 Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2021 12:13 am Post subject: Blank screen on boot gnome SOLVED |
 |
|
Fresh installed Gentoo Systemd Gnome system.
On boot a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner.
I can via Ctrl/Alt/F2 logon as root.
systemctl stop gdm
systemctl start gdm
gdm starts up and I can logon with my normal user into gnome.
Already tried to disable gdm and reenable it. no luck.

from time to time gdm starts up normally.
Could it be a timing problem.
And a very healthy year.

Hi Banana,
Noting appears in xorg.log, when blank screen.
Bur when te system starts normally (once in 10 time) then of course the log exists, and looks very clean.
In the journalclt of the bad scenario I see following messages that do not appear in the good scenario.

etc...
Disabled wayland in /etc/gdm/custom.conf by uncommenting following line:
#WaylandEnable=false
Now system starts OK. |
