id say do a practice run of switching between runlevel 3 and runlevel 5, just so you've seen it and feel "ok" in runlevel 3

because runlevel 3 can be a bit scary at first, but its just a full screen version of where you typed those commands

as superuser (su -)

telinit 3

then login

as superuser (su -)

telinit 5

should bring you back to the desktop (you do the install from runlevel 3, so this is just a dry run in case we need to do more and get stuck in runlevel 3 after you remove the graphics drivers.)

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.

if you restart can you get back to the desktop? (its easier to do the disable from there, but maybe the drivers are already partly off)

Yup. Rebooting gets me back to the desktop. 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

kbZxBeF.png

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..)

There is no last line. I get

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

make it

also i get

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
 

Edited by jarmstro

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

No no. That's done something to the bios! It's initialising some overclock genie!! 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)

anyway to install the nvidia drivers

as superuser

telinit 3

as superuser

cd /home
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.56.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.56.run

you dont have to type all of NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.56.run, you can just write the first few characters (NVI) then press the tab key to fill in the rest
