Yet Another Blank Screen On NVIDIA After A Fedora 44 upgrade Post
NVIDIA and Nouveau drivers are failing for the GTX 750 card after the Fedora 44 update. I don't have EFI, SecureBoot, or LUKS enabled.
Things I've attempted after extensive searching including this subreddit:
akmod-nvidia-580xxandakmod-nvidia-470xx- Let
akmodrun for 30 minutes, as well as tried forcing the generation usingakmods - Fully purged all NVIDIA files generated by the drivers (per the RPM Fusion instructions)
- Removed the
rhbgandquietoptions from GRUB - Added
nvidia_drm.modeset=1 - Removed
nouveau,novafrom the blacklisted modules - Looked at the NVIDIA Fedora Guide, Fedora Noble Setup
Switching to a TTY does not output an image, and I've mostly been able to access my system via SSH.
It's safe to say I'm at my wits' end, and that I've done pretty much everything I can think of short of reinstalling Fedora from scratch.
Help?
