I got my system working. I removed the Nvidia stuff and it now runs
Nouveau. The nvidia cards seem to often give grief!
Removed nvidia packages
```
sudo dnf remove "*nvidia*"
```
Did the regenerate of the ramdisk
```
sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all
```
Removed nvidia blacklist from /etc/default/grub
``
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=UUID=a2af97f4-58c5-4ac6-9a89-04c0cd7f333d rhgb quiet"
```
Updated the grub boot
```
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
```
Reboot and it works.

Well, you don't give us much to go on, but my
first thought was dmesg, which I guess translates to journalctl -k. You will also see
other messages if you look at the user side with --user. I think the gui runs on the user
side, not the system side.
If you aren't seeing anything, I would check to see how you are configed and if you
are trying to start a gui and/or run startx, or similar, manually and see what happens.
I assume you are running X and not Wayland. I don't know anything about Wayland and
I understand it is still a bit limited and buggy.
I checked the fedora docs and it looks like I can run the following
command.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-x-window-system…
```
Xorg :1 -configure
```
I feel sort of dumb because I am not exactly familiar with the details
on Wayland. I remember digging into Xorg back in the day and the Wayland
stuff just seemed to work. Except, that doesn't quite seem to be the
case with older Nvidia cards.
I will check the `journalctl -k`. I was checking `journalctl -xe` and I
didn't see anything... This could explain why!
