When I start Blufin at boot process screen becomes black and on top left of screen “-” like cursor appears. I have waited for 15 minutes and it looks system hangs.
This issue started to appear previous week with Jan-26 image. I reverted back image at boot loader to previous image from Jan-19 and Blufin started up successfully.
Today still on Jan-19 image I did “ujust update” and Jan-29 downloaded without an issue after reboot I still get black screen with white “-” cursor at top left.
I rebooted and from boot loader selected Jan-19 and it boots up successfully.
It looks some issue at my system. Does someone else have the same issue?
Since Jan-19 works fine, it could be a kernel or graphics driver problem. Check journalctl -b -1 for errors. You can try nomodeset at boot or roll back with rpm-ostree cleanup -r alternativally you can also sudo rpm-ostree rollback to stay on the January 19th image until the issue is resolved.
I dont’see a “Download all” button - I would also advise to file a bug report - accessible through the above github link, this so the developers can also support you.
@CyberOto, I have booted up Blufin with Jan-19 image and it boots fine. Updated Blufin to Feb-2 image. Powered off machine and changed to VBoxSVGA in VirtualBox virtual machine. Now it is little bit better Blufin boots to login screen. I have only one user on this Linux. I usually press Enter end then type in password and Enter to login. Now keyboard does not respont to any action also with mouse I can’t click on login user. It looks like Blufin is now frozzen at this stage.
I have reverted to Jan-19 image and Blufin boots up without an issue.
I will probably try:
few times over weeks to update Blufin image if issue is fixed
update VirtualBox when new update is available (probably in time frame of 3 months)
just move back to my old friend “Ubuntu 24.04 desktop” another virtual machine I have and works just fine
I am wondering if this issue is also present on GTS version?
Change Video Memory to the max of GUI it allows (in my case 128 MB)
Details:
Booted up Blufin Jan-19 image and “ujust update”.
After reboot freezes.
I saw I have terrible low “Video Memory” set only to 16 MB. I set it to 128 MB (max that can be set using GUI).
Rebooted and the same issue with VirtualBox VMSVGA Graphic Controller in Display settings.
Changed VirtualBox VMSVGA to VBoxSVGA and rebooted and it booted up just fine and I can login.
I don’t know why this virtual machine have had only 16 MB, probably default when machine is created and I always (maybe I forgot for this one) to increase it to the maximum setting.
Still something is not the way it used to be on Jan-19, because recommended setting for Linux is VMSVGA and VBoxSVGA is recommended for Windows. It even warns for “Invalid settings detected” warning in GUI itself when changing to VBoxSVGA.
I have been playing around in Blufin and now it looks like working fine.
