Booting to tty after update

After the latest aurora-dx-nvidia-open:stable my machine boots to tty instead of gui. I am unsure what happened. I cannot access anything graphically anymore, and had to rollback to the previous image. I am on a custom image where I layer klassy and the bazzite theme but to my knowledge this should not create any problems. Does anyone have any suggestions in finding a solution / debugging the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

try rebasing to aurora-dx-nvidiaopen:stable not your custom image to see if it is your layers or the nvidia drivers

Do you have a custom image or did you just layer the packages you mentioned on top? It’s hard to say what’s breaking, if it’s from our side or the packages you mentioned. Please try the vanilla Aurora Image without those packages as well, as @stevensko mentioned.

Custom image. Went through stuff one by one and realized that for some reason uninstalling noto fonts was nuking the entirety of kde plasma for some reason.

I think KDE uses these fonts heavily in their own UI so it makes some sense why it’s problematic to remove these.

It’s generally a good idea to first build your image locally if you make any changes at all, to see what stuff gets removed and added. If you don’t want to do that then rpm-ostree db diff will be useful to you.

That’s fair, something to keep in mind for next time. I had a custom bluefin image with the same font removal change that was working perfectly so it wasn’t something I expected.

I was running into the same problem when I tried to debloat bluefin. –noautoremove wouldn’t work either. I found it was better to leave most packages in. If I was replacing a package, swap was good to keep the dependencies from being immediately removed. if not, I reinstalled the auto removed packages.
