hi all , new fedora long time linux
when iever i use any other kernel than /boot/vmlinuz-6.16.8-200.fc42.x86_64" i can boot up but i cant launch any applicaiton everything fails, except apps like xterm
so unsure where is the issue i have feeling it maybe related to My old GPU
Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
using opensource driver, i cant use the propiertary cause it fails to bootup blank screens all the way
how can i debug this better

for now i holded that kernel but its weird feeling to do that, wish i can debug or figure out why
Cause some crashing and then post the relevant chunk of lines from journalctl.

This is what claude says, i will try to post the zip/tar file some where
ot Cause
The kernel is experiencing a NULL pointer dereference bug in the Nouveau driver (open-source NVIDIA GPU driver). This is a critical kernel bug that occurs 6 times during boot.
Technical Details
Affected Function:
- nvkm_gr_units+0x9/0x30 in the nouveau module (13-dmesg-output.txt:1420, 1495, 1564, 1646, 1742, 1820)
Call Stack:
nouveau_abi16_ioctl_getparam+0x2ba/0x3a0
└─> nvkm_gr_units (crashes with NULL pointer at address 0x0000000000000000)
Your Hardware:
- GPU: NVIDIA GP107 (GeForce GTX 1050 Ti / GTX 1050) with 4GB GDDR5
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI
Triggering Applications:
The crash occurs when these applications try to query GPU parameters:
- gst-plugin-scan (GStreamer plugin scanner)
- nautilus (GNOME file manager)
- gnome-text-edit
- sshpilot
- ptyxis
Why This Happens
1. Firmware Missing: Your logs show nouveau can't find GPU firmware files (13-dmesg-output.txt:1045-1048)
2. Regression: This is a bug introduced between kernel 6.16.8 (working) and 6.16.12 (broken)
3. NULL Check Missing: The nvkm_gr_units function tries to dereference a NULL pointer without proper validation
Recommended Solutions
Option 1: Wait for Kernel Update (Recommended)
This is a kernel regression that Fedora/upstream will likely fix soon. Keep using 6.16.8 until 6.16.13+ is available.
Option 2: Use Proprietary NVIDIA Driver
Install the official NVIDIA driver to bypass nouveau:
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
Option 3: Blacklist Nouveau
If you have integrated graphics, disable nouveau:
# Edit /etc/default/grub and add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX:
nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau
# Then regenerate grub config:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Option 4: Report the Bug
Report this to the Fedora/kernel team with your logs to help get it fixed faster.
Additional Notes
- Your boot parameter nouveau.config=NvClkMode=auto is fine and not causing the issue
- The bug is specifically in how nouveau handles GP107 GPU queries in kernel 6.16.12
- Stick with kernel 6.16.8 until this is resolved
Would you like help implementing any of these solutions?

the issue is when i try Nvidia offical driver i get blank screens
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
No need - just demonstrate the errors you get when booting new kernels, boot into the working kernel, find the relevant parts of the previous journalctl log and post that.

Well, the anthropic AI is correct - the nouveau driver is indeed crashing with this kernel revision - I’m assuming everything is up-to-date with the installation of that driver?
On the other hand, the nvidia drivers should still support your GP107 card - it’s oldish but should still be supported by the 580 series of drivers. I note you say you get black screens when you use that driver - have you looked at any of the output from a boot with the nvidia drivers in use to see why it’s presenting a black screen and not displaying output?
I’m not familiar at all with nouveau driver, never used them, so I don’t know how robust they actually are. Hopefully someone who actually uses these drivers, with these kernels can assist, but given that you’re pinned to a specific kernel, you seem to be stuck there until either the issue with the kernel/nouveau is resolved or we can get the Nvidia drivers up and running on your kit. At least then you’d have a fall-back in the case of the subsequent event like this.

yeah blank screen no output what so ever the only way i get to work is remove the blacklisting of noveau drivers in the kernel boot options .. i wonder if this cause i had internal motherboard AMD GPU or not, i really wish they can fix it in latest kernels

I have always disable the motherboard GPU in the BIOS when using a discrete GPU. That makes the config easier.
The nouveau driver does not seem to get a lot of attention.
But you will have to report the issue against the kernel for any hope of a fix being made.
It would be better to work on getting the RPMfusion nvidia drivers working on your system, after you disable the AMD GPU on the motherboard.

So I went into the bios
and I disabled the internal GPU but that didnt fix it,
rebooting i saw weird error
NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* crtc 59: Can't calculate constants, dotclock = 0!
[ OK ] Finished nvidia-fallback.service -- to nouveau as nvidia did not load.
went back to the BIOS and searched for nvidia options and saw bunch Nvidia options like
Discrete GPU_DSM Function A and B And Power Enable
I basically turned on any nvidia related bios option that is disabled, rebooted using the old default kernel 6.16.8-200.fc42.x86_64 = fail (can login and get UI but cant launch anything but xterm) but at least i was able to not get blank screen.
So i set grubby to the latest kernel i have now
6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64
And BAM everything works and using Nvidia driver, most likely this was related to the disabled GPU setting in the bios but many thanks for the BIOS suggestion

That means that something is wrong with your nvidia driver build.
If you have secure boot enabled then you must follow the RPMfusion docs to setup a signing key before you build the nvidia driver. See Making sure you're not a bot! which is pointed to from the main docs Making sure you're not a bot!
Once you have the signing key setup you can force a rebuild of the nvidia driver with:
sudo akmods --rebuild --force
Now when you reboot the nvidia driver should load and the fallback should not be required.
If you get a black screen then we need to debug further.
