Bug ID: 495611 Summary: Blank screen with cursor dash freeze after Neon Update. I have booted with Ctrl+Alt+F3 (probably graphics issue?) MAY NOT BE A BUG Classification: I don't know Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: Neon OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: kde.kindling...@passmail.net Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY After KDE Neon / Plasma update where you changed the wallpaper from tree to the bow / ribbon, and also after updating the Ubuntu LTS version as you advised, I have had recurring intermittent trouble getting my OLD hardware to properly boot. I think (but am not fully confident at this point) that I can bypass the problem / frozen screen by using control+alt (option on my Mac keyboard) + F3. I think this is a Ubuntu command to bypass a graphics driver. Lots of people have reported blank screen with dash related to update after KDE Neon. I can keep doing this F3 boot process after updates if needed, but I'd prefer a more permanent fix so the boot up process works properly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Accept updates and specify restart when such updates are offered in Discover. 2. System reboots, shows KDE circle and counts percent complete on updates, then restarts again. 3. On this second restart, I get a black screen -- sometimes with a small dash in the left third of the screen slightly above half way up. Other times, I get a black screen with no visible cursor. There is enough backlight available for me to know the system is on but monitor not working properly... OBSERVED RESULT above EXPECTED RESULT Normal boot to login screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.2 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-48-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland [NOTE: Should I change this?? If yes, I need to know how] Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD BARTS [Additional info: This is Mid2011 27" iMac. Graphics is GForce GTX6970M 1MB) Manufacturer: Apple Inc. Product Name: iMac12,2 System Version: 1.0 ADDITIONAL INFO: I think graphics card may no longer be supported per some online research. I have had ZERO troubles prior to this recent KDE + Ubuntu update. Problem may be with Ubuntu LTS and not with KDE??? Would love to know if there is a way I can use Terminal to specify a boot process to avoid this trouble. I am not 100% sure that the CTRL+ALT+F3 boot keys always work but this seems to get me out of blank screen jail... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
