nvidia driver stops to work after system update
On my desktop I have Fedora 25 and Nvidia GeForce 970 GTX. I had drivers installed via rpm fusion howto. Until yesterday everything worked perfectly then I end my day by performing system update dnf update -y
and shutting down my PC.
Today when I boot it up I found out that it operate in low-resolution mode. Reinstalling nvidia drivers or choosing other kernel from boot menu doiesn't seem to solve the problem. I even for a moment rich state that my machine didn't boot at all due to lack of any graphic drivers, see details here.
In journalctl I saw:
Error querying connected displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).
but I didn't manage to find a solution.
I don't know what else I could try, I will be grateful for any tips. I can provide any necessary logs.
EDIT: I did the following:
dnf downgrade selinux-policy
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia akmod-nvidia "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/libGL.so.* /usr/lib{,64}/libEGL.so.*
rm -f /usr/lib{,64}/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
dnf reinstall xorg-x11-server-Xorg mesa-libGL mesa-libEGL
mv /etc/X11/nvidia-xorg.conf /etc/X11/nvidia-xorg.conf.saved
To clean, hopefully, the installation and then installed again and rebooted: dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia akmod-nvidia "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)" reboot
Unfortunately now boot got blocked on:
Stopping User Manager for UID 42...s from akmod packages....
edit: after reinstalling removed packages with
sudo dnf reinstall libglvnd\* mesa-\* *\nvidia\*
I am still back to point that I log into low-resolution mode and I got Error querying connected displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).
in journalctl
. I did downgrade selinux-policy
to 3.13.1-224.fc25
and set selinux to Permissive
.
so you erased
And didn't reinstall them, they aren't provided by mesa anymore
run
Yes, I am able again to login into gnome. However I am still in low resolution mode.
Ok. After 5th time of remove
and install
it somehow started to work but I cannot really say why... Like my machine would be haunted today.
It's not just you. I am having the exact same problem: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/ques...
I pretty much went down the same path you did, but was never able to get it working.
