Correction to above... Issuing a "user$ sudo reboot" does reboot the system, it just takes about 20 seconds. But doing, say "user$ sudo pkill X" (or killing the equivalent X/Xorg process number), results in a hung, unresponsive display. I can still ssh into the laptop remotely (the underlying O/S is still running) and reboot it that way. However even trying to kill the X server from a remote login results in a display hang, too. More information ... Just as a temporary trial, I also tried the latest RAWHIDE kernel: ============================================================= user$ rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep 4.4.0 ============================================================= kernel-modules-extra-4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64 kernel-modules-4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64 kernel-core-4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64 kernel-4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64 ============================================================= That kernel does allow me to "Exit" the X/XFCE server, but, sadly: (1) It's a RAWHIDE kernel, and (2) Compiling the NVIDIA driver (user$ sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-358.16.run) now fails, as shown next. So GPU capability is totally unavailable. ======================================================================= [ ... /var/log/nvidia-installer.log -- SNIP ... ] FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'lock_release' /usr/src/kernels/4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64/scripts/Makefile.modpost:91: recipe for target '__modpost' failed make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 make[3]: Target '_modpost' not remade because of errors. /usr/src/kernels/4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64/Makefile:1391: recipe for target 'modules' failed make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64' Makefile:146: recipe for target 'sub-make' failed make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Target 'modules' not remade because of errors. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.4.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc24.x86_64' Makefile:81: recipe for target 'modules' failed make: *** [modules] Error 2 ====================================================================== Reverting back to the latest released kernel (this was just a try). Fedora does not provide or support proprietary modules. You will need to take this up with whomever is providing those. |
