I have 2 production machines with Centos 7.7. They've been off for the summer, and when turned back on X11 won't come up. They use the NVidia manual install driver, so I reinstalled it, but no go. I've tried many things:
- reinstalled the nvidia driver (390.27)
- installed the lastest nvidia drier (430.50)
- switched to nouveau
- tried the onboard intel graphic card
- tried the previous kernel
- switched from gdm to sddm and back
I always end up with variations of a black screen. Sometimes with boot messages. Sometimes I can switch to Ctrl-Alt-F2 console, sometimes all I get is a blinking cursor (I can ssh to the machines though)
