Description hoboprimate 2020-10-30 17:28:51 CET

I installed the nvidia driver from Gnome software, after enabling the repository for it. As expected, the nouveau driver was blacklisted in the grub entry.
Later, I removed the nvidia driver, but nouveau stayed blacklisted.
I had to manually remove the blacklisting text from /etc/default/grub and rerun grub2-mkconfig.

Can you post the complete /etc/default/grub before you have removed the nouveau blacklist by hand ?

Ok, just reinstalled nvidia from rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver and here's how /etc/default/grub is:

GRUB_TIMEOUT="5"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 10 (on /dev/sda1)"
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU="true"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 resume=UUID=d38d62ed-997e-4e92-80a9-622a11df95c1 rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG="true"

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false"
