK ]
    Building and installing nvidia-kmod [ OK ]
    [root@jonathon-i7 jonathon]#

    Reboot and you should be good to go..)

    To remove the nvidia driver (if it failed to build or install) and move back to the nouveau driver instead of the vesa driver:

    Code:
    su
    dnf remove *\nvidia\*
    Reboot

    Thanks to CronoCloud http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpo...6&postcount=81 for letting me know the fix.

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    So, why not put a warning on the RPMFusion page, that installing the Nvidia a-/kmod packages will require additional steps in order to work. As of now, installing this packages will 100% guaranteed leave you with a broken, unbootable system.

    I know the drill because the kmod-packages break my systems since 2010 or something, since nouveau came up, and I know the solution and fix is hidden somewhere deep inside the fedora forums. But I think about new Fedora users, who expect a quick and easy way to install the Nvidia drivers.

    Eos, we don't control RPMFusion, FedoraProject, etc. and all we can do is to put a Guide that people should find if they come to this Forum. Not perfect, but until we rule the world, it's what's available.

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    Needed the proprietary driver last night to play some game (let's hope the new mesa with OpenGL 4 arrives soon and nouveau stability and performance improves).
    Where some time ago it was enough to use "dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686" from RPMfusion, this time I was greeted with a kernel trace.

    I first thought this was related to running a fresh 4.1.3 kernel but after booting into emergency mode I saw that nouveau was still being loaded.
    Ran the command "dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)" as stated in /usr/lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf and afterwards all was good.
    Next I noticed the monitors were reversed on GDM, so after logging in, configuring the screens and copying ~/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config/ all was fine.

    I understand that, but I thought that maybe some of the package maintainers from RPMfusion show up here from time to time.

    Anyway I followed jonathonps instructions now, and it just worked. No blacklisting nouveau needed. That was a pleasent surprise. All I had to do manually was a "dnf update"

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    I followed jonathonp's post and everything else that I could have thought of, but my F22 kernel 4.1.3 still does not have a working graphics. gdm starts successfully, but after login, the oops message still shows up, and I cannot get to usual screen. I have the same problem since the kernel 4.0.8 update.

    By the way, akmods --force returns that

    Code:
    Checking kmods exist for 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64             [  OK  ]
    I am still using kernel 4.0.7. I hope next kernel update will fix the problem.

    Re: F22 Nvidia Guide Link

    Strange, the akmod is still working flawlessly for me, now using the Kernel 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64.

    My installation steps were:

    Installed the rpmfusion-free and nonfree packages.

    Ran "dnf install akmod-nvidia" in a terminal window.

    The first reboot after this failed, and the Gnome oops-message showed up. I switched to a log-in screen with crtl+alt+fx, logged in as root, and tried akmods --force. This failed however, because there were some kernel-header packages missing or something. So I ran dnf update which acutally installed a couple of kernel related packages.

    After the next reboot the akmod just worked and I had no problems whatsoever since then.
