I’ve recently been unable to use my computer running Fedora 42 with gnome. It boots up, and GDM starts running, however it shows a flat grey screen with no login option. I can pull up a tty and login as normal (although using gnome-session to start a GUI session from there doesn’t work). I have tried to use systemctl to restart GDM from the tty, but that l brings me back to square one.
What can I do from here to resolve this issue?
GPU: Radeon 7800xt, Open Source Drivers Window System: Wayland.
if you’re savvy enough to know about gdm, you’re savvy enough to know to include at least some details, like what graphics you’re running, X11/Wayland, etc.
Edited to include now
UPDATE: Resolved, it was an issue caused by a faulty display port cable. Different issues from this cable had happened recently, I just initially assumed it was a software issue due to the fact that only GDM was affected.
Can you mark title as resolved?
honestly on single user machines I uninstall a display manager. autologin on console, and put a few lines in my zshrc to start my wm automatically
