CentOS 7 install NVIDIA graphics driver

    There are two main ways to install NVIDIA graphics drivers for CentOS 7:
    1. Installed through the EPEL
    2. Installed through the NVIDIA official installation package
    I first tried install through the EPEL warehouse. Although there was no problem during the installation process, the NVIDIA driver did not take effect, and it has not been successful although I tried different methods. Finally, through the second: NVIDIA official installation package installed successfully!

    CentOS 7 Installing NVIDIA Graphics Driver

    Shield nouveau driver

    Nouveau is a display driver that comes with the system and needs to be disabled before proceeding to the next step.
    uncomment nvidiafb in /lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf :
    #blacklist nvidiafb
    Then add the configuration in the next line:
    blacklist nouveau  
options nouveau modeset=0
    Finally the whole file looks like this:
    [root@test ]# vi /lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf 

#
# Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it.
# Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,
# no matter which driver happens to get probed first.  Sometimes user
# mode tools can also control driver binding.
#
# Syntax: see modprobe.conf(5).
#

# watchdog drivers

    Rebuilding initramfs image

    If the /boot partition is not large enough, you can back up to another directory
    mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img.bak  
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

    Change to terminal mode

    If you have previously operated in the graphical interface, you need to change to terminal mode, and the runlevel is changed to 3.
    systemctl set-default multi-user.target

    Install kernel-devel

    Need kernel-devel support.
    yum install kernel-devel -y
    If you upgraded the kernel via elrepo, then install it with the following command:
    yum install kernel-ml-devel.x86_64 -y

    Kill X related processes

    ps -ax | grep X
    The output examples are as follows:
    [root@nvss239 jstnvr]# ps -ax | grep X
 1201 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/abrt-watch-log -F Backtrace /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- /usr/bin/abrt-dump-xorg -xD
 1557 tty1     Ssl+   8:39 /usr/bin/X :0 -background none -noreset -audit 4 -verbose -auth /run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-EVsyyE/database -seat seat0 -nolisten tcp vt1
 9863 pts/0    Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc :1 -auth /root/.Xauthority -desktop nvss239:1 (root) -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d -geometry 1024x768 -pn -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -rfbwait 30000
10043 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
14742 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto X
    Then kill all related processes by the following command:
    kill 1201 1557 9863 10043

    Installing NVIDIA Graphics Driver

    1. First go to the official website to download the driver corresponding to your graphics card.
      https://www.geforce.com/drivers
    2. Then execute the following command to start the installation of the NVIDIA graphics driver:
    bash ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-430.40.run -k $(uname -r)
    Must be preceded by the -k parameter or the installation will fail.

    Enable desktop mode

    Previously we changed the operating mode to terminal mode and now change back to desktop mode.
    systemctl set-default graphical.target

    Reboot the system

    reboot

    Check the driver installation

    Execute NVIDIA official tools to detect driver installation:
    nvidia-smi
    The sample output is as follows:
    [root@test ]# nvidia-smi
