I'm using my old windows-7 box to do e-mail.
I did my weekly patches ("dnf upgrade") an hour ago. After
rebooting, after the rightmost rectangle turns white, I get the
message "NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau.". A
few seconds later, the 3 rectangles turn orange. Then the screens go
black and nothing further happens. I have to use the reset button on
the top of the tower. The behavior is the same no matter which of
the 3 grub menu Fedora entries I choose. No luck with the rescue
mode (f30). I do have an f31 live USB stick, but that has no e-mail
client.
How do I get my f34 working properly? All I have to work with is
windows-7 (this is a dual-boot workstation) and the f31 live USB
stick. Please keep in mind that I'm a "home user" with no sys.admin.
training. My sys.admin. skills are *very* basic.
Either boot your system to level 3, or switch to a terminal,
Then, show what nVidia HW you have.
How do I do those 2 steps?
If it helps, the windows-7 control panel -> hardware and sound -> NVIDIA
Control Panel says I have GeForce GTX 660. It would have been bought in
2013.
Then do "rpm -qa | grep nvidia"
Have you gotten the nVidia stuff from rpmFusion?
If I remember correctly, I got the nVidia stuff from rpmFusion back in
2013. I see "kmod" being patched/updated almost every time I do the
weekly "dnf update".
