I am on Asus ROG Strix G513IC Gaming Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 4800H and RTX 3050.
I downloaded Garuda's gaming ISO, used rufus to write it to a flash drive (which gave a notification saying something about the ISO and not giving me the option to change pretty much anything) and then booted from it. Fast boot is disable if you wonder. It opened up perfectly and I was ready to install it. First, I had a partition occupied by windows 10, my old OS that I decided to overwrite. I installed Garuda, then restarted the pc. chose Garuda from the screen that came, and boom! black screen. Then I safe-booted and console appeared. I logged in from console no problem. Then I decided to ditch the idea and go for Tiny11, the bloatwareless Win11. But It couldn't connect to Wi-Fi. I even downloaded network drivers from my phone and installed them but no help. Then I realized if Tiny11 was GG, I had only Garuda in hand which didn't open. I decided to backup important stuff from my D partition and fully clear the disc for Garuda. Maybe second disc was the problem? No. Still black screen. Now I also lost my backup ISO files that I forgot to backup. I am using Garuda from the flash drive now. I installed Tiny11 with ethernet in hope but still no wifi. I can only access the internet from Garuda flash drive. Now I am trying to download Win10 ISO and rufus to rollback as much as possible. I was really exited to use a linux designed for gaming, how cool that would be!. I need a fix for that blackout (I want to point out I deleted entire disc before tiny11 last time so no report for now, tho I can reinstall it after I install win10) not ASAP. Thanks for even reading.
Oh, I also saw a Ubuntu option when I was choosing the flash drive from Tiny11's recovery restart (by the way, flash had 2 forking partitions, both opened Garuda) from I literally installed a year in past, which also caused some problems and I just ditched it out. Maybe 2 partitions of flash is the problem? It's size is as it should be, 14,x GB, its 16GB labeled tho.
hello @mami I see that you are a new user. can you while booted into the garuda installed on your ssd (the one that blackscreens) change to tty2? You can do that by pressing
ctrl+alt+F2
This should work even for crashed systems like yours. If it doesnât then you are in a more serious predicament because that would severly limit the ability to debug your issue.
If you can see the tty2 it would prompt you to enter your username and then password (which wonât be visible while typing) and then give you a shell to execute commands. Try to follow the guide attached here if you can do all that.
Some things you might wanna know. You can connect to your wifi via using the command
nmtui
which you might wanna do to follow along with the article below and also from that terminal run this command
garuda-inxi | nc termbin.com 9999
it will output a link please post that here it will give us a little more insight about what might be happeing in your system
Sadly I'm on black screen now and ctrl + alt + F2 doesn't work. But on boot I can chose between linux zen and recovery mode. Does that help at all?
Edit: I did that, followed the article you provided but first two options just gave errors. First one gave a single error, while other just gave so many errors that started with yellow-red color and turned into white. I also got stuck when typed "startx" with last line being "Using system config directory /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d". The dkms method outputed it couldn't find sudo dkms command. The command exit also hot stuck at "Starting default.target" so I literally held down my power button to close it, just as I had to do on black screen that happens on normal boot.
Yes, I also tried it but forgor to mention it. I remember it saying network thing unavailable. Currently I am recreating a USB drive as I am suspicious of corrupted iso file as I encountered some problems preparing it. I will retry all steps with the new flash and inform you ASAP. I have a question. Does installing Garuda on a already empty partition has any difference from deleting the entire disc? I would really love to keep windows10 as a backup os if anything goes wrong again. Thank you.
Dual boot is easily possible, but Garuda does not support it.
On boot problems, you are on your own. There are fixes if M$ destroy the bootloader, but you can read all about this if you use the forum search.
Just for now. İt eas painful to download and prepare win10 iso from garyda launched from usb. I tske your answer as it wont effect my problem, positive or negative. Only performance issues that I will eliminate later.
Whelp. Fresh install, still no hope. No tty2, no nmtui (Network manager çalıĆmıyor it says. ĂalıĆmıyor means is not working). Is there a way that I just boot into tty2? That would be editing boot arguements, opening the pc in a different USB with tools to use for debugging etc. I probably will end up staying on windows for now and send the laptop to it's manufacturer ASAP asking if they can just do it for me. That seems most logical to me.
To boot to tty, when you are in the grub line that you want to use, press button E, go to the end of the line starting with linux and add a 3 at the end (with a space beforeâŠ), then CTRL+x
Thanks to filo and one of his older replies saying to delete the splash after two quiet's I am now officially in tty1(?) and connected to internet. I got the link: "https://termbin.com/fb5x" tho after I got that it got stuck. I run mirror list update tho I got many warnings "failed to sync resync" kinda errors. Then I got some downloads! But in the end I got two warnings and 2 errors.
W's:"reflector-simple: local (2.0-1.1) is newer than garuda (2.0-1)",
"removing 'python-xdg' from target list because it conflicts with 'python-pyxdg'".
E's: "unresolvable package conflicts detected",
"failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)"
On last line: "::mangohud and manhohud-common are in conflict"
After these I run normally and got greeted by a old friend: The black screen.
@mami

Thanks for the advice! I run it again but new link gave the same output. İt's in a standstill now. I can type and press enter to create new line but nothing happens. Normally you have like
[mami@mamisshitbox ~]$
But I don't have it. Just blank after the link. I guess I'll give it some time. By the way, can you provide me with discord if you have? I can't post images here and I would like to send you the output of
I was booting from my usb to chroot then I saw chroot option in Garuda welcome! Does this do the trick and if so, how many steps is it gonna skip for me?

Thanks! 736 new downloads happening now. I'll edit this message if it solves the problem.
EDIT: After the download I restarted and booted normally to see black screen, still the same. Then I decided to update again and do the reflector thing.
