Blank screen at login, tty2, login fails with no shell
Hi all! Thanks for working on bazzite.
I have unfortunately hit my first issue in almost a year of use. Which I think is good!
This morning my computer boots to a black screen with the cursor that does nothing.
I can get to a tty screen, but my login doesn't work, its very hard to see but I filmed my screen and can see an error message with my correct credentials
"Bazzite no shell permission denied"The message appears for a single frame. The prompt says
kernel 6.17.5.ba07.fc43.x86_64I saw the Grub menu one time, and unfortunately, I selected option 0 instead of 1. I can't seem to get the Grub menu back. I can seemingly only do Alt+Ctrl+Del to restart. Any help would be much obliged. I think my ujust update command was unsuccessful from memory, and no longer worked. If that's useful. Oh and I was on the bazzite-gnome-nvidia-dx edition

I use the escape key when turning on my laptop to get grub to come up. Grub also comes up if it’s quickly restarted multiple times. I ain’t no pro tho, that’s just what I’ve noticed / what works for me.

Can you get back to Grub from a non logged in tty screen? 🤔 Or the blinking screen?

Thanks, @Ruven ✨ !
I swear I had been trying this. It must have been a matter of timing, because that has worked, finally.
Thanks so much lol
okayyyy - booting into (1) let me back in and I can see my desktop again.
So much stress just left my body 😅
Anytime! I’m having boot issues with Bazzite 43 as well. Rolled back to Bazzite 42 for the time being. There’s a GitHub issue posted for it.
I'll mark this resolved and check it out. Cheers.
