I’m on Fedora 25 and have done a fresh install dual boot w10 F25 and went to install the latest NVidia drivers and get the error of :
Last few lines out of install.log
→ Driver file installation is complete.
Got the VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] (rev a1)
This is a new twist in a otherwise previously smooth driver install process.
So any advice or links to?

I have had a good “nvidia install with F25” I’m rebuilding from something that went south under VLC. I was trying to get VLC to play across all three screens and not understanding what I was doing I see.
Went back to re-install nvidia driver after restoring disk from backup-image, pre-nvidia driver install, and it fails as I have posted.
I love Fedora and my NVidia graphics card which drives my three monitors.
As for error I get the “Something went wrong” screen on Fedora on boot after I try and install the driver.
Gnome didn’t add nvidia support in time for F25.

TBH you are better of sticking to Xorg session as Wayland has induced many issues.

Block Code Formatting eh? okay will do.
I compiled 4.9 myself from F26 kernel git and added some AMD CPU fixes.
Just updated and tried again. Same result.
Is there a more detailed output possible for the NVidia driver install?
Why don’t you start again and use the rpmfusion driver instead
[url]Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
[url]Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
For the record I have installed the NVidia driver any times before without problems.
This is all new to me.
I will try the rpmfusion
If secureboot is enabled you have to sign the module so it will load.
Did the RPM Fusion and same “Something went wrong” screen on re-boot.
I will update the Bios if it needs it. Other than that I am confused.
Again no problems before this re-build of my system. I wonder about the secure boot and the signed modules.
dmesg can show if it’s a signing issue
dmesg |grep -e signature -e NVIDIA
My system doesn’t use secureboot
$ dmesg |grep -e signature -e NVIDIA

This secure boot issue has not presented itself on this hardware before. What has changed?
I fear there is no example to follow with the NVidia installer on Secure Boot install?
As it is for many we don’t invest our time into learning new things about our computers until we have to.UEFI Secure Boot Guide
Okay;
This is presenting itself as a key-signing issue now.
Way over my Aim-AN-Click reality :(
So with Fedora 25 of late, I am exploring signed modules of the Admin level in perspective of my point&Click lifestyle.
Eyes open. What is Gold here?
