<pre>I really think that there are more than one single bug here.
More on nvidia installation:
1 - When I install new nVidia packages (from testing), I cannot boot the
system. I don't know exactly why. I think pos-installation script of nVidia
packages configures the system to use it as a default which is not possible in
my machine since nVidia is there just for special applications (Optimus
technology). Indeed, after nVidia installation, the symbolic link
/etc/X11/xinit.d/nvidia-settings.xinit is created. It points to
/etc/alternatives/nvidia-settings.xinit which contains,
# to be sourced
#
# Do not modify this file; the changes will be overwritten.
# If you want to disable automatic configuration loading, create
# /etc/sysconfig/nvidia-settings with this line: LOAD_NVIDIA_SETTINGS="no"
#
LOAD_NVIDIA_SETTINGS="yes"
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/nvidia-settings ] && . /etc/sysconfig/nvidia-settings
[ "$LOAD_NVIDIA_SETTINGS" = "yes" ] && /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
--load-config-only
And, if I use XFdrake to reconfigure the boot with the intel video card this
nvidia-settings.xinit file is removed and the system can boot again.
So this bug has at least three branches:
1-Installation and compilation of nvidia in the kernel did not fixed the
original reason for this bug => powering off still doesn't work! The last
message I get with
$ /bin/systemctl poweroff
is
watchdo0: watchdog did not stop!
and the system don't stop at all.
2-I don't know how to load nvidia modules and cannot use bumblebee to
effectively activate nvidia's GPUs under demand. Attempts to load nvidia
modules with,
$ modprobe nvidia
gives,
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory
/lib/modules/4.8.4-desktop-1omv
However, the module is there:
/lib/modules/4.8.4-desktop-1omv/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko.xz
