I just installed Aurora on a low spec PC (Lenovo s130).
When it boots the cursor is displayed for a couple of seconds but then the “terminal” is displayed and it just hangs there, see pic.
If I go to tty5 I can login normally in terminal, so the installation itself seems correct.
Any ideas how to fix or troubleshoot?

I forgot to mention that during the installation I selected that no password is needed for usning the account (and there is no root user).

I tried plasmashell & in tty5 and get this error:
Don’t know if it’s related.

I scanned the issue tracker, and it seems the bug I came across was this one:

bug
### Describe the bug
The system updated from 41.20241112.1 to 41.20241117.3 an… d on the next boot it showed the arrow cursor for a little while and then a blank screen. It didn't even show the login screen. I changed to a terminal with _Ctrl-Alt-F2_ and could login with no issues. Tried _sudo systemctl restart sddm_, and got the blank screen again.
Rebooted the machine and selected the second entry in the grub menu, and the system booted normally to the graphical session. Then I issued _rpm-ostree rollback_, reboted, and issued _systemctl start rpm-ostreed-automatic.service_ to make the system update again, hoping there might be a new (different) update, but instead updated to 41.20241117.3 again, and again got the blank screen.
I finally did the rollback again and am posting from the system running 41.20241112.1
### What did you expect to happen?
I expected the system to boot normally running 41.20241117.3

### Extra information or context
For the average user Aurora is intended to, this would have been a show-stopper. Not good.
So N > 1
