Black Screen On Startup
AMD CPU + GPU. GNOME DE.
Worked fine for ~2 months (was actually on BlueFin) until about 2-3 weeks ago, after boot would simply hang. Control+Alt F2/F3 and various permutations had no effect. We eventually using an older ostree which worked fine.
We decided to try a fresh Bazzite install now that it's been a few weeks. Even the install live USB now has this issue. If i go to Troubleshooting > Install with low graphics
then it will procede for some period of time before having an "unknown error". The stack trace is quite long but it has to do with a "Unknown Device Error" when handling a payload. We attempted to do it again with the WiFi disabled but encountered the same error at appox the same time.
Did a search for black screen and noticed that most recent issues appear to be with NVidia, but this is an AMD card. Also tried to edit my grub boot option with a
noacpi which didn't change anything noticeable.6 replies
