Hello everyone! I’ve just experienced the most weird bug or idk what.
So, I was doing my biz, using onlyoffice to edit some docx, then suddenly my screen goes black, like no signal was being sent to my monitor (it was actually saying no signal detected).
Reboot, no image. I then open up my pc to see if it’s a hardware issue since I live at the sea, but there’s not even powder inside, let alone anything fishy like corrosion from sea-wind (I just bought a complete new insides for my pc because of that, so thankfully that’s not the case again).
Alright so I’ve tried to boot my backup system, aka Zorin OS on my SSD. Boots normally. Nothing out of order.
I tried to render a 120 frames animation on blender - flawless. Tried going for the Tomb Raider def. ed. benchmark - normal results, 30fps.
Tried to open Disks (from gnome) to see if the HDD where Garuda is installed was there yet, it was. I then made a self-test SMART and the results were okay.
Convinced it was not a hardware issue (and a lot relieved) I went back to see if Garuda was working. Still no image. Booted a snapshot from 13/Nov: IT WORKED! I promptly restored the snapshot… and when trying to boot on the normal system again, STILL NO IMAGE. Doesn’t even show the login splash, it only boots, shows me KDFONTOP thingy and straight up does not respond anymore.
I then lastly tried booting with a different kernel. I have Linux LTS (my main kernel) and Linux Hardened. Surprisingly, the hardened was able to boot and show image no issue.
So… I’m puzzled. Last update was like last thursday, how come I got a bad update then and only now it’s bugging? Is my LTS kernel borked or something?
Any help is absolutely appreciated on trying to figure this out.
Thank you.
