How to diable Nouveau in fedora27
I downloaded the drivers from Nvidia's website. When executed the following command: sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x8664-390.25.run First, it showed me that I need to disable Nouveau Then, I used sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x8664 That didn't worked out, so I reinstalled it using: sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-noveau.x86_64 Then, it now shows me that "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing" Please help.
sudo init 3to get to terminal, and kill x serversudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x8664-390.25.run -Z(to disable nouveau and blacklist it for good) if you have installed dkms and gcc and acpid already, you can use the dkms feature to update your driver with new kernel updates. if you do want dkms you may also need to install kernel-headers and kernel-devel
