HP Pavilion 17-f030sw Notebook PC Unuseble with rock

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:

  1. At Grub2 Menu go to Advanced Options>Console Mode that should boot to a login prompt
  2. Login with your user name
  3. Type startx or startplasma-x11 or if using Wayland startplasma-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)
