Hi,
after i followed the tutorial from
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/ about
installing nVidia driver for my ASUS G73SW laptop (with a GTX460M nvidia
card), i'm getting blocked at boot time of fedora 20.
i used this configuration (without nvidia driver) for 2 weeks without any
problem.
and now when it loads Fedora, it stops at different steps:
1. Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service
or
2. Started Hostname Service
or
3. ASAHI mDNS/DNS-SD Stack
That's probably due to the X server not being able to start, and so
GDM can't start.
in fact it is randomly... :( but it seems everytime just after GNOME
Desktop
initialisation.
i chose kmod as suggested in the tutorial for a better kernel update later
on.
If you want to install the nvidia driver better use this guide, it is
more concise
http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia
so what is the problem ? can i get back to working status ?
at boot time i selected previous working kernel but it stops anyway.
When you install nvidia* driver packages it modifies
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg (it's /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg on UEFI
systems) to make sure the nouveau module isn't loaded at boot;
uninstalling those packages should have reverted the changes to
grub.cfg.
If you uninstalled the nvidia packages and the display isn't using the
full HD resolution as before, chances are the changes in grub.cfg
weren't reverted, so check that file and remove these bit:
nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off
If you decide to try the nvidia driver again and it still doesn't
work, after you boot post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to
http://fpaste.org and post a link to it here; or you can use this
command:
fpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
