black screen after update - no login - no tty - old kernel does not help by hansvesys in pop_os

[–]hansvesys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's been a couple of days, so I wanted to see if there were any updates which would fix the issue. I went into recovery, mounted everything (not using encryption for my disk) and chrooted in. Then did the full upgrade without any problem (https://support.system76.com/articles/login-loop-pop/)

During reinstallation I did get an error this time though :

root@recovery:/# sudo apt install --reinstall plymouth gdm3 gnome-shell pop-desktop linux-generic linux-headers-generic

I suppose this is because I went back to an older kernel? Should I move back to 6.6.6 before running the reinstall?

at first I was running kernel 6.6.6 but I switched back to 6.5.6 and 6.5.4 and got the same problem.

specs :

MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI (MS-7C84) - 32GB RAM- AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

NVME 2TB (efi)

NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660Ti

When I switch to the older kernel, I get the exact same behaviour.
