Title: [SOLVED] Blackscreen after boot after GPU change
Post by: Sandro on 02 February 2022, 11:15:59

Hello,

I've started having this issue after I upgraded my GPU.
When I power on my PC, i get to GRUB menu and choose my Artix kernel (I use openRC). It boots up normally as before, but after boot instead of getting to GUI login I get a black screen with flashing underscore. At this stage when I press ctrl+alt+F2 I get a "neofetch printout" and a login prompt. I can login and start typing commands. The same thing also happens when I boot Artix from liveUSB now. I am fairly new to linux so I don't know how to start the graphical environment from here. Any ideas what might have caused this, how to start the graphical environment and how to setup Artix to start the GUI automatically after boot again?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

I upgraded from "Sapphire GPRO 4300 4G GDDR5 PCI-E QUAD MINI DP" to "Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6900 XT Special Edition 16G".

Most relevant here: Xorg.0.log.

Ok, so after reading up on the drivers via the link you posted and checking the Xorg log, I found out that the issue was that the "amdgpu" drivers weren't loading properly. After some searching I've found this thread which contained the solution. Thanks for the reply!
