Hi there community,
I have been struggling with the problem of getting my Nvidia drivers properly installed. I used the RPMFusion way where it successfully installs the 555.58.02. After rebooting after the install, I get stuck on a black screen. No encrpytion password gui or whatsoever.modinfo -F version nvidia command. Hopefully someone can help me out, thanks in advance!
I could only get the files beneath by starting up the system without rhbg quiet. As I said, after some loading, the CLI gets stuck, no matter how long I wait, until I press a button. After pressing a button it “wakes up” again and asks me for my encryption password in the CLI after which it continues to boot normally.

I see a lot of plasma and kwin logs, did not expect them in the system journal. I thought the logs would be in the user journal only.
Problem maybe a user config issue.
Try adding a new user to your system and see if you can login as that user and see a working desktop.
Try the beta driver as it has better wayland support.
Updated nvidia-installer to select the NVIDIA open GPU kernel modules by default on systems with GPUs that support both the proprietary and open kernel modules.
Fixed a bug that caused GPU driver installation to fail when the system used alternate implementations of the ‘tr’ utility, such as from the busybox or toybox projects.
Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong image format to be used for render pass image clears in Vulkan applications when using a VkImage created with VK_IMAGE_C…

I did exactly, what you suggested. Unfortunately I am having the same problems where the encryption GUI doesn’t show and the only way into the system is removing quiet rhbg from the boot command in grub. Attached you will find a picture of the booting CLI where it gets stuck. It has been in that state for 5 minutes, after which I pressed a random button and it asked me for my encryption password. I now have an extra problem that where the login screen pops up, and after I input a wrong password it fully freezes up and the system needs to be reboot. Here are the output of the commands after the upgrade

Here, the journalctl:
The problem is not necessarily that I can’t login with the user, but rather that the decryption GUI doesn’t show up at all during normal boot sequence. I can only get into my system by removing rhbg quiet from the grub boot command after which I can enter my decryption password after pressing some random buttons when the CLI seems “stuck”.
Try this to see if loading nvidia early helps.
sudo dracut -fv --add-drivers " nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm "

Good news, this did the trick for me! It now starts up and boots straight into the decryption GUI automatically, so without any intervention. Thanks!
You will need to do that for each kernel update.
