Maybe this helps?
Yes
This may get to bug report time.
Or this may be an issue with nvidia hw combined with sddm
login manager, or nvidia combined with systemd
. If it is sddm
you should be able to login with:
- At Grub2 Menu go to Advanced Options>Console Mode that should boot to a login prompt
- Login with your user name
- Type
startx
orstartplasma-x11
or if using Waylandstartplasma-wayland
If that does not work in Rock there are nvidia
(545.29.06) and nvidia-legacy
(470.223…02). Not sure which your hardware might want but my guess is nvidia-legacy
. Installing just one or the other of those should pull in all dependencies needed. So to install these do steps 1 & 2 above and after logging in:
sudo dnf in nvidia-legacy
I am guessing that is the correct package for your hardware. I would be a good idea to check here to be sure that the 470 driver is correct for your hardware. Edit:I am also guessing that these packages do in fact pull in all dependencies, if they don’t we can figure that out,
And yet another alternative is to find the correct nVidia proprietary driver for your hardware and use their .run package. They have instructions for that.
I am trying to help but I do not have nVidia hardware and am not the most knowledgeable about their drivers.
Finally you could ask nVidia for your money back. nVidia market value today is more than the GDP of the country I live in. Edit: (Like maybe 25 - 30 times more)
