Do not know if this is a GNOME problem?

Same on live ISO?
Could you try another Garuda DE?

And

:slight_smile:

yeah, i forget that. I try the KDE version and now the GNOME version, and both give me the same problem witch my screen.
On the live usb works me very well but when i finish the installation of the OS it just dosen't give video on my laptop screen, and i watched some of this threats and i cant find any fix for that.

Did you install with your TV already connected to your laptop?

If so, reinstall with no secondary display attached.

Fist thing after install, take a system snapshot with timeshift. Once that is done, then set up your secondary display.

no i didn't on the installation in the live usb and my primary screen just works fine there, but, when i finish the installation and boot my fresh garuda it dosen't give any trace on my screen

now i have installed the Dragonized gaming version and i have the same problem in the normal KDE distro, GNOME and the gaming version, i would paste my system information but i forget the cmd haha :sweat_smile:

im gonna try to dowing the Linux-Zen kernel to an official one

BIOS dates are a particular bugaboo of mine. Updated BIOS means the manufactures' hardware (firmware) is usually updated with it.

Yours is dated 2016. Are there any updates for it?

Not according to the page of the PC manufacturer

Hello its me again, after doing a little of research on the arch forums i did a conclusion.

The default kernel of garuda linux its the problem how i suspect before making this post so i change the 5.13.9 linux-zen to 5.10.56-1-lts to solve this problem, and the only one i can say its, downgrade or update if you encounter this problem.

And thanks to Garuda staff and to the people who watch and answered this post good day sailing and nights.

The LTS kernel was made for situations such as yours. A nice demonstration of that, and it’s good you did so. :1st_place_medal:

It also demonstrates why more than one kernel is appreciated and installed by a number of folks. :wink:

Two caveats; if you find one outstanding kernel and want to go with that, know that there are some long term Archers that do that and have only it installed. I’ve ever been that brave. :sob:

The second: it demonstrates that personal research actually works, heh? :wink:

Yeah, it just works if you have the enough initiative (and also desire to do it)
