Black screen after installing LTS kernel

raffy

Hi everyone,

I have switched my PCs to Solus which I love and have been trying to setup VNC and tried both tigerVNC and X11VNC and even TeamViewer and when I tried remoting in the screen flickers.

Because I have Intel Graphics I checked the kernel and found it's current version so I installed the LTS kernel and follow the link[(https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-management/en/)] to switch the Kernel to see if that will prevent the screen flickering, however, after rebooting my PC both Kernels aren't botting up and I just get a black screen, hopefully, there's a way to fix that.

I tried ctrl+alt+F3 to tried going into the command line, but no luck, I just get a flash of the login and nothing more.

I have Intel Core i7-4770 CPU with Intel HD Graphics 4600.

Thank you in advance.

Girtablulu thank you. But that might be a problem if can’t even get to the command line. When booting up the screen just go black and I don’t even when hitting the key combination I just get a flash of login.

raffy For me at least, I can press F1 or Del a bunch of times when my computer first boots up (I have to start while the boot logo is still displaying because the OS doesn't seem to clear the graphics buffer). This will open Solus's boot menu where you can select the previous installed kernel.

Alternatively, you can chroot from a live ISO which gives you terminal access where you can rollback the update.

MatthewScholefield that sounds good. I will give that a try and report back. Thank you.

P.S. I do get the boot menu but both kernels boot into a black screen. I also read that to go into tty to press Ctrl + Alt + F2 Instead, so will try that as well, then will see after that how to deal with the flickering.
