Now when the system starts you should have the graphical desktop run on the official drivers. Go to Step 10 if you successfully completed the installation.
Now that you are in the installer answer “ yes” to “ all” questions this is very important. Not sure why but alternative sometimes you have to start it with “./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run” or “bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run”. (only if you use gnome if you use CTRL+ALT+F2 you can directly login as root) Step 7: Go into a terminal and SU to root. I am going to assume your system did boot correctly still into graphical mode if not and you are stuck simpely press CTRL+ALT+F2 to open a terminal window. Now we have to restart the pc, normally you should get into gnome with a low resolution however if graphical mode does no longer work do not worry as the following part has to be done all in terminal anyway. Now do NOT copy my line into your grub file as your sytem wil not boot anymore then I just show it as a example! Your line might look very different but just make sure you add “ rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0“. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet rhgb rd.lvm.lv=vg_jungle/lv_swap rd.luks=0 rd.lvm.lv=vg_jungle/lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0" So for me the whole line does look like this now: Step 4: Add to the end of the line “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX” the following. Now you have this file open you see a line that starts with “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX” this is the line we need. Step 3: open /etc/default/grub with your favorith editor I will use VI for the purpose of this guide. Now that we have the driver we need to prepare Fedora so it will no longer use the Nouveau driver, the easiest and most lazy way is to simply blacklist the Nouveau driver so it will no longer start with the system. Step 2: Go to and download the linux driver for the card you have as seen in Step 1. You need this to confirm the driver will support your card.
Step 1: Check what nVidia card you have, if you already know please skip this and go to Step 2.Ġ1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF460 (rev a1)
Why would you want to install this well I assume when you are reading this you already know the answer to this.įor me I personally I get much better performances with the driver then the Nouveau driver that comes with Fedora. In this little guide I will show how you are able to install the official drivers in Fedora.
