I have Windows 11 and Fedora GNOME dual booted on my Lenovo Ideapad slim 3 laptop. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 5000 with an iGPU. I have been having problems with suspending. I finally got suspend to work using i8042.debug=1 and i8042.nopnp=1 in the GRUB config file. The keyboard finally worked because I previously had problems with it working but now it freezes when trying to login. It gets stuck at the spinning circle after typing my password in and hitting enter. Can anyone help with this?
Can you switch to a TTY using Ctrl-Alt-F3 when this happens?
If so you can log in to the terminal before entering your password on the graphical screen and look at the journal in real time with journalctl -f as you try the login. You should get some output of what’s happening in the background whilst your spinner is spinning and
going nowhere.
BTW, you should be able to flick to and fro by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get back to the graphical login.
One hell of a hostname you have there! Probably want to change that to something shorter just so you can read error messages!
OK - I would reboot & when the greeter appears, switch to this TTY, run journalctl --no-hostname --no-pager -f again to get it dumping the output to the TTY, then switch back to graphical, enter your password, hit enter and then switch back to this screen to see what we get emitted from the time you actually start the login.
When I do this and go back to the graphical screen to login in I get stuck at this screen after hitting enter. The log showed services stopping that is all that I could tell
Cycle through the Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys, one of them (usually F2) is hosting the graphical screen (at least it is on KDE, afraid I don’t use Gnome)
Ah… maybe I misinterpreted what you’re saying… so you fire it up, get to the greeter, switch to a TTY and fire up the journal display, drop back to the graphics screen, enter password and hit enter and then when you switch back to F3 or wherever your logging is being displayed, it’s gone and you get that output?
