I’m running updated Rocky Linux 9.4, and once again, when I reboot Nvidia fails to start and I’m stuck with Nouveau.
graphics card is a Geforce GTX 750 Ti (rev a2)
/var/log/messages contains a number of entries about nvidia:
the final one being:
Jun 15 13:26:52 rockybox systemd[1]: Fallback to nouveau as nvidia did not load was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionPathExists=!/sys/module/nvidia).
earlier entries (in order, but earlier than the above) are:
