I cannot get the nvidia driver working on my system. When I reboot the system after selecting the appropriate driver in mcc the driver is being replaced with nouveau during the boot process. And if I blacklist the nouveau driver I end up with a black screen.

Now just KDE/Plasma does not let me login (black screen). But this will be a new topic...

You were missing nokmsboot, FWIW.
