Just updated minutes ago, rebooted and my laptop freezez @ login screen without showing me the mouse pointer. can’t do anything. tried loading the previous kernel version, same thing…
what can I do?
Pressing <Esc> while booting or removing the RHGB quiet from the kernel command line using the grub2 editor may allow you to see error messages. You can try adding <space>3 to the end of the kernel command. If that fails, you need to look at the journal entries. If you have a Live USB installer, you can mount the system disk and run ‘journalctl —directory /var/log/journal//` after mounting the root storage.
worked, thanks!
Glad to see you got your system going. In my opinion, hiding boot messages with RHGB quiet makes sense for cubicle farms where users just take boot issues to the IT group. Over decades using Linux, typos or device failures have resulted in many boot failures, so it is nice see details right away when something breaks,
