LTS Kernel turns off monitor during boot

A Slightly odd issue, out of the blue at some point last week my LTS kernel start to fail to get to the desktop, it seems to go through the normal boot process right up to the point where the DE should load (xfce) but then the monitor just turns off.

The odd thing is the system loads normally with the current kernel.

I pulled this out of the logs with:

journalctl --boot=-1 -n 40

I’m no linux expert but it seems like the GPU driver is having trouble talking to the monitor, perhaps some incompatible settings?

I’ve never had an issue where one kernel works and another doesn’t before, so I don’t really know how to proceed. Do I need to force the LTS kernel to reinstall somehow, or are the config files somewhere that relate to just one of the kernels?

Baffled. any help welcome.

So it needs the newer kernel. LTS still 6.1

Interesting, thank you. I guess i’ll just wait for the new LTS kernel.

Games seem more stable on the newer kernel anyway, so not a bad thing.
