I’ve recently been unable to use my computer running Fedora 42 with gnome. It boots up, and GDM starts running, however it shows a flat grey screen with no login option. I can pull up a tty and login as normal (although using gnome-session to start a GUI session from there doesn’t work). I have tried to use systemctl to restart GDM from the tty, but that l brings me back to square one.
What can I do from here to resolve this issue?
GPU: Radeon 7800xt, Open Source Drivers Window System: Wayland.
UPDATE: Resolved, it was an issue caused by a faulty display port cable. Different issues from this cable had happened recently, I just initially assumed it was a software issue due to the fact that only GDM was affected.
Can you mark title as resolved?
if you’re savvy enough to know about gdm, you’re savvy enough to know to include at least some details, like what graphics you’re running, X11/Wayland, etc.
Edited to include now
honestly on single user machines I uninstall a display manager. autologin on console, and put a few lines in my zshrc to start my wm automatically
