A install is tainted by having certain kinds of things installed (in this case, binary support files that are not open-source). It will still be tainted (i.e. not suitable for providing bug reports to sources that need the computer to be running in a defined state), even if you try and pretend that it is not (faking the flags). To untaint a a kernel (e.g. for the purposes of debugging something), you have to stop using the modules that cause the tainting (you'd unload the Nvidia graphics driver and use a generic one, in this case). If, after doing that, the problem still occurs, you can make a bug report that can be used by the debugging team. But, if after that, the fault goes away, it points rather firmly at your binary blob being the cause of the problem. And since nobody here can debug closed source software, you're stuck. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.14.16-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 31 19:34:52 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
