Moved drive to new build, booting to blank screen

hpostler

I have Solus installed on an SSD that I migrated from my laptop to my new desktop build and it boots to a blank screen with a cursor. I've been able to access the terminal but I'm unsure of what to do to fix the issue so I can access the full DE.

Laptop Specs:
CPU: Intel 17-7700HQ
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050

New Desktop:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Radeon RX 5700

The SSD with Solus was working fine and has nvidia drivers loaded onto it. I think the issue is that I need to uninstall them, I am unsure of how to do that through the terminal.

Lastly, I can't get video output out of the MoBo, only the GPU. Not sure if that's relevant, but, I thought I'd include the info.

eopkg li | grep nvidia

Take note of the nvidia stuff installed, if it has modaliases in the name it can stay.

For me it would be (Yours will likely be different, you don't get -developer drivers by default):
eopkg li | grep nvidia

nvidia-340-glx-driver-modaliases - These files are used by the Software Center for hardware detection
nvidia-390-glx-driver-modaliases - These files are used by the Software Center for hardware detection
nvidia-developer-driver-32bit - 32-bit libraries for nvidia-developer-driver
nvidia-developer-driver-common - Shared assets for the NVIDIA Developer Dinary Driver
nvidia-developer-driver-current - NVIDIA Developer Binary Driver (Current Kernel)
nvidia-glx-driver-modaliases - These files are used by the Software Center for hardware detection

sudo eopkg rm nvidia-developer-driver-current nvidia-developer-driver-common nvidia-developer-driver-32bit

As you're using a 5700 make sure you're upto date before rebooting:
sudo eopkg up -y

Now reboot:
sudo reboot

3600 does not have a integrated GPU. So motherboard output for monitors will never work in this configuration.

Harvey that worked like a dream. Thanks so much!
