[SOLVED]boot to black screen since an week.

Hi,when i boot i get to an screen with an flashing underbar and i have to ctrl-alt-f2 to an new session,from there i can launch startplasma-wayland and everything work fine.

sometime i cant even use ctrl-alt-f* and have to force reboot,not sure where to find the log for this.

well after an lot of troubleshooting it seems to be related to either sddm or when an wayland session is created

I had some issues with the new nvidia driver which sound tangentially related. Something that helped me was running rpm-ostree kargs --append=nvidia-drm.fbdev=0rpm-ostree kargs --append=nvidia-drm.fbdev=0 and then rebooting. If you are in a similar situation, you could try that and let me know if it helps at all?

If it doesn't help you can undo it with rpm-ostree kargs --delete=nvidia-drm.fbdev=0rpm-ostree kargs --delete=nvidia-drm.fbdev=0

Are you on latest or testing?

AforisOP•12/16/23, 10:22 PM

Latest

AforisOP•12/16/23, 10:24 PM

Should i try testing?

Kyle Gospo•12/16/23, 10:24 PM

No, I was thinking you might be on testing. Some AMD gpus don't like the HDR patches in the kernel

Kyle Gospo•12/16/23, 10:24 PM

So a work around had to be made to prevent them from applying

Kyle Gospo•12/16/23, 10:24 PM

But if that's not your issue then I'm going to need logs to figure this out

AforisOP•12/16/23, 10:57 PM

is latest and testing the same thing?

AforisOP•12/16/23, 10:57 PM

havent rebase since the pre 1.0 patch

Kyle Gospo•12/16/23, 11:01 PM

Nope

Kyle Gospo•12/16/23, 11:01 PM

Testing has a bunch of changes for the steam deck OLED right now, including HDR support

AforisOP•12/16/23, 11:03 PM

im on latest,should i try stable?

Kyle Gospo•12/16/23, 11:04 PM

Latest is stable

AforisOP•12/16/23, 11:06 PM

if i manage to ctrl-alt-f2 i can manually start startplasma-wayland and desktop work just fine,if i boot and disable sddm it still hang.and i cant find the log on why

AforisOP•12/16/23, 11:07 PM

il do an update and see if it still does it

AforisOP•12/16/23, 11:21 PM

samething,if i turn my computer on with my main screen off ,wait till it it hang ,ctrl-alt-f2 ,turn main screen on and do startplasma-wayland i can manage to get to desktop

AforisOP•12/16/23, 11:57 PM

alright, after an lot of debugging seem its related to SDDM

AforisOP•12/17/23, 1:08 AM

yep,sddm can launch fine,if i try to start kde in X11 from sddm it work,but if i try to launch it i in wayland mode it hang the whole system, but startplasma-wayland work if i use it from an terminal

AforisOP•12/22/23, 6:08 PM

issue solved, using fish as the default shell was causing the issue,reverting to bash solved it

Indigo•12/23/23, 12:54 AM

welp, I use fish too. wonder if it is causing any problems. thanks for sharing.

Kyle Gospo•12/23/23, 4:03 AM

Next update may fix this, had to adjust a few different scripts from valve and chimera so that they always launch with bash

Kyle Gospo•12/23/23, 4:03 AM

That being said upstream Fedora recommends never changing your shell globally

Kyle Gospo•12/23/23, 4:04 AM

The better option is to change it in your terminal specifically and not for the whole shell
