Bazzite - Grey Screen On Install From Live USB
Hello everyone, I am trying to install Bazzite 41 (Nvidia) from a bootable USB made from Ventoy. It gets through the initial console steps after selecting to test and install it from Grub, but then opens up to a blank grey screen, the mouse can be moved and seen but that is it. I have tried it many times. I couldn't get past 4.8% on the initial install when making a bootable USB from other programs.
I have an Intel I7-12700k and RTX 3080 if that information helps.

When you get to the grub menu with Install, Test media and Troubleshooting. Try Troubleshooting >> Fallback graphics mode
@Mojo do you have a multiple monitors setup? when I first installed
bazzite-deck-nvidia I had exactly your issue, but I later noticed that the installer was running on a powered off monitor attached to the GPU and the principal monitor was only displaying a grey screen for the whole time.Oh yeah, that was the issue, I unplugged the second monitor along with the HDMI audio and it worked, thank you!
nice 🙂! please don't forget to mark the message as solution
ohh,! That could be my issue too. I've just tell the installer to use other video drivers and I can see the installer.
