Fedora 24 won't boot after installing nvidia driver
I'm running fedora on an intel i7 64 bit, which has nvidia optimus graphics card. I installed proprietary driver, LINUX X64 (AMD64/EM64T) DISPLAY DRIVER from nvidia's website. But, after this I'm stuck at a screen which says
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.
I can access the tty console from here, before doing the installation from the text user interface I had blacklisted nouveau driver.
I referred this for installing nvidia, https://www.unixmen.com/install-nvidi... How do I get it to boot?
Thank you for your time.
Update: I tinkered a bit with it, more specifically, ran the following from tty
sudo dnf install lightdm lightdm-gtk
systemctl disable gdm.service
systemctl enable lightdm.service
hoping to get to desktop environment. Unfortunately, after doing the above, during booting, the fedora icon shows up , then a blinking cursor, that then gives way to a blank screen, not desktop or login screen. I can still access the tty consoles from there.
I ran into the same problem and had to reinstall the whole system please accept an answer if it worked for you
Hi, Unfortunately, none of the answers till now worked. Did you encounterit after installing nvidia? I had bumblebee running, then decided to switch to nvidia, that's when things went awry for me.
when i installed nvidea every thing was fine untel i rebooted my laptom the same last message appeared as you wrote it and i couldn't access any visual display i could just activate a black screen terminal with root user prev. i tried to remove nvidia or undo things "i tried A LOT of ideas to" to restore my system but i decided to cut the chase and reinstall fedora24 all over again
i hope you wouldn't have to do that but let me know if you find a solution
I reinstalled it, nothing worked :-(
are you using fedora on some HP Envy15 Laptop ?? Cause mine has same configurations and I suffered same problems.
