I had earlier talked about how I get a black screen after logging in with Wayland in Bazzite 39. I can get to a TTY but not the desktop. I was hoping that when I upgraded to 40, there’d be a fix for my problem. But not only isn’t there one, it’s worse: there’s no X11 option to save me. This is an …

[image] chicagonyc: it’s worse: there’s no X11 option to save me. rpm-ostree install plasma-workspace-x11 Reboot and X11 should appear in the login now.

You’re a hero. Later I’d love to figure out why Wayland worked for weeks on my hardware, until it didn’t.

My joy is short-lived. Now even selecting X11 on the Login screen leads straight to a black screen, and no ability to even bring up a TTY with CTRL-ALT-Fx. I can however SSH into the machine from my desktop. Here is the rpm-ostree status. It’s on nightly? State: idle Deployments: ● ostree-image-si…

For now because you aren’t the only reporting this issue, I would rebase to Fedora 39 until it’s resolved. rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:39

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I’m getting a GPG error when rebasing. Pulling manifest: ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:39 Importing: ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:39 (digest: sha256:fe357496bb5ac67edd223e8cf27ed8d29384eb6948a082b98c265ec8a9d9…

A discord user helpfully gave the solution to the GPG problem. cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg sudo ln -s RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-2020 RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-39

Nope. Not working again. Here’s the symbolic link [image] And the error I get rebasing to 39 is: error: Updating rpm-md repo 'rpmfusion-free-updates-testing': Failed to download gpg key for repo 'rpmfusion-free-updates-testing': Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/r…

I had the same gpg error after trying to rebase to F39 after updating to F40 on Bazzite (Gnome Nvidia). I updated to F40 and it was kind of a mess. GPU performance was messed up whereas on F39 it wasn’t. Even playing Youtube videos without stuttering / artifacts was no longer possible. I was …

Thanks for the help. I’m a little bit worried about turning of GPG. Surely this can’t be the right answer?! Did rebasing back to 39 help?

No, its not an answer… clearly its a bug, its just a workaround until they figure out what’s going on. Yes, all of my problems went away by rebasing to F39. My windows drives immediately automounted just like before on the very first boot back into F39, my printers work again, and video playback …

How did you turn off the GPG?
