First time installed EndeavourOS and the Display glitching

Hi everyone, I’m a new Linux user who tried out Manjaro 1 month and now switched to Endeavour OS.

But I have one problem, after fresh installed i3wm (dual boot) I have graphical glitches. I don’t know what caused the problem, but this makes my eyes hurt

Hei @Ares welcome here…
As far as you do not give any information on the hardware in use, we can only call the magic glassball :wink:

  • Login Screen was looking the same?
  • rebooting do not solve this?
lspci > log.txt && lsusb >> log.txt && journalctl -b -0 >> log.txt && cat log.txt | eos-sendlog 

will give a short URL with you system specs and boot log all together you can post here.
If not possible try to give info about Graphics CPU e.t.c.

You need to install the LTS kernel, this will solve your problem.

Excuse me for the lack of information and how stupid I am. I have Acer Predator Triton 300 with those spec:

  • Intel Core i5-9300H (with Intel iGpu)
  • Nvidia GTX 1650m (with proprietary driver no legacy)
  • 16GB RAM
  • SSD 512GB

After I give it 1 hour afk somehow the screen is back without any graphical glitches, I thought the issue has gone so I am happy for a moment, so I copy pasted command lines you gave me but the terminal said eos-sendlog command not found.

I reboot, now stuck on these lines

Then I tried force shutdown after waiting for 10 mins. Turning on the machine again well… the result is back to zero again. I got the graphical glitches everywhere. Oh yeah forgot to mention the login screen looks the same. :slight_smile:

Welcome to the forum! :smile:

If you can boot with the USB installer, then you can arch-chroot into the installed system and make some changes.
See more in https://endeavouros.com/docs/system-rescue/rescue-non-booting-system-with-arch-chroot/

When you are successfully in the installed system with arch-chroot, you could try uninstalling package xf86-video-intel. Some (usually newer) systems don’t need that video driver, but others do.

If you are not familiar with pacman (the package manager), see here: https://endeavouros.com/docs/pacman/pacman-basic-commands/

If eos-sendlog is not installed, please install it with terminal command

  sudo pacman -S eos-bash-shared

But that should always be installed in EndeavourOS… unless you removed it … or there was a typo in the command.

on latest ISO it should be installed or not?

Yes, by default it is.

This looking very likely like a hybrid dual GPU system?
So could be it needs some setup on what to use per default.

Hello I’m back!
I’m sorry for the late respond but here I am.

After I look @joekamprad latest replies I checked that the hybrid graphics are not installed by default, so I open up terminal and installed optimus-manager and the display came back to normal, thank you for helping me :grinning: I love Endeavour OS everything comes out-of-the-box aside from the issue I have

Oh yeah about the eos log, I think it was my fault for mistype commands whoops. Here’s the log
