From what I hear all people have to do is make sure rpmfusion is in repo and yum update This is the only thread were it has failed like this I guess the only thing left to try is not do it through yum but add/remove software It should not make a bit of difference, but you may want to remove the driver go back to nouveau and try the proprietary driver through add/remove software, as well as the kmod for the kernel version. Then lower protection (selinix) then rdblacklist=nouveau on kernel lines in grub.conf The horror show -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
