Hi,
when i boot on Fedora CD/DVD (whatever it is as version 17/18) result of a blank screen. to be able to install i need to install with troubleshooting mode and "run in basic graphic mode"
i have a nvida graphic card so i guess here is the problem. is there a solution to run in a better resolution than what basic graphic mode propose ?
if not, i guess i must setup video resolution manually in x11 conf. where can i find a good tutorial for that point ? because when i tried Fed17 i had the same problem and i was not able to setup video correctly so i got a blank screen from restart :(
thx

Guides for installing the proprietary Nvidia driver are here http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia and here http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=280750. They outline two different ways to get to the same goal. I've had success with the first method, while others have not and prefer the second.
The driver should boot your display in the correct resolution, so it's unlikely that you will need to edit xorg.conf to set that.

The one thing you don't want to have to do is download the binary blob from nVidia and use it. If you do, you'll have to reinstall it every time there's a kernel update. Using either the kmod or akmod automates the process for you.

i'm sad because nothing work with nvidia driver installation steps.
here is what i did: 1st test: su yum update kernel* selinux-policy* reboot su yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noa... http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stab... yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
i get the following error message: GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-non-fedora-18-x86_64
i got the same error message if i use: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
2nd test /sbin/lspci | grep VGA
i see my graphic card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
next i typed: yum install akmod-nvidia
once again the same error message :-(
i search on internet and i just found that such package has no key... so what next ? :( thx

RTFM. Checking, I see that there's an option for exactly this situation: --nogpgcheck and I know from personal experience that rpmfusion sometimes has trouble with this.

OK after some more research on internet i found this article : http://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/fedora-18-missing-video-decoder-a... combined with other 2, it helps me to installed everything as i wanted and it works well. thx

Good. Please note that I only suggested that option because I trust rpmfusion. Unless you're sure it's safe, it's probably better not to try it, especially with an obscure third-party repo.

---- sort of an uninformed opinion offered to solve a problem (which indeed worked) and by not understanding the risks involved, you couldn't properly note the risks to the person you were advising.
You should install the repo key on your system prior to ever installing packages. If you import the key, you don't have this problem. Instructions are on rpmfusion.org website for this purpose.
Yum's 'nogpgcheck' option bypasses the signature requirement on packages which means that you could install packages from anyone claiming to be rpmfusion.org. It is relatively simple to poison someone's DNS and direct them to some other repo so while you trust rpmfusion.org, you are also trusting your DNS not to lie to you.

I do. I've been having intermittent issues with rpmfusion (only) about packages where the key doesn't match on my F16 desktop for over a year. Today, there was one update from there and it installed without a problem, with the gpg check enabled, so it looks like I should have the right key installed.

I normally use yumex every day and when the error pops up, I unselect everything from rpmfusion and tell yumex to try again. Then, I examine the remaining updates to make sure they're what I expect to see and tell yumex to turn off the gpg check for that run only. I'm very, very careful about what I allow to update that way and I'd never suggest that anybody turn it off completely, or if they're not sure that they trust the repo in question. And, if you'll go back and look at what I originally wrote, I made sure to warn the OP to be careful with it. (I'll go even farther, now: if you're not sure it's safe, or you're not comfortable with doing it, don't.)

Everything else is just chatter.

I added a comment to a bugzilla at rpmfusion when it first popped up, but never heard back other than a claim that it was fixed, followed by "oh no it's not!"

It's a rather annoying bug http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs#PackageKit_cannot_install_unsigned_packages_or_packages_signed_with_an_untrusted_key.
If you are using this page at rpmfusion http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs#PackageKit_cannot_install_unsigned_packages_or_packages_signed_with_an_untrusted_key, scroll down to "Command Line Setup Using rpm" and copy and paste the appropriate incantation into a terminal window. You shouldn't see any more GPG key error messages.
Don't forget to read what it says here http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia about getting the vdpua/vaapi files if you have a GeForce 8 or later card.
