Black screen after installing #176

Closed forReason closed 2 months ago

forReason commented 3 months ago

I installed liquorix using this code from the webpage on an external ssd:
curl -s 'https://liquorix.net/install-liquorix.sh' | sudo bash

Everything worked. So I tried to install it in on my main system. Instead of 6.9-3 it installed 6.9-4 and when booting, I get a black screen with a white, still cursor.

Best regards, Julian

Can you provide the output of inxi -b from the system that doesn't work?

To provide a little more context on how I got to the described error: I have a Lenovo Legion Slim 7 laptop, which works in general but I have some GPU driver issues.

  1. Someone recommended the liquorix kernel to me. I attached an external harddrive to the bespoken laptop and installed ubuntu 24.04 freshly, in order to test without affecting my system
  2. I installed the liquorix kernel to that harddrive. It installed version 6.9.3 and every thing was working
  3. I decided to test with my main system and installed liquorix with the same command from the website. However, it installed version 6.9.4

I would not get to the login screen. The final screen was a blank black screen with a fix white underscore cursor which was not blinking. I started in recovery mode and made sure the nvidia gpu is properly recognized in nvidia smi. From there on, i tried a couple more things, unfortunately without success:

finally, I switched back to my original mainline kernel 6.9.3, which is generally working, but as said some software such as games or davinci have certain performance issue with the nvidia card. The amd igpu is unusable due to white strobe screen effects (which are also present on liquorix kernel, i think the amd official amd drivers are not up to date for 24.04 on amd side)

I have gotten further with the installation. I reinstalled ubuntu and started from a clean installation. I was able to install 6.9.4.x

unfortunately, I have stability issues in gpu intense applications (games, video, rendering) also I seem to get a kernel panic when shutting down / rebooting.

as of right now, installing 6.9.5.1 Will follow up if its better.

I upgraded to the next version. Its not completely stable but i think its acceptable.
