So I installed some Game with Heroic Launcher today, first game I installed on Linux. And some time after that I was unable to open up my terminal app so I rebooted the system.
Since then I have been unable to login into the Desktop Environment I have 3 kernel versions on my System and all of them result in this Blank screen.
I think this is not relevant tbh I have a backup kernel with the old Fedora 38 installation in the grub list which is the what i installed fedora for the first time. When logging into the Fedora 38 kernel I get some Error more messages about failing to mount boot-efi.mount and more( that’s the 3rd image).
Thanks in advance for any helps.
So I figures out how to get Logs from the Last Boot Session and most of the error messages are in relation to a missing file called libexpat.so.1
Here are the Logs again
Since it is saying that it failed to mount /boot/efi, I would suggest running a filesystem check on your ESP. Unfortunately, since your root account is locked, I think you will have to create a rescue boot disk of some sort. The Fedora Linux live installer should work (i.e. the normal installation image that you can download from fedoraproject.org).
I have the same problem.
during boot from the f41-live USB I see the line:
…
nouveau 0000:01:00: DRM: failed to create ce channel, -22
…
in light blue
Then once the installed system is coming up, I receive the message in the centre of a blank screen:
NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau
Then we reach the blank screen with the mouse arrow active but nothing else.
Then, using Ctrl+Alt+F3 i can log in and use the tty terminal command line.
I have tried various ways using rpmfusion to install NVidia drivers but it seems there is nothing compatible for my graphics card (GeForce 210).
Is this correct? Is it thus NOT possible to install F41 on my machine (old i5 with 4 cores and 16GB RAM)?
I don’t know exactly which nvidia cards do or do not work with the nouveau driver, but all those video cards should “work” in a fallback VESA mode which ought to be enough for basic use (web browsing, word processing, etc.). Can you not install/use Fedora Linux in “Basic Graphics Mode” (i.e. with nomodeset supplied on the kernel command line at boot)?
Thank you for your message. I’ve managed to re-install F40 and now have some catching up to do before the holidays. In I’ll return to the chase in the New Year. Best wishes for the Festive season.
