Please note that we DID NOT execute the last step of the guide on how to Recover from NVIDIA installer.Īs it is mentioned in the guide: the NVidia binary driver installer overwrites some configuration and libraries. We installed the NVidia driver, added the CUDA support and updated the system using these two commands:ĭnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda Īnd then we did a full reboot of the machine.Īfter the machine booted and the graphical interface came up, we noticed that the machine was too slow and there was 100% CPU utilization for over 15 minutes.Īfter some very efficient Google-Fu, we realised that this was some bug that we were not willing to deal with and so we had to remove the newly installed NVidia driver.Īgain following the RPM Fusion guide, we executed the following command to remove the driver from our system: We hoped that the OBS studio black screen issue was a driver issue so we decided to follow the RPM Fusion guide on installing NVidia drivers. Initially we thought it would be a good idea to install the NVidia driver since we had a GeForce GTX 660M on the machine. The way we fixed these issues is not something that is always guaranteed to work but it is worth a try!

when trying to record a LibreOffice application like Calc through the Window Capture (XComposite) source, Calc would not show in the properties dialog under the Window dropdown menu.when recording using the Screen Capture (XSHM) source, the recording would only show a black screen and it would actually record the mouse only!.What that post did not mention are two issues that we had: 5 January 2018 in GNU/Linux tagged black screen / cuda / fedora / fix / GeForce GTX 660M / nvidia / obs / obs-studio / rpmfusion / Screen Capture (XSHM) / Window Capture (XComposite) by TuxĪs mentioned in a previous post, we installed OBS studio on our machine in order to make some desktop recordings.
