Hi,<br>
<br>
please add on the hardwareinstall of the nvidia drivers this <br>
lines in the installscript :<br>
<br>
<pre>echo 'blacklist nouveau' >> /etc/modprobe.d/<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">disable-nouveau.conf</span>
echo 'nouveau modeset=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">disable-nouveau.conf

for disabling the nouveau modules to able loading the nvidia modules.
this is it, why start not the nvidia server
because the nouveau-modules is in the way, with this
it's able to blacklisting the nouveau modules therewith.
best regards

0) Download the NVIDIA driver, the latest drive from 361.16 fixes the ABI
driver 20.0 issue, but I ended up using the latest that came out today,
2-9-16, 361.28
# When to my download directory
#wget
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/361.28/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run">http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/361.28/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run</a>
1) Modify grub
I first modified grub to add in the following to disable loading of the
nouveau driver:
Leave your UUID settings alone.
#vim /etc/default/grub
linux /vmlinuz-4.1.15-nrjQL-desktop-1omv
root=UUID=0b0e50f6-5d37-4e35-9121-230234c671cb ro quiet nouveau.modeset=0
splash
Then save.
#update-grub2
#and reboot, 'systemctl reboot'
Could select rescue mode as well after the boot.
2) Enter into priviledge mode: su, then 'init 1'
#lsmod
#init 1
#rmmod ttm
#rmmod nouveau
#cd Downloads
#cd /home/efremmc/Downloads/
#chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run
#ls -l *.run
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run
It errored out because it could not find 'cc'
So I typed in 'cc' - So cc should be a link to gcc
#locate gcc
#updatedb
#locate gcc | grep bin
#ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
#ls -l /usr/bin/cc
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run
Another error, reported needing the kernel source files
#rpm -qa kernel-*
#uname -r
#urpmi kernel-source
#urpmi kernel-source-latest
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run
Another dependency required ....
#updatedb
# It wanted the source path without the '/' at the end
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run --kernel-source-path
/usr/src/linux-4.1.15-1omv
#rpm -qa kernel-*
#urpmi kernel-nrjQL-desktop-devel
Another error reported as it was looking for the version.h file, so I found
it and copied it. (we can discuss this later...; I could have created a
symbolic link
#locate version.h
#less /usr/include/linux/version.h
#cp /usr/include/linux/version.h
/usr/src/linux-4.1.15-nrjQL-desktop-1omv/include/linux/
Then I was abled to install the driver, I told it to continue on errors,
because it
was looking to create symbolic links for files that already exist
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run --kernel-source-path
/usr/src/linux-4.1.15-nrjQL-desktop-1omv
The modification in xorg.conf are shown above. There is some additional
configuration I will tweet in the xorg.conf file.
Finally, rebooted the system. 'systemctl reboot'

<pre wrap="">GREAT NEWS !!
I was finally able to get the Nvidia drivers working. I had to manually
edit the xorg.cfg and had to install many dependencies. The dependencies
is an interesting story; the update service made some of packages orphans.
I will send over the steps and working xorg.conf file.
I will provide some notes on making the changes in xorg.conf.
The Nvidia drivers are important for software development on GPU for
coding in CUDA or OpenACC. I'm doing both using C and C++ and Fortran is
also supported. I have not installed the PGI compiler for OpenACC yet,
but that will come later.
This is GREAT NEWS!!
The Nvidia driver is required for CUDA programming as OpenACC can use
either the CPU or GPU.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
the nouveau driver is behind installing nvidia drivers
in the way at boot, because nvidia not able to load..
the x11-server-comon (or something*g*) have i installed behind the
nvidadrivers..
it seems the gl-file problem is is drained ..
but behind the systemstart it is the nouveau drivers still in the lsmod
list.
have try via "dracut --omit-drivers nouveau --force " remove the nouveau
drivers,
but it seems it is load by systemd because behind the start of systemd it
is change
the terminal and it seems like nouveau it's loaded, because the
resolution
of the screen is change..
