Hi, for a few days I’ve been trying to install the drivers for the Quadro 2000 (old GPU) but with no success at all.
Tried following the (rpm)[Making sure you're not a bot!], but I will just get an error “Nvidia kernel module is missing”.
Tried installing the normal one and “340xx”, but I get the same error.
And I tried installing it from nvidia.com directly, but at will get an error at the end that says “failed to build -m nvidia”.
Tried to turn off dkms but got an error right away.
With such an old card, I would suggest sticking with the open-source nouveau drivers, given that the 390xx (corresponding to your card) are probably not supported anymore, and 340xx drivers are certainly not supported anymore.
With the 390xx driver, it is likely that the later kernels may not support the driver.
As suggested above, please try using the nouveau driver (which has been the default on fedora until just recently.)
You may need to use cat /proc/cmdline and look to see if there are entries such as rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core in that command line. What you have may or may not include the ,nova_core part.
If so, then on workstation you can remove those entries with sudo grubby --remove-args "rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core" --update-kernel=ALL. If the ,nova_core part does not exist then remove that from the grubby command before pressing <enter>
You should also probably remove any and all nvidia drivers you have installed, especially the one from nvidia.com.
