That's probably due to the X server not being able to start, and so GDM can't start. > in fact it is randomly... :( but it seems everytime just after GNOME Desktop > initialisation. > > i chose kmod as suggested in the tutorial for a better kernel update later > on. > If you want to install the nvidia driver better use this guide, it is more concise http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia > so what is the problem ? can i get back to working status ? > at boot time i selected previous working kernel but it stops anyway. > When you install nvidia* driver packages it modifies /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (it's /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg on UEFI systems) to make sure the nouveau module isn't loaded at boot; uninstalling those packages should have reverted the changes to grub.cfg. If you uninstalled the nvidia packages and the display isn't using the full HD resolution as before, chances are the changes in grub.cfg weren't reverted, so check that file and remove these bit: nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off If you decide to try the nvidia driver again and it still doesn't work, after you boot post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://fpaste.org and post a link to it here; or you can use this command: fpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- Ahmad Samir -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
