This is more of a OS question but I don’t know where else to ask for help
I went to boot up my laptop this morning to play some games and it’s been stuck on this screen all day I’ve tried powering it off and on several times but it hasn’t loaded yet my mouse pops up on the screen and I can load into the BIOS so I don’t think it’s a screen issue but I got no clue what’s going on

Ask Ubuntu
What is a tty, and how do I access a tty?
I keep hearing about these things known as tty's.
what are they
how can I access them
what do they do?

if you can't swap to another tty, i suggest posting on KDE's forum for better help

Do I do that in boot or on the main screen
That I’m stuck on
genetic-orange•2mo ago
on the screen you're stuck on
fair-roseOP•2mo ago
Yeah nothing happened
genetic-orange•2mo ago
yeah, def head to the official support forum that i posted
fair-roseOP•2mo ago
Wait nvm I clicked f3 Instead of 3
genetic-orange•2mo ago
that's correct, it's ctrl+alt+f3
i wrote it wrong
fair-roseOP•2mo ago
What should I do from hear
genetic-orange•2mo ago
you could check the journal
i'm not 100% sure what it is for your distro, but i think it's
journalctl --boot=-1
or journalctl -b -1
that will pull up the logs for the last boot sequence, not the current onefair-roseOP•2mo ago
Okay now my whole screen Is filled with text from the first command
genetic-orange•2mo ago
yeah, so you can scroll down in that and look for any errors. you can use page down or page up to navigate them
i'm no expert on how to read those, but if something looks odd you can post it here

Grub stuck on splash screen
Just installed KDE Neon 6.2 to evaluate. While the live cd did boot fine into the UI, after the actual installation and booting through GRUB (dual boot with Windows) the system gets stuck at a black screen.

This is the stuff that look weird there was more but I only sent you the errors
genetic-orange•2mo ago
nothing in there jumps out at me, but again i'm no expert
the experts are going to be on the forum
and again, that thread may have the solution already

Yeah I read though the thread and didn’t understand much of it I’m still new to computer as a whole I only switched to KDE Neon because my college professor told me it make his class easier
But okay I’ll try and make a post on the forum and see if I can get help there thanks for everything
genetic-orange•2mo ago
oof, yeah it probably would make his class easier once you solve this
if you need help translating answers you get you can still use this, but it's probably best to ask questions there or look it up yourself
fair-roseOP•2mo ago
Okay got it thanks for everything bro
