Yes, but the biggest problem for an isolated user will be getting from a 
black boot screen to the starting point.  Quoting from Ed:


You can boot and when the kernel selection comes up type "e" and then 
add "3" to to linux line and the "control-X"


Or, boot normally and use "control-Alt-F3" to get to a terminal. This 
may or may not work for you.


Use lspci and find the line the line for nvidia or use "lspci | grep -i 
nvidia"


Thank-you John.  I agree.

The omissions were not intentional.

No.  You have akmod-nvidia-470xx installed and not akmod-nvidia.

So, if there is an upgrade to akmod-nvidia-470xx, that will be 
upgraded.  But since you do't have akmod-nvidia

that will not be installed/upgraded.


Understood.  Thank-you, Ed.

So, you went from 470 which did support your card to 495 which adds many

I'm using my old windows-7 box to do e-mail.

I did my weekly patches ("dnf upgrade") an hour ago.  After rebooting, 
after the rightmost rectangle turns white, I get the message "NVIDIA 
kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau.". A few seconds later, 
the 3 rectangles turn orange.  Then the screens go black and nothing 
further happens.  I have to use the reset button on the top of the 
tower.  The behavior is the same no matter which of the 3 grub menu 
Fedora entries I choose.  No luck with the rescue mode (f30).  I do 
have an f31 live USB stick, but that has no e-mail client.


How do I get my f34 working properly?  All I have to work with is 
windows-7 (this is a dual-boot workstation) and the f31 live USB 
stick.  Please keep in mind that I'm a "home user" with no sys.admin. 
training.  My sys.admin. skills are *very* basic.


Using "Ext2explore", I was able to copy to my windows-7 admin account 
the logs from this afternoon's "dnf upgrade".  I chopped out everything 
from previous weeks' patching, except the last line of last week's 
patching.  I put the file on the google drive here:


"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fxTF49_u0fKFMbTE-3fotbVv12s1soH7/view?usp=sharing;

Maybe that will help?

Yep, that's the problem.  The 495 driver doesn't support the GTX 660 any longer.

Use the "e" thing then.

sudo dnf erase *nvidia* followed by
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-470xx

Check the file /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log to make sure the drivers are built.

Either boot your system to level 3, or switch to a terminal,

Then, show what nVidia HW you have.


How do I do those 2 steps?

If it helps, the windows-7 control panel -> hardware and sound -> 
NVIDIA Control Panel says I have GeForce GTX 660. It would have been 
bought in 2013.


You can boot and when the kernel selection comes up type "e" and then 
add "3" to to linux line and the "control-X"


Or, boot normally and use "control-Alt-F3" to get to a terminal. This 
may or may not work for you.


Use lspci and find the line the line for nvidia or use "lspci | grep 
-i nvidia"




Then do "rpm -qa | grep nvidia"


That is the most important part.  The GTX 660 requires the 470xx drivers.



Have you gotten the nVidia stuff from rpmFusion?

If I remember correctly, I got the nVidia stuff from rpmFusion back 
in 2013.  I see "kmod" being patched/updated almost every time I do 
the weekly "dnf update".

I think you may still be able to boot an earlier kernel.  Then see my

was the default until earlier this week.



I cannot boot to anything in my grub menu except windows-7.
