Solus Budgie 2024-10-14 : Black screen booting from live USB

GameFreecss

Hello,
Sorry for my broken English. I'm a Windows user, I've already experimented with Ubuntu on several occasions. Today, I'd like to switch completely to Linux and use Solus.

I made a bootable key with MultiWriter, I've checked the integrity of the ISO, all is good.

However, every time I boot on the key, after selecting Solus (regardless of the launch mode), the screen remains black.
I've literally spent all day on this problem, trying solutions from all over the place, but nothing works.

My config :
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X / NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti / 32 RAM

If you have a solution, that would be great. Ubuntu is nice, but it doesn't fit in with my ideas: I want Solus!

Thanks

GameFreecss This could be a graphics card issue, there is already another thread here that is exploring the same issue on a very similar setup.
Very much worth a look although as yet no solution has been reported.

Hello, there is also an older thread, since I have a laptop with similar specs https://discuss.getsol.us/d/11077-unable-to-install-solus-46-budgie-on-new-laptop

There is also an open bug report at https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/4216, but unfortunately there have been no updates yet.

Try this if it helps:

hit up/down keys right after bios screen (at boot)
on the menu "Solus 4.6 Convergence", hit "e" key to edit
add this "nomodeset" at the end
hit Enter to continue

Unfortunately that's what the Nvidia entry in the boot menu already does and it does not work
