No GUI after update Fedora 20 and NVidia Card
I recently installed a new NVIDIA card GK106 [GeForce GTX 660]. I tried to install the nvidia drivers and didn't see anything different but once I restarted i cannot get any GUI. I can ctrl+alt+f2 and get to a terminal. I've tried to remove all Nvidia drivers but still that's no help.
I'm still a novice by most standards so any help is greatly appreciated! |
you said you tried to install the nvidia driver ?
if you did NOT read the fedora install instructions and user guide you will find that that is hard to do unless you fallow the INSTRUCTIONS http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...ide/index.html release notes http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...tes/index.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...ide/index.html have a look at the fedoraforum nvidia guide http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/sh...d.php?t=280750 and at the TOP of EVERY page on the forum is a bold yellow link to guides and the very FIRST one is "mjmwired" http://www.fedoraforum.org/?view=fedora_setup http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f19.html |
I didn't come here first. :-(

Above is the what I found for installing and uninstalling which is what I have tried. I admit I should have came here first but thought I could find a faster solution by going to Google and I'm now paying the price. I hate to have to re-image my machine especially because anytime I mess it up my wife insist I go back to windows! |

what is it you are doing ? and where did you get those very odd and weird commands ( and change the "odd" command that are on "if-not-true-then-false" that first one ??? "yum grouplist -v hidden | grep desktop" mind bogglingly odd i would really use the operating system's forum than some random webpage "http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/" "if-not-true-then-false" sometimes is fine but , use the official fedora guide on fedoraforum This error Quote:
fedora uses TWO very different commands to become root "su" and "su -" that "-" makes a VERY big difference su = root BUT!!! with the NORMAL users' $PATH and OLNY using the normal users settings ( only PARTLY the root administrators account ) su - = ROOT and with the full ROOT $PATH and full root settings there is a SAFETY check in gnome the GUI really SHOULD NOT !!! be ran as root ( very big security MESS ) you have to use "su -" or the long version of that shortcut " su -l root" to be able to do most things as root Quote:
fedora defaults to 3 the current one being used the last as a back up and the one before that as an EMERGENCY back up can you post the output of these two commands Code:
su - |
**solved**
