Hi, I'm quite new to Linux so please be patient with me and I appreciate your help. I've just reinstalled Debian as my Motherboard and m.2 drive failed. When booting KDE fails to show. The steps I've gone through:
On fresh install nothing shows, I can change to different tty sessions, and I do not see anything obvious in Xorg logs about a driver failing or any sddm errors.
I then disconnected my monitor from my GPU and moved it to my motherboard, using my CPU on board graphics to output. KDE succeeds here, and my system detects everything as normal, including my gpu:
At this point I attempted to install the proprietary nvidia driver to see if this fixed my issues. I did this by following the debian instructions on https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... ookworm.22 . I then restarted my system, and reconnected my displays to my GPU.
Upon reboot, after bios and grub, there was some initial pixelly tearing output for half a second, before going completely black. At this stage I am stuck, I cannot change to different ttys to bring up a shell, and I am forced to reboot.
TL;DR, My system detects my GPU fine, however it seems perhaps my display manager (or whatever system uses Xorg, I am guessing at this point as I am new to Linux..) is not working with my GPU. I am unsure how to debug this, and am now stuck using onboard graphics.
Please help!
Many thanks
