Hi @pedroborraz, could you send me the output of:

systemctl --all | grep nvidia

Also I need to know how did you installed the Nvidia drivers (eg: akmod-nvidia from rpmfusion)?

Greetings :)

output:

borraz@fedora:~$ systemctl --all | grep nvidia
  nvidia-fallback.service                                                                   loaded    inactive dead      Fallback to nouveau as nvidia did not load
  nvidia-powerd.service                                                                     loaded    inactive dead      nvidia-powerd service

I installed the drivers from the rpmfusion non free repo, from gnome software.

thanks for the quick attention

Looks like the rpmfusion package is missing the nvidia-persistenced dependency.

Try installing it with:

sudo dnf install nvidia-persistenced

Let me know if it works ;)
