xrandr

[jonesp@localhost ~]$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
XWAYLAND0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 190mm
   1920x1080     60.05*+

In the instructions page I see the below now

"Wayland

Gnome with Wayland and NVIDIA doesn't work together at this point. There are probably issues around libglvnd, and mutter might need to enable support for egl-device (which is the NVIDIA API for buffer management as opposed to Mesa GBM). "

So what do I do? Alternative?

Should I do this? https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/96134/how-can-i-set-xorg-as-a-default-on-fedora-25/

Yes, If you want to use nvidia.

Or you could select 'gnome xorg' from gdm select session

I wonder why the default in Fedora 26 is Wayland and it's not supported by Nvidia. In this case, it would be have been good if you gave a warning early, during driver installation I had not even gone down to read the Wayland warning. Even if I had, I would have thought it's for people who do other customization. Thought everything would just work out of the box.

Thanks anyway, I tried gnome xorg, I got the nvidia-settings GUI to run, but now it said xconfig file is missing, asked me to run nvidia-xconfig and restart. I did that, and then onwards I have not been able to log in to gnome xorg.

I decided to reinstall Nvidia drivers as per instructions from xorg gnome, for that I'm reinstalling Fedora from scratch.

Thanks for the support.

It's gnome/mutter that doesn't support nvidia wayland, I suspect your using optimus hardware or the nvidia kernel failed to compile.
Without any logs it's just a guess

Running  nvidia-xconfig is guaranteed to break your install, nvidia-settings warning should be ignored.
The driver package already has the required conf files, FYI the file nvidia-settings is referring to has been obsolete since Fedora 12/13 release. 

Next time post the output file for 


sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh

Or maybe you have secure boot enabled?

Next time I'll post the output of nvidia-bug-report. And I'll ignore warnings of nvidia-settings.

I don't know if secure boot is enabled. My BIOS settings has no such option, neither it has an option to turn off Optimus/integrated-graphics. (Tell if me there is something else I should try.)

I have reinstalled Fedora 26 and later will login gnome using xorg and install nvidia drivers. I hope everything will be fine then.

Thanks a lot for quick replies. :) Is it better to wait for me to install and see everything works fine and then mark this as solved? I'll update in a day. Or should we mark this solved and if something goes wrong I'll file a new bug report?

I reinstalled, and now it's working. Thanks for the help.

But the same old suspend-resume-blackscreen problem is still there. This was the reason I tried Fedora, but now it seems like it's some other problem altogether.

This is not the bug I reported initially, but any suggestion on what I can do regarding this? The problem is, when using Nvidia driver, every single time I suspend the machine, it wakes up to black screen with fan working at high speed. I have to press power button for a few seconds to turn it off again. Please let me know if you can give any directions to fix this issue, or at least where I should be reporting this separate bug.

I have attached the nvidia-bug-report-log file generated.
