Hi I was trying to install Garuda on my AMD

[filo]

Install the linux-lts kernel with
sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
And try it.
It should be working hopefully
With that kernel you'll not need the above boot parameter

[buinhphuc1707]

So when I load into Grub - Advanced options for Garuda - I chose Linux-lts and it showed a black screen. Maybe I would choose zen this time since it's working fine with Zen.

[filo]

If the zen works, go for it!
I understood that it was only getting to a tty console. Now I read better that you can launch the se desktop from there.
I assume this is normal with that parameter.
If so, I guess you'll have to "resist" until the kernel 5.14

I used the console up there to boot into the desktop screen.

How did you boot in the desktop?

@buinhphuc1707

Had the kernel parameters as “nomodeset amdgpu.dc=0”

I think this should be only amdgpu.dc=0 without nomodeset.
I don’t know if this is really important, but for sure it’s worth trying.

I have tried that before, it stops at “starting version….”
I have also tried every possible configuration.
Nomodeset works because it manually disables gpu drivers and stop at Plymouth which I believe needs those drivers to work

No you have not, so stop saying this, please. It is an insult to people who try to help you. And calm down, please. If you do random things, without us knowing the exact status of your system each time, we are going in circles in vain.

You seem to understand but you still want a graphical session.
You say it yourself. nomodeset disables your video driver, so no graphical is possible, no plymouth, no SDDM, no KDE.

Remove nomodeset in /etc/default/grub and update-grub.

Then, try to troubleshoot your real problem.
It could be you have disrupted package update and your kernel(s) and modules are broken.
Create a proper (to your location) mirrorlist and update packages in terminal/TTY.
If there is an error in the process, post the output so we can understand the problem.

@buinhphuc1707

I am still a new and noob guy in Linux.

So, follow advice.

Don’t worry, I’m calm, I’m just trying to explain as good as I can.
You right I tried every combination that grub presence me which is nouveau Radeon i915 and few more I found online.
I can’t really edit any files, as it is my first installation and it doesn’t want to enter live version.

@buinhphuc1707

what should I do to make Garuda load automatically instead of my keeping typing in the code?

@petsam

Remove nomodeset in /etc/default/grub and update-grub.

1. Have you done this?
2. Do you see a GRUB entry “Garuda Linux snapshots” when you boot?
