Bazzite boots to desktop, flickers a few times, then black screens with usable cursor
Bazzite 42 ostree 0 has this issue after I removed a second monitor from my setup, going down to a single monitor
Running bazzite KDE no gaming mode Nvidia
2080 super gpu
Ryzen 5 5600
Rog strix b450-f gaming II
When I boot the login screen works fine but when I try to log in the desktop shows as normal with the audio symbol on task bar crossed out as if audio device unavailable and the task bar is unable to be interacted with. The desktop flickers black a few times before finally goes fully black with only cursor on screen able to be moved. Attempting to alt tab gives the message "no active windows" cannot use the windows key to pull up task bar. Ostree1 works fine but does not have software discovery for some reason, so no software updates (also I would prefer to not have to quickly change which ostree I'm booting too every boot)
It is not a display port issue as my Windows copy works fine, it's not a cable issue as I tried switching cables, integrated graphics is off. Attempting to boot into rescue mode instead boots to emergency mode with all checks passing except for sysroot " [FAILED] Failed to mount sysroot.mount - /sysroot. "
