If this is of any help i can: Boot into GRUB and select endeavourOS or the endeavourOS fallback and i can use the TTY as well. it starts daemons and stuff but then it gets to "Reached target graphical " before stopping doing things and nothing else happening
EDIT: i think i know the issue not how to fix it though before i turned off my PC i ran the yay command and pacman command to well update stuff and im guessing whats happened is two nvidia drivers are installed on my computer and i need to remove one
Ive got the logs with inxi and journalCTL What should i remove from them ive found some ips in them that i took out and what not (i think some mac addresses too) but surely its not good to just dump out all that info?
The logs should not log any personal infos like Mac addresses and serial numbers.
Most of the boot problems arise from 1) how users prepare USB stick, 2) formatting of hardrives and bootloader partition, 3) Nvidia graphics. The wiki was written by the eos developer and community, so I am not asking you to follow any obscure weird commands…
You can also open the eos welcome app and click eos log or similar, it will dump out a url you can post here with system infos.
What card is the Nvidia exactly? You could boot to a tty log in as root and run nvidia-installer-dkms -n and this will uninstall the nvidia drivers and after it completes reboot and see if it loads on the nouveau open source drivers. If nvidia-installer-dkms is not installed you would have to install it first.
Okay …
Not sure what desktop you installed but i see lightdm so i assume it’s xfce. I would try what i have above first of all to see if it will boot to the desktop on nouveua open source drivers. Then we could reinstall nvidia and go from there. The you could run the installer in test mode and see if there are any errors first before installing Nvidia drivers.
i do have XFCE that is correct and i checked if i have it installed or not i do it was up to date i tried
sudo nvidia-installed-dkms -n
it said to restart so i did grub worked fine and the debug menu for arch spit text good for a few seconds
then that thing happened you know where its like blue? like monitors use it to say the powers on but no signal is being recieved from a HDMI that happened BUT i did manage to turn my PC off by ctrl alt F2’ing then typing in my username and password and then poweroff so i know the terminal and stuff still works but its the graphics that dont exist so i cant see what im doing any ideas?
It should be AHCI not RAID as ive been using it for a few weeks i should also add that for a few seconds before i lose all graphics when i boot up i saw some error that was like /sda/dev/ clean: and some numbers i forgot to include it in the original post because im an idiot
if no solution is apparent i can probably view the files system on windows 10 and copy them over before reinstalling the entire distro
I am not trying to do this from a live ISO
I do have endeavour OS fully installed
i updated some core packages and had an issue where when i booted i would only get to “reached target graphical interface” and nothing else would happen
