lspci listing

Description of problem: Live USB boots, passes media check, starts display manager and then goes unresponsive. The keyboard doesn't respond, and the screen is totally black.

This is an HP Omen with an NVidia 1050Ti GPU and integrated Intel graphics. If you edit the kernel command line and add "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau" the system boots all the way up and looks like a normal F29 Workstation. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the F29 Live Workstation Beta 1.5 media as shipped

Actual results: black screen, unresponsive keyboard


Expected results: Workstation screen


Additional info: lspci listing and journalctl of **successful** boot with nouveau blacklisted attached. I discovered this issue a few months ago; both Ubuntu 18.04 and Antergos require this boot-time kernel command to come up.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 19:29:35 UTC
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
