Has been happening from yesterday after i took some help from chatgpt to install some broken nvidia drivers to fix nvidia-smi
Does it stay on this screen? Can you still ssh into the system?
Yes. It just stays om this screen. And yes. I am able to access via nvidia sync on wifi
Check what target the system reached
systemctl get-default
systemctl status multi-user.target graphical.target
systemctl --failed
If multi-user.target is active and graphical.target is not, then it’s stuck before GUI.
Check the display manager
systemctl status display-manager
journalctl -b -u display-manager --no-pager | tail -80
Quick test: sudo systemctl restart display-manager
Make sure a TTY login exists on the console
sudo systemctl status [email protected]
sudo systemctl restart [email protected]
If that starts cleanly, try on the physical machine, if the keyboard works
Ctrl + Alt + F1…F6 to switch TTYs and see if a login prompt appears.
Look for serious boot errors
journalctl -b -p err..alert --no-pager | tail -100
dmesg | tail -80
dmesg | grep -i xhci | tail -40
collect also
systemctl --failed
systemctl status display-manager
journalctl -b -u display-manager --no-pager | tail -60
I just reset everythint back to factory settings
