| xu-irc40w | Would that be appended to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT OR GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX? | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: Different this time - Bios screen, when the bios splash screen begins to clear - shift key to get grub's attention (legacy system that is ) .. then e key for edit mode and arrow down to tht linux line .. I prefer to replace quiet splash, myself - ctl+X to continue the boot. | 00:10 |
| Bashing-om | tht/the* | 00:11 |
| xu-irc40w | Ah okay, just made the edit assuming ctrl+x saves the edit before boot (didn't see an option to save the modification) | 00:21 |
| xu-irc40w | That booted me into TTY 1 and wouldn't let me switch to TTY 7 | 00:21 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: Well that isolates to a user land issue. But at this point be good to check the journal log for errors reported anywy, - to sart the GUI from ^ that terminal is anoter systeml command. | 00:36 |
| Bashing-om | another* | 00:36 |
| xu-irc40w | Would that be sudo systemctl isolate graphical? | 00:42 |
| xu-irc40w | That loads brings me back to the black screen with a blinking cursor | 00:43 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: No, to start the GUI from that TTY is systemctl set-default graphical , | 00:45 |
| xu-irc40w | Okay, that did that same thing. Back to a black screen with a blinking cursor | 00:48 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: At this point I do suggest checking for boot errors - only as a matter of course. reboot to Grub's TTY and run ; ' journalctl -b |grep failed ' <- to see if anything failed while booting up. | 00:51 |
| xu-irc40w | Okay, I can look | 00:53 |
| xu-irc40w | I really think it could be related to the graphics card/drivers still, that seems the be the only solution to this in the past. Is there a way to view and change the current graphics driver via terminal? | 00:57 |
| xu-irc40w | I just purged all the Nvidia packages, boithsd to recovery, repaired packages, updated grub (again with nomodeset) and rebooted, it loaded to TTY1 and the switched to TTY7 with a low resolution screen again 640x480 I think | 00:59 |
| xu-irc40w | *booted | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: Depends on what the card is / Intel and AMD have the drivers in the kernel as loadble modules. | 01:01 |
| xu-irc40w | Yeah, the drivers seemed to be the issues last year when this happened. My bad for updating again once it was fixed. At this point I have no clue what driver to try. It's an old GeForce 9400 GT. Thoughts on how to resolve the resolution issue from this stage? | 01:05 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: Lemme go see what driver is needed for that card. | 01:08 |
| oerheks | i think it was supported by the 340 driver, which is obsolete and one can use the nouveau driver instead | 01:09 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc40w: oerheks: Confirmed 340 driver - ouch. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us | 01:12 |
| mi61 | Hi | 10:24 |
| PeGaSuS | hey guys. I'm having a little fight with xfce4-terminal. I go to Edit > Preferences > Colors tab > Uncheck "Show bold text in bright colors" > Presets > Choose any preset > "Show bold text in bright colors" is automatically checked | 13:38 |
| PeGaSuS | how do I force it to stay unchecked even if I change preset? | 13:39 |
