Description of problem: After installing the nvidia proprietary drivers, and later on updating the grub configuration file (with grub2-mkconfig) the nvidia driver stops properly functioning until it gets completely uninstalled and then installed again post reboot. Kernel: 4.3.5-300 (also happened on 4.2.3-300) Grub2 ver: 2.02-0.25.fc23 How reproducible: Easily/Perfectly Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Nvidia drivers (with rpmfusion http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia ) 2. echo "GRUB_THEME=\"/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt\"" >> /etc/default/grub 3. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg 4. reboot Actual results: Xorg fails to load nvidia drivers (without giving a specific error) and desktop environment starts in fallback mode after crashing; if xorg is forced to load the nvidia driver, the kernel bugs out as X is loaded and gives the error "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request..." Expected results: nvidia proprietary drivers continue functioning as they did before the grub configuration file was regenerated. Additional info: Not sure if adding the GRUB_THEME line is actually needed to reproduce the error, but that is what I did.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '23'. 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 23 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.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
