First I tried installing CUDA for blender cycles renderer. That broke my driver installation.
Then I removed anything nvidia with sudo dnf remove *nvidia*, which made my system return to the nouveau driver (which works great btw, it’s just too slow for what I need)
Now, every time I go sudo dnf install nvidia-driver, it installs it, and when I reboot, my screen is all blown up and using an incorrectly small resolution I cannot change in the settings:
Also nvidia-smi is not being installed. So a lot of stuff is going wrong…
I also think it is not actually running the nvidia driver, since anything accelerated, like the GNOME animations are turned off.
It would be amazing if someone were to provide me with help on this! <3
It seems you are using fedora, me too. I use the instructions here for the proprietary drivers: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Current_GeForce.2FQuadro.2FTesla
Make sure to start from a clean slate by running the instructions at the bottom to uninstall any previous drivers.
If you need nvidia-smi, cuda etc, run the optional cuda install instructions, part of the link I provided.
