I did a system update yesterday which installed kernel 6.17.5 plus a
host of other packages and now when I boot after all the boot messages
are finished, it switches to a black screen and goes no further. In this
state with kernel 6.17.5 using ctrl+alt+F2 does nothing, but if I boot
into kernel 6.17.4 I still get the black screen issue but I can use
ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to a console so that I can login. After logging in
I can run startx which gets me to a Gnome Desktop where I can write this
email.
Looking at journalctl for nvidia message I found the message Nov 04
07:17:20 fedora systemd[1]: nvidia-fallback.service - Fallback to
nouveau as nvidiadid not load was skipped because of an unmet condition
check (ConditionPathExists=!/sys/module/nvidia) but I don't understand
what that message means particularly when the kernel 6.17.4 module was
working fine but not since yesterdays update. I haven't rerun akmods yet
to see if that corrects the issue or whether the issue is the module has
lost its Secure Boot signature which I have had happen a few times in
the past. Looking at the above message I have determined that the
specified path does exist and is not empty, unless the message is
indicating that it is expecting to not find that path?
