CUDA on optimus graphics with nvidia's repo
After installing cuda the login screen does not show, how to fix it?
How can I install it in a better way?

Hi Kwong,
Uninstall all NVIDIA software you have installed and reboot the operating system - when the login screen appears press Ctrl + Alt + F3.
Add RPM Fusion repo to the software sources and install the NVIDIA drivers (https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA) and NVIDIA CUDA (https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/CUDA) - once finished reboot the operating system again and now everything should work as expected.
Additional information : wait a few minutes before reboot, though the installation command seems to have finished, it takes some time.
Cheers :)

No, it's not only for fedora, you can use it on RHEL as well : https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration ... and you won't get updates when you don't add a repository - you have to reinstall it every time when a new drivers version gets released, because you installed the NVIDIA software manually by using the "run file method".
I installed the drivers for testing purposes, I am using the open source nouveau drivers.
It showed the NVIDIA chip version in System Settings (Details tab) and the output from lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' showed : kernel driver in use: nvidia.
In the NVIDIA Settings application the used drivers version was listed correctly too.
I have a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 860M graphics adapter in a CLEVO barebone based SCHENKER XMG A704 notebook and use the nouveau drivers right because they support NVIDIA Optimus out-of-the-box (a big advantage). I don't need the proprietary NVIDIA drivers because I do not run any applications which need higher graphics performance. Learn more about all the differences on negativo17.org ... I hope it helps. :)
