Nvidia drivers/No DE
DataDrake Ok, I rebooted my computer and spammed spacebar. A menu pops up giving me 2 options,
Solus 4 Fortitude
Firmware Interface
Picking Solus 4 Fortitude boots me into Kernel: 4.20.16 and Firmware Interface takes me to bios... How do I switch to the new Kernel? Software Center says the new kernel in installed and I ran sudo eopkg install --reinstall linux-current
Smeejo1 Not sure if maybe you somehow blacklisted the linux-current kernel from updating or not, but if you search the Software Center for linux-current, the version is 5.2.20-130 so I'm honestly not sure how eopkg thinks you're up to date though.
Scotty-Trees I just have to select the correct kernel at boot from what I understand. The option that's supposed to be there isn't though.
Smeejo1 Run these commands one at a time:
sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 5
sudo clr-boot-manager update
What this will do is when you turn on your computer, it'll display whatever kernels you do have installed and you can select them that way. The 5 just means you have 5 seconds to decide which kernel to use before it loads up the last kernel that you've used. Hope maybe that helps address your issue.
Scotty-Trees sudo clr-boot-manager update

Smeejo1 Perhaps having a look at these links may help you out:
Scotty-Trees Neither of those links actually explain how to do any of what they are talking about.
Solved the issue.
My boot (/dev/sda1) was not mounted. So I had to manually add /dev/sda1 to /etc/fstab The steps I took were to open terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Scroll down to the bottom and add:
/dev/sda1 /boot vfat defaults 0 1
Hit CTRL X > yes > enter
From there, in terminal, I had to type:
Sudo mount /dev/sda1
That mounted sda1 to boot. I was then able to do in Terminal:
sudo eopkg install --reinstall linux-current
sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 5
sudo clr-boot-manager update
Rebooted my computer and Finally had the option to select the latest Linux-current Kernel. Updated nvidia drivers via doflicky and it worked as it should.
Smeejo1 Thanks for the detail! That may come in handy in the future if someone else comes across a similar issue, thanks for following up with that information and happy to hear everything is working, great job figuring it out!
