Everything seems fine, but I have no network access 😅 happened after I restarted for a System update. Can't figure out what is wrong - help please 😊 Wired connection.

Enabled Wifi, but same problem; connect but cannot reach gateway. (other computers and pads are connected, and they work fine).

I'm running Fedora 41 KDE and had what appeared to be an issue with the system not loading to desktop from the GUI login screen. I am getting a black screen with just the cursor and nothing else. I can get a terminal window going on TTY3-6 to reboot and doing so would load into the desktop pretty much instantly.

Turns out that there's actually a process causing total boot time from power on to exceed 6 minutes. Boot log is viewable here https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/8846c1ec

Using systemd-analyze blame I can see that smartd.service is causing 3 minutes of that boot time. From a quick search it seems like it might be doing a full SMART test of my 3 SSDs on the first boot of the day.

Does anyone know how to disable this at boot? There doesn't appear to be a conf file in /etc/ and smartmontools isn't installed.

Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected] for cor

First I tried installing CUDA for blender cycles renderer. That broke my driver installation.

Then I removed anything nvidia with sudo dnf remove *nvidia*, which made my system return to the nouveau driver (which works great btw, it's just too slow for what I need)

Now, every time I go sudo dnf install nvidia-driver, it installs it, and when I reboot, my screen is all blown up and using an incorrectly small resolution I cannot change in the settings:

Also nvidia-smi is not being installed. So a lot of stuff is going wrong...
I also think it is not actually running the nvidia driver, since anything accelerated, like the GNOME animations are turned off.

It would be amazing if someone were to provide me with help on this! <3
