Created attachment 1369 [details] Xorg log exceprt from journatctl gdm fails to start due to xorg server faiures. See attached log file for details. Kernel is 3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 I've installed the driver with "yum -y install kmod-nvidia" and by that implicitly the packages xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-343.22-3.fc21.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-343.22-3.fc21.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-343.22-4.fc21.1.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64-343.22-4.fc21.1.x86_64 Beside the problem, that the xorg server fails, the major issue is that the whole system remains inaccessible after this failure. The screen is black and there's no chance to get any kind of user interface. At least a login shell should appear. Not even error messages appear on the screen and there's no chance to remotely login via ssh. Maybe a simple and reasonable "init 3" would do the job, in case of a failure. Fortunately I had a second kernel without the nvidia kernel module installed and I fortunatley know how to boot to single user mode via the Grub shell - fortunately! This is however not state of the art error handling. Nvidia cards are standard and the nouveau driver is unusable when it comes to 3d applications and these open source nvidia drivers have been unusable since decades. Not even mit virtualbox clients will boot wiithout the nvidia driver. I have to use the proprietary driver and if it fails there should at least be a login shell. Thanks!
