Ever since the latest update, whenever I boot my computer, after the splash screen, the screen goes black. My only solution so far is to enter tty2 (ctrl+alt+f2) and reboot from there. Then I choose the second snapshot from the bootloader. I tried resetting my layers, even though I haven’t made any…

Fix for my issue here: SDDM not starting if usb mouse connected - #5 by ddawdler

Ah, good to know it’s already in the works. Thank you for letting me know!

Thank god I’ve found this thread. I’ve been trying to update Bazzite for hours, I thought I was doing something wrong. Just curious how do you know this is being worked on? Where is this info shared? I’d like to keep an eye on it to know if it’s safe to update. In the meantime I’m trying to preven…

We saw this issue when testing Aurora F43 betas and made a bug report for Fedora 2404966 – sddm fails to start with rhgb kernel argument But I think Kyle made a temp fix for it in Bazzite (propably not in stable yet)

Hey, thanks! That’s way easier than what I was doing. I don’t know why didn’t I think of that.

So I have to ask how long does everyone wait on that black screen? I wait under a minute, and then the next screen comes up. There is an option in terminal with ujust to configure grub visibility: ujust configure-grub ACTION=“ ” ….have not really messed with that. I thought an update in the last m…

Oh, no, it’s not a matter of waiting. I get stuck on the black acreen and nothing happens no matter how long I wait. That’s why I resort to workarounds or rebasing to an older image.

Black screen since latest update
