GRUB is working fine. The problem is with your video card. Is this NVIDIA?

Lavender_ · 2023-12-26 11:14:14

yes, on PC - GTX 1050Ti, on Laptop - MX330

but problem still exists and linux was booting up properly on laptop

I don't do NVIDIA, sorry. Edit the thread title to attract the attention of people who do.

Lavender_ · 2023-12-26 11:32:42

I will try installing nvidia MX330 driver later
But idk how will it work with 1050Ti and MX330 driver

There's photo of Journalctl
https://media.discordapp.net/attachment … 8240649f2&
maybe that will help

Remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and retry.

Other than that if that didn't help, post the entirety of your

sudo journalctl -b

as text: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

Lavender_ · 2023-12-26 22:05:58

I tried, and it still cant boot in GUI
Also i tried to get the text from journalctl using nc
"journalctl -u -d | nc termbin.com 9999" but everything i see on the page is --no entries--

Maybe i should try resetting X11 like reinstalling it?

"resetting X11 like reinstalling it" isn't a thing, if you re-install xorg packages, nothing will change unless they're presently corrupted (ie. files on your drive got damaged or you deleted them)

"journalctl -u -d … is --no entries--

sudo journalctl -b

What exactly do you think "-u -d" does?
Don't get creative here, post the system journal of the boot.

Lavender_ · 2023-12-26 23:11:41

Then how i can post journal as text if i dont have access to gui?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2023-12-26 23:22:35

If only somebody had a link in their signature explaining How to upload text. That would be really useful, don't you think?

V1del · 2023-12-26 23:24:03

I gave you a link with commands to use that will post outputs from the terminal to a pastebin, you only need an internet connection.

Lavender_ · 2023-12-26 23:43:51

Oh, my skill issue, ok i have a link with it here https://0x0.st/HE-N.txt

Gui still cant start

seth · 2023-12-27 08:54:28

Can't start after what?
The rules are still missing, the commands in #14 are to show *how* broken your system actually is.
Post the outptus.

Lavender_ · 2023-12-27 09:17:26

First command: https://0x0.st/HEoL.txt
Second: https://0x0.st/HEof.txt

seth · 2023-12-27 09:22:39

libx11 and xkeyboard-config are certainly massively corrupted, so re-install them.

Lavender_ · 2023-12-27 09:37:14

Oooohhh, thank you so much, it works now<3

Lavender_ · 2023-12-27 12:14:18

Follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation and make sure to enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting
If things still don't work
1. open a new thread (one topic per thread)
2. post system journal and xorg log there

As for this thread, please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
