How to install NVIDIA drivers for Fedora(also GRUB stopped showing up by default when I tried)
by Destinyblade from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MGSD)
Device - HP pavillion e3022-TX
OS - Fedora
GPU - Nvidia Mx250 25 watt variant
I installed RPMfusion and the nonfree rep. I opened 'software' navigated to third party repositories and enabled the 'non-free' repository for NVIDIA drivers. I installed them and went to restart.
The very second I hit restart my system just froze at the 'it will restart in 60 seconds' message. I couldn't move my mouse at all. After a long time, I pressed the power button to shut it down from there and restarted. when I did that I got the message - NVIDIA Kernel Module Missing - Falling Back to Nouveau.
I looked it up online and saw suggestions that I should disable secure boot. I did so and now it keeps booting back to windows by default. To open Fedora, I need to hit the f9 key, then select fedora and then GRUB shows up.
