F30 - KDE on nouveau driver freezes at login

[Barry Scott]

I just raised https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1706756
about this problem.

KDE is complete dead after login on Fedora 30 with nouveau.

I you have nvidia hardware I suggest testing that lKDE live image works for you before updating.
Wish I had...

Interestingly, f30 is the first release to work reliably with nouveau (on my 
hybrid intel/nouveau laptop, all prior releases I had to blacklist nouveau 
to get anything remotely working).

Nouveau works for me when running wayland, as soon as I try
to run X, I get a black screen and the monitor telling me
unrecognized signal.

As near as I can tell, it screws up the EDID when running X
and comes up with an absurd video setting.

EDID is done in the kernel and not in wayland or X11 user space.
When EDID is bad I recall that you get messages in dmesg.
Did you get thoses messages? I did not get them.

last  2 years.

Same experience here. Install failed several times; finally got through
it. Booted to multi-user target and installed NVIDIA driver; stable now.

card: nVidia GeForce GT 630

Yes this fixes the problem and has been released, just did a dnf upgrade to 
install it.
