So, when we had a nvidia pakcage update on my laptop, I thought I'd give the Mageia package another go, but it makes sack-all difference, it still just sits there doing nothing and says: Failed to start Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit So I went and looked on my laptop and it looks like it's v 295.49 whereas the very latest version is 304.43. I need this for my modern graphics card or the desktop refuses to boot. So, why bother with v295.49 when there's a much more modern one? You can follow this guide with your own risk: 3. Installing proprietaty video driver for Nvidia from Mageia Russian Community repository Be careful! That are unofficial repo and unofficial driver package! That can do some problems with your system like x-server don't start at system launching, etc. If you don't know what you doing - don't do these actions! for i586 su urpmi.addmedia --wget --distrib MageiaLinux.ru-i586- http://packages.mageialinux.ru/mageia2/i586/ exit for x86_64 su urpmi.addmedia --wget --distrib MageiaLinux.ru-x86_64- http://packages.mageialinux.ru/mageia2/x86_64/ exit Open RpmDrake GUI and use search. You need find and install x11-driver-video-nvidia-current and dkms-nvidia-current packages with version 304.60 and prefix 1.mrc.mga2. Installation will be long. After installation you need reboot your PC. http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/1/846939071448270483/ -- Dimitrios Glentadakis
