Black screen after fresh install
Hey guys, Ive tried fresh installing bazzite onto my legion three times now, fresh iso each time and nothing but a black screen once install finishes. Any ideas?

I would do a checksum on the ISO that you've downloaded, make sure it matches the one on the website. If the ISO is fine. Try this video which I made a while back for solving this kind of issue https://youtu.be/gE1ff72g2Gk. I would try and get into the desktop from the terminal if that fails then I'd try rollback to stable-40-20241014.
amazing ive booted after doing these and fully partioning an external nvme
Youve been a massive help thanks so much, waiting for steam update haha
That's great to hear. Glad you came right!
Did you manage to carry on with the install after getting into desktop or did you need to do a rollback?
Hi there, I'm new to Bazzite as of yesterday and this is the first issue I've run into. Not a great experience! BUT after watching that video (the fix is essentially a single command oddly) I'm now up and playing games! My system is a 3rd gen Core i7, nvidia 3060ti running the desktop install.
Unfortunately, after a reboot the blank screen issue remains. But it's random, it doesn't always do it. An issue like this that seems to have stayed unresolved with Bazzite for a good time now (pre-2024) is no good to me. Sorry to say 😦
For my Nvidia 1050 TI, I get a blank screen when it tries to show the login screen. It's broken for anything past bazzite-nvidia:stable-2024-09-30.0. Weirdly, if I configure an autologin, I don't get the error at all. But it crashes if I log out. So it seems to only affect the SDDM login screen.
I can also press CTRL+ALT+F2 and log in via terminal and start plasma with
/usr/bin/startplasma-wayland . This is my Nvidia install from March this year, and I tinker a fair amount. So not sure if the issue is due to my tinkering or If I'm reproducing your error. I'll need to test with a fresh copy of Bazzite to see if I can reproduce, which I can only do later this week, If needed.
