I’ve been using Bazzite on my HP Elitebook 845 G9 for the past couple of weeks just fine. But just recently, I got a blank/black screen after rebooting and entering my password on the login screen. What I’ve tried: Opening a terminal with CTRL-Alt-F2. This works, and brings up a login prompt. Upd…

[image] chicagonyc: HP Elitebook 845 G9 Do you use Steam Gaming Mode?

No, I just use it in normal desktop mode.

Using the same method as before to enter commands (the TTY), rebase to an earlier build for a while, maybe wait until Fedora 40 builds are out this month before going back. I am not sure what’s going on but if this earlier build actually works for you, I would consider making an issue about it in Gi…

Thank you for the reply. I’m running KDE and ran your first command, then rebooted. Unfortunately, I get the same symptoms: blank screen after successfully entering my password on the login screen. CTRL-ALT-F2 works to bring up a terminal, then I do see the 2024-0322 image is loaded. But still, a b…

One update – switching to X11 allows me to go to the desktop on the 0322 image. But … I think I want to be running Wayland, right?

It’s better and newer than X11. However, whatever works. What GPU do you have?

This is a Ryzen 6800U based laptop, so there’s a AMD 680M IGPU. The odd thing is that Wayland worked fine up until a few days ago when the black/blank screen appeared!

Yeah this is bizarre especially since AMD and Intel GPUs usually work well with Wayland. My desktop and laptop running Bazzite do not have this issue also both are using AMD GPUs. Incredibly bizarre that even rebasing to an older image did this. Have you messed with /etc lately or layered any pack…

I added some NFS mounts to /etc/fstab, but that’s it. Through ujust, I had coolercontrol and liquidctl layered. By myself, I only layered google-chrome-stable, the reasoning for which I described here . But, Wayland worked fine after I did the latter, up until a few days ago.

Same issue. Minisforum UM690. If I CTRL+ALT+F2 and shutdown I can sometimes get the SteamdeckUI/Gamescope-session to load. Helps if I unplug all the usb devices.

Interesting … also a Ryzen chipset with an iGPU.

Did X11 fix the problem?
