I tracked down the issues with the NVIDIA proprietary driver failing with recent CL releases. Particularly, the missing gears icon on the login screen and Firefox crashing. I will re-release the nvidia-driver-on-clear-linux repository after addition testing; eta before Christmas.
Journey taken:
-
The Nouveau driver works fine in Fedora 37, but must disable Wayland (e.g. /etc/gdm/custom.conf). In Clear Linux, the Nouveau driver fails with Xorg and Wayland.
-
The NVIDIA proprietary driver is working in Fedora 37. This includes seeing the gears icon on the login screen for choosing “GNOME on Xorg” or “GNOME on Wayland”. No issues with Firefox either.
-
A new attempt running Clear Linux using NVIDIA graphics. The finale release will be my completed journey.
Edit:
The issues are resolved in 3rd makeover re-release: New NVIDIA driver automation - #32 by marioroy
