Hello everyone. I am sorry for taking time out of your days to help my stupidity. I have been having significant issues related to gaming on Fedora 44. When I play several different games I experience large amounts of lag to the point that things are unplayable. I have been trying to install the pr…

Well I just want to thank you all for your assistance. You guys have been a great help to me. After a long struggle I just decided to delete all my nvidia drivers and go back to using nouveau which worked perfectly fine. I have decided to quit gaming as a whole because I really need nvidia drivers a…

That tells me that secure boot is not the issue, so I must ask for the output of both dnf list --installed \*nvidia\* and inxi -Fzxx. This also could be an issue with the driver version vs the GPU version. I know you said RTX 4050 but need it confirmed as well as the driver.

Here is the output for those commands. Hope this helps. jyomama28@coolcomputer:~$ dnf list --installed \*nvidia\* No matching packages to list jyomama28@coolcomputer:~$ inxi -Fzxx System: Kernel: 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 16.0.1 Desktop: GNOME v: 50.1 tk…

I have an update. I got the nvidia drivers to properly work know after 3 days straight of messing with them. I am still having trouble with them however because everytime I boot I still get the black screen of death and I have the gui popup for a millisecond as everything goes black and freezes. i h…

How did you install the nvidia driver that you now say somewhat works? The normal installation is done by the user enabling the 3rd party repos during the initial setup stage on first boot after installation of fedora. The secondary way is to enable the rpmfusion-nonfree repo as you indicate was do…

Hello agian. Here are the logs for the following commands: jyomama28@coolcomputer:~$ dnf list --installed \*nvidia\* Installed packages (available for reinstall, available for upgrade) akmod-nvidia.x86_64 3:595.71.05-1.fc44 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates kmod-nvidia-6.19.14-300.f…

[image] Joe Mama: [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64 root=UUID=efc20370-f210-4553-bae8-c805ae310a40 ro rootflags=subvol=root rd.luks.uuid=luks-4c661f95-7836-4227-8228-d4d27ecc1d7a rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova_core modprobe.blacklist=…

So when I removed it with your command, I saw the decryption passphrase screen popup for a millisecond as the entire page freezes. I have to go back into GRUB and set it to nomodeset for it to boot into my normal operating system. Could this be a bug? Thanks agian. -jyoamam28

I don’t think it is a bug, but something is off about the config that requires nomodeset as a kernel option. The nvidia modules appear to be loading properly but nomodeset is interfering with operation and should not be required for booting. Maybe someone else has an idea here. Please run sudo ls…

The same 7 lines, so no smoking gun yet. Hope someone else can assist as I am out of ideas for now.
