Run this, I want to see your kernel log:
sudo journalctl -k -b0 --no-pager > kernel.log
Then copy and paste the contents of kernel.log to hastebin and then share the link for it here:

The 500 series of nvidia drivers doesn't support the 7xx series gpu anymore. You have to go to use the 400 series driver.
See this post: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/8391-psa-for-users-of-older-nvidia-cards
kaktuspalme Actually @murbert's GPU is still supported by the 515 series driver. The GTX 745, 750, and 750 TI from the 700 series didn't have their support dropped for whatever reason. And anyway they are using disk encryption and the nvidia driver isn't loaded until after the drive is unlocked (it's not built into the initrd as a consequence of how Solus distributes the initrd as part of the kernel packages) so it can't be the cause of the initial text-based output not appearing.
murbert what version of the kernel were you using before this update? I imagine 5.15.50 unless you hadn't updated in a while?
Anyway, I think I might have an idea of why this failed. Can you download this package and then run sudo eopkg it /path/to/linux-current-5.15.61-217-1-x86_64.eopkg
and then sudo usysconf run -f
after it. Let me know whether it helps or not.
Please then upload the kernel log from that boot. I want it whether the issue is still happening or if it's fixed.

I update weekly so whatever the previous one was.

It did not work
murbert You didn't actually mention whether that kernel worked for you or not. The section that I expected to be different because of my changes is different but that doesn't actually mean you got the graphical output in the password entry section.
Oh NVM I see that you saying it didn't work got put in the quote section of the markdown.
Here's another one to try
ReillyBrogan I installed that one and ran the following command like last time, still no decrypt prompt
Well, unfortunately that was the last of the low-hanging fruit to test with. We're going to need to try a bunch of different kernel versions to see which version introduced this issue and then probably bisect our way through that version to find the exact commit that broke it (so that we can revert that commit or otherwise understand what we need to do to fix the issue). From this point on I'm going to be providing 2-3 kernel builds at a time, in each batch please test ALL of them and then for each one provide the kernel log and whether it worked or not. I'd recommend you also have linux-lts (and the matching nvidia package) installed so that you have a working kernel to boot into just in case.

I just installed the lts and ran sudo clr-boot-manager set-kernel com.solus-project.lts.4.14.290-186
When booting the HP logo now switches off after a bit and the screen goes black. Still no prompt but a better cue to decrypt.

From tomorrow morning until Friday morning I'll be away from this computer. If you give me anything to test today I will do my best to get to it before I leave, otherwise Friday is when I can do more testing
Is this still an issue with the latest 5.15 kernel? If so could you hop on https://dev.getsol.us/T10428 and comment there?
ReillyBrogan I don't know, I reinstalled without encryption
Sorry you had to do that, but thanks for the update!
