Hi everyone! Sorry about this, while thus far I’ve been able to solve issues like this myself with this one I’m really at a loss.
When I opened my machine yesterday morning the gui couldn’t boot properly, and concerningly when I tried to login via tty to investigate the problem I got the error in the attached image (sorry about low quality, it only appeared for a split second before the tty reset so I had to take a video and screenshot it).
It’s a Dell laptop with both an Nvidia GPU and Intel GPU. I was trying to fix a display issue the other day and in the process changed around some Nvidia settings. This error didn’t occur then but obviously I think they’re related.
Is there a way to access Endeavour’s command line without logging in, or otherwise to not try and execute X when opening tty? Thanks!
some mor einfo would may help… what exactly you do to setup dualgraphics per example…
but indeed welcome here on the purple side and i am sur ewe can solve this!
Thanks for the swift reply! It’s not i3, I installed dwm on top of the xfce iso. I was hoping to include some kind of error log but I can’t access any kind of command line. (and I am enjoying the purple side I’ve been loving using this system, eager to get it fixed!)
so you will be able to login and run commands… you may go to reset drivers to nouveau by using: nvidia-inst -n reboot got Xserver working and reconfigure graphics setup.
Awesome! Would this still be possible if i’m not using grub? This is one of my first linux installs and from what I can tell when I installed I chose systemd-boot instead.
UPDATE for those having a similar issue to the one I initially described:
It turns out my xorg config files were all wonky somehow. I reinstalled the nvidia package, removed my conf files under /etc/X11/ (not including those in subdirectories) and rebooted. Working fine now.
