  • Solus Budgie GUI useless after today's update

WetGeek Same happened to me just now. Update went normal. After reboot I could login but after briefly showing the desktop it goes blank. There seems to be something wrong with that last update.

    DataDrake Intel?

    Yes, for the CPU (i7) and integrated graphics. GPU is NVIDIA GK106GLM (Quadro K2100M).

      DataDrake Can I see someone's dmesg from a failed boot please?

      Sorry, discuss wouldn't allow more than 64k. I'll see if I can attach the file another way.

      Heh, now I get "Uploading of this type is not allowed" while trying to upload dmesg.txt.

      Any other ideas?

          Staudey Save it on hastebin

          Done. But I've never used hastebin before, and the only link I can see is just hastebin.com. Is there some other way to identify what I just pasted to there?

              Another suggestion for testing if it is Intel SRBDS mitigation related, boot your system then spam the spacebar until you see the kernels listed. Press e and you'll see a input at the bottom of your screen. Type srbds=off then press Enter.

                JoshStrobl you'll see a input at the bottom of your screen

                Done. Not sure what you meant by "input at the bottom" but what I saw there was initrd. I didn't know whether I should enter srbds=off before or after that content, so I tried it both ways.

                Neither attempt apparently did anything. Reboot and login the same as before, then the bottom panel displayed and the screen went blank.

                  DataDrake Please remove virtualbox-guest-common. You don't need it

                  YES! Rebooted and logged in normally. A long time ago, I tried to run a Win10VM on that machine, but not since.

                  EDIT: I'll make sure that it isn't on any of the other Budgie computers here, before attempting the updates.
