Did exactly what you said. It went to telinit 3 OK but after I typed in telinit 5 i got the loading wheel thing but now it's hung with a totally black screen. By typing Cntrl + Alt + 2 I'm back to telinit 3. Now telinit 5 does nothing. Edited February 27, 20215 yr by jarmstro

Rebooting gets me back to the desktop. PS do I want the Nvidia aarch drivers or the standard 64 bit ones? Edited February 27, 20215 yr by jarmstro

PS do I want the Nvidia aarch drivers or the standard 64 bit ones? linux 64bit, we'll download them from the commandline as superuser (su -, in konsole) kwrite /etc/sysconfig/grub should open a text editor that looks like this edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line to say rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau like mine is on the last line then save and close (oohh look, I didn't follow the instructions properly, I have two GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX lines..)

February 27, 20215 yr as superuser (same window you just ran kwrite, should still be ) 1. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg 2. dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau 3. mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img 4. dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) drivers will now be dead next time it starts Before you restart lets get the NV installler in a known location as superuser cd /home wget https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/460.56/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.56.run Edited February 27, 20215 yr by mSparks AutoATC Developer
February 27, 20215 yr Author No no. That's done something to the bios! It's initialising some overclock genie!! What the hell?

What the hell? nouveau starts right when linux first boots, thats why removing it is such a pita. I have no nice words to describe this process, other than at least it only needs doing once. once you run the wget line it will download the nvidia driver installer (into the /home directory) Edited February 27, 20215 yr by mSparks AutoATC Developer
