Not receiving video signal

Shortly after booting up and logging into my PC it sends me back to the log in screen but every time that I want to log in again it stops sending a video signal to my screen. I don't really have any experience with Linux so I also don't have an idea what might cause this issue. It's super frustrating because it makes my PC unstable most of the time. I hope someone can help me

@RealDishwash has this fixed for you? i would try logging in with x11 for now and see if that fixes it can change it from wayland to X11 in the login screen (usually towards the bottom)

Yeah no it's still happening occasionally
tryhardsoccermomswag
have you tried my solution above? switching to X11 in the login screen
RealDishwash
RealDishwash5mo ago
I'll try it soon
tryhardsoccermomswag
yeah if it works, it's a workaround and i think this needs to be investigated

It seems to have stopped for me today Try "rpm-ostree upgrade" and "systemctl reboot" and see if it's gone after updating? My image got updated twice and this stopped happening

Should I just type it into the command bar? (I'm sure that's not it's name)
RealDishwash
RealDishwash5mo ago
Type those into the program called konsole
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Yeah that's the one I meant I'll try it out later It stopped working before I could even type out the command Solving this will be fun I just managed to type out both Now we'll have to see I'll tell if I'm encountering it again sometime soon Seems to be fine for now, thanks! Okay it seems like it's not fine It's still behaving like this :/
tryhardsoccermomswag

im on a 5700xt, haven't had the issue for a few days now

I am at least I can check for updates This is just driving me crazy Out of 15 attempts it didn't "crash" one time I don't think I will keep using this system It's just unusable

Maybe try ublue kinoite?
Bananek

Does it include Proton?
tryhardsoccermomswag
steam does proton is not bazzite exclusive lol or only available in certain distros. steam for linux includes it. they said try rebasing to kinoite from bazzite to see if that fixes the issue. although unless you rebase to a universal blue image, you will lose nvidia drivers bizarre issue though i can't reproduce it on my desktop journalctl -b in a host terminal next time this happens and you can boot into a desktop

Did you try switching to x11 btw? Doing this But afaik you should be defaulting to x11 since you have nvidia
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Yep but I always just end up getting a blackscreen But in Wayland you're going to get an epileptic seizure Because of all this flickering
tryhardsoccermomswag
thats nvidia drivers and wayland
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Which might actually be something that should get mentioned on the website just in case
tryhardsoccermomswag
wait is this happening in applications? lets say like discord or other electron applications
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Yep
tryhardsoccermomswag
yea thats nvidia + wayland
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
In all kinds of applications
tryhardsoccermomswag
that happens on any other linux distro with the newest nvidia drivers on wayland
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
That's problematic cuz I can't switch to anything else So I probably have to go back to Windows
tryhardsoccermomswag
nvidia the only GPU company who has their drives closed source while AMD/Intel open source there is now a reverse engineer effort to have open source nvidia drivers that will be here soon but game performance is going to take a hit since they're still early we plan to have a ujust command to switch between the closed source drivers and these new open source vulkan ones
RealDishwash
RealDishwash5mo ago
Before you go back, I'd try rebasing go kinoite NVIDIA
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
I have no idea what that means
tryhardsoccermomswag
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-nvidia:latest
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Could you please elaborate?
tryhardsoccermomswag
in terminal wait a while reboot you are now on universal blue's kinoite image with nvidia drivers bazzite stuff is now gone which means no more layered steam and other stuff it's another OS basically but you keep your userdata
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
How can it improve my situation?
tryhardsoccermomswag
it helps knowing if there's something in bazzite causing this or it's upstream or your hardware does not like linux or OSTree/OCI
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Oh alright
tryhardsoccermomswag
you can always rebase back to bazzite-nvidia rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:latest to get back
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know Do I have to do anything after typing that in? Cuz it tells me it needs some custom layers Now my Steam is gone

bazzite has steam layered, base kinoite does not
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Ah alright I just started up a PS2 emulator and it seems as if all of the flickering and lagging is gone
1/4 Life
1/4 Life5mo ago
flickering? Were you using Wayland rather than X11?
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
Yeah because X11 just resulted in a blackscreen Which meant I couldn't use it
1/4 Life
1/4 Life5mo ago
Wayland will always flicker on Nvidia, X11 is what must be fixed in your case be good to get some logs
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
That's a little hard to fix because I can't use the console
1/4 Life
1/4 Life5mo ago
control+alt+f4
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
What does this do?
1/4 Life
1/4 Life5mo ago
switches you to a tty so you have a console
Bananek
Bananek5mo ago
What's a tty?
tryhardsoccermomswag
command line it's a terminal for users who cannot login to the desktop environment
