Black screen after automatic reboot following updates

Ask Fedora
, , ,
1

Hello, I’m running the latest version of Fedora 44 KDE on a laptop with a dual-GPU setup. The iGPU is AMD, and the dedicated GPU is an NVIDIA RTX 3050 4 GB. The NVIDIA propriatary drivers are also up to date (version 610.57.04) and all of the laptop’s displays are routed through the AMD iGPU.

My system has LUKS encryption enabled with automatic ftpm unlock and secure boot enabled.

The problem started after I enabled automatic LUKS unlocking through fTPM and installed/configured the NVIDIA drivers with Secure Boot. I have Fedora configured to install updates and restart automatically.

Problem

Since setting this up, every time I install updates and the system automatically restarts, I eventually get a black screen.

After the update reaches the screen showing that it is installing and displaying the progress, the screen eventually goes completely black. I have waited more than an hour on several occasions to see whether the graphical interface would return, but it never does.

When the screen is black I tried to bring the TTY through the shortcut Crtl + Alt + F1, F2, F3 and F4 to no avail, so i couldn’t access the console; and the safe reboot through alt + print + REISUB also didn’t, forcing me to hold the power button to restart the laptop.

After doing a forced reboot, the system normally boots successfully and it appears that the update was installed correctly, checking the kernels installed and the one currently in use seems to indicate that.

During the most recent update, I experienced an additional problem.

After the first black screen, I forced a reboot. The system then reached another black screen. On this occasion, I was able to access a console, checked nvidia-smi but it loaded for multiple minutes and didnt gave any output then attempted to reboot from there, but the reboot became stuck on the Fedora boot/loading screen.

I had to force another reboot using the power button. After that second forced reboot, the system finally booted normally and I was able to reach the KDE Plasma login screen.

What I suspect

I’m wondering if this could be related to the NVIDIA drivers, Secure Boot, or the NVIDIA kernel module not loading correctly after a kernel/system update.

However, I’m not sure whether NVIDIA is actually the cause. There may also be an interaction between the NVIDIA driver, AMD hybrid graphics, Secure Boot, the kernel, or the fTPM-based LUKS unlocking. But after the forced reboot the nvidia driver works so I’m not sure.

I would prefer to keep Secure Boot enabled for security reasons, so I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t require disabling it if possible.

Logs

I ran the command " journalctl -b -1 -k --no-pager | grep -Ei ‘nvidea|nouvau|drm|gpu|plasmalogin|firmaware|fail’ " to check the kernel logs from the previous boot:

I’m not sure if these errors are relevant to the problem, but I think they could be useful. In any case, thanks for any help!

You failed to say how you performed the update.

It seems quite common with an nvidia GPU and using the nvidia drivers, that when updates are performed using the software tool (in your case Discover) that the reboot following the update often fails to allow adequate time for the system to build the new nvidia driver module for the newly installed kernel and this results in the black screen.

Personally I never use the software update tool and always perform updates from the command line sudo dnf update --refresh every time.

I never have encountered the black screen because I always wait about 5 minutes after the update completes before rebooting.

Hi, thanks a lot for your help, and sorry for leaving out that information, i did all the updates through the Discover.

There was an update today, so I was able to test your sugestion, and it worked without any problems. I’ll wait until the next update on Tuesday to make sure everything continues to work before marking this as the solution. And once again, thank you for your help.

Also, wouldn’t updating through Discover, selecting “restart later” and then manually restarting the system after some time have the same effect?

That should manage the timing for you.

Most users do not want to wait to restart and this seems to be the cause of the timing issue.

When doing the updates using dnf it only updates the packages. If you have flatpaks installed you also need to use flatpak update to make certain that the flatpak is updated (I think discover does updates of flatpaks as well as the package updates)
