I am running Ubuntu at the moment. The reason I could not use Fedora 16 was this issue. I have been playing with Fedora 17 and liking it, so do want to use it as my primary OS. If installing nvidia drivers is an issue I can keep then disabled and try later. However, if there are instructions how to install nvidia drivers that will help.Am 04.06.2012 13:36, schrieb Swapnil Bhartiya:I am revisiting the same problem that I faced with Fedora 16, and the reason I could not use it. I installed 'akmod' and 'nvidia settings' from Yumex and when rebooted the screen was stuck at / em1: link becomes ready/ I logged into tty3 and then removed akmod nvidia [root@localhost ~]# yum remove akmod-nvidia.x86_64 [root@localhost ~]# yum remove akmods.noarch and now system is booting well. What is the problem? How can I use nvidia drivers without this issue. I am liking Fedora 17 very much and would like to continue to use it as my primary OS along with Ubuntu.you should simply NOT upgrade to the latest fedora version soon after release if you rely on third-party drivers Best Swapnil this is always the same discussion after each new release F16 has the same kernel, firefox, thunderbird..... in this moment there is not much new in F17 for most workloads but you get usually a newer xorg which causes your problems and will do with each release in the future as long you are not willing to buy supported hardware |
