Comment 8 for bug 2051450

I went into the recovery with "nomodeset" option. I installed the up-to-date driver "nvidia-driver-545". I rebooted, the bootup process was quick and it went straight to the login screen without a problem. The only thing I noticed is that after I entered my credentials and hit the enter key it took about 2 minutes to completely load up to the desktop screen. I clocked it as I was watching the time on my cell phone. This has been a problem with the nvidia drivers for a while. I don't remember the bug tracker number at this moment.

As I am checking the logs of the current boot I noticed that the nvidia driver has tainted the kernel. The nvidia module is "out-of-tree" which means it's outside of the Linux Kernel source tree. This happens when a module uses proprietary code and is not approved by (Linux Kernel Developers), my guess, or has buggy code.
Apparently I can safely ignore this warning message.

I ran this command:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted

Which gives me this error code: 4097

I go to this website: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.html
To find the "Table for decoding tainted state". I get "G/P O".

I ran the command "journalctl -b-0" for the current boot log. I left the log in the attachment. Thank you.
