Hello friends. I recently got my GAOMON PD1560 out of storage and decided to install the driver. There is a native Linux install, so I followed the instructions from the official GAOMON site, running the install script. It then asked if I wanted to restart, and I did. My system now opens grub (previously it skipped straight to my Fedora 41 Workstation), and attempting to open Fedora shows the initial starting up screen, then black. I did wait around 10 minutes to see if it would do anything, it did not. I have restarted a few times, and it only stays on the black screen. I am not sure how to get my computer to fully start. Please help.
Can you select a different Kernel on boot?
Perhaps post the instructions you followed, and link to any scripts you ran.
No, I cannot load any other boots. I did attempt booting into text-only mode and got this error:
I followed a PDF that came with the driver download, but there is a copy of it I found here
https://www.huion.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=manual&id=699
I opened the console in the respective folder, and ran sudo sh install.sh, then restarted the computer.
On that page I see
1.Instructions for installing the driver package file in tar.xz format.
Linux operating systems supported:
Ubuntu
And also a .deb file. Which is for Debian Linux.
I look like you have run a script for another Linux distrobution. (and is 31 MB! I wonder what it does!) You should also be very wary of installing apps with ‘sudo’ permissions.
Many graphics tablets are supported in the Linux Kernel, so you may not have needed to install anything at all.
On that black screen, can you select a login terminal with ctrl+alt+f2 ?
The new Fedora 42 Beta includes a recovery setup in it’s installer, which might be an easy way to rebuild your boot system.
I was able to log in with ctrl+alt+f2 (I have only been using Linux for a few months so this option was new to me, thank you)
I’m honestly unsure of what to do now.
(I went ahead and uninstalled using the given uninstall script, still loading to the black screen)
Can you get into your desktop with ?
startx
We will have to rebuild your boot or login screen, which I would have to look up or someone else will know it off the top of their head.
This is what shows up when running startx
If you have any recommendations for something I could look up for instructions I’d be more than willing.
Look up how to start Gnome under Wayland to get into your desktop.
It might be
gnome-shell --wayland
First try
sudo dnf distro-sync
and
sudo dnf update
to try to clean up and packages (eg libglib) that the installer broke.
I was able to get into my desktop! Thank you!
(however I am unable to open my settings and my drawing tablet no longer works as intended, but if it works it works.)

Lets get everything back to normal first and then after that, start a new thread to ask about installing the tablet.
Did you try the distro-sync and update from a command line terminal within Gnome?
I did, yes. I ran both the distro sync and the update.
Did it update or replace anything?
Next step if that does not work on a reboot is to rebuild your boot files.
It updated around 280 files. When rebooting it will stay on the startup screen but is able to start running gnome-shell —wayland but not startx.
(Startx shows a very similar error to before, just only one file)
Don’t worry about startx, that is for x windows system which is old, and you are now on Wayland.
You can look up how to repair your boot, or wait a day for other people who know more than me about boot systems to contribute.

Thank you so much for the help!
It probably means that you need to re-enable gdm service?
sudo systemctl start gdm.service
Unfortunately I still am being met with an endless black screen 
Do you still get the same error about gdm?
Yes, I am getting the same error
You need to manually remove the config file added by install.sh: sudo rm /etc/gdm/custom.conf.
It seems that the install.sh script disables the Wayland session in GDM, but Fedora no longer has X11 session installed by default.
