#

installing?

#

or installed

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 3:28 AM

#

Installed , i was just trying to boot my laptop in morning

#

Its kind of inconsistent I load into mint sometimes and sometimes it's stuck in logo

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

are you dual booting the pc with Windows?

#

@raven talon

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 3:59 AM

#

Nope only mint

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 4:01 AM

#

try as SOON as it shows the green logo, to press Escape once. that way you can see what it is getting stuck on, in particular.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 4:11 AM

#

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 4:34 AM

#

those red things... maybe secure boot issue?

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

I have secure boot disabled from start

#

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 4:41 AM

#

not sure what it could be. try to think back to what was going on , hours or minutes before this issue ever occurred

#

did u say the issue is intermittently happening?

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 4:42 AM

#

Nope I am able to load in mint sometimes and can't load in sometimes

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 4:43 AM

#

that means intermittent.

#

check the bios settings for nvme or storage to be in non-RAID, and in AHCI mode

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 4:54 AM

#

I have no storage settings in my bios

#

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

raven talon

had a look. in "main" disable fast boot, and it should maybe work, as in it will be more thorough. and also enable the F12 boot menu key thing. can be useful

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

I am still stuck in logo

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 5:16 AM

#

i'm out of ideas since the startup messages are few

#

you can google the red ones to see if they really make a difference on the matter

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

In Google someone had same error and they said it's generally safe to ignore these error

#

And they said they solved with fsck command

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:06 AM

#

fsck already auto runs , it scanned partition 2 and shows clean

#

you may however boot a live CD or usb and do fsck on that dev/partition number yourself anyway

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

What I don't understand

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

raven talon

third line

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:09 AM

#

So what can be the problem

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:12 AM

#

was it always buggy this way from day one?

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:20 AM

#

I switch to Linux like 4/5 days ago and only today I am seeing this problem

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:23 AM

#

#

i think not

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:24 AM

#

No

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:24 AM

#

reboot, and tap Esc key BEFORE mint gets a chance to start and show its logo

#

not too early

#

not late

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:25 AM

#

Yes I am in grub now

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:25 AM

#

ok pick advanced options

#

#

anything more than one version

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:26 AM

#

I see 3 options

#

Linux mint, advanced options for linux mint and uefi firmware settings

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:33 AM

#

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:42 AM

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:52 AM

#

ok try the recov. with dpkg fix

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:53 AM

#

With 54 recovery mode right

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:54 AM

#

#

it seemed that 51 still failed. so seems to rule out kernel

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

#

The 3rd one dpkg fix

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 7:10 AM

#

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

I let it reboot or enter grub again

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 7:20 AM

#

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 7:21 AM

#

#

#

odd plinth Feb 28, 2025, 7:35 AM

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 7:35 AM

#

#

"reboot"

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 8:10 AM

#

Still same problem stuck in mint logo

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 8:17 AM

#

Boot from usb stick with mint. Open the terminal. cat /proc/partitions. Then run sudo fsck -y /dev/<your_root_partition>

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 8:18 AM

#

I boot from USB stick and open which terminal

#

#

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 8:59 AM

#

sudo fsck -y /dev/nvme0n1p2

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 9:25 AM

#

Now reboot. Let's see if it boots normally.

#

Take out the usb stick.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

Nope still stuck in linux mint logo

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 9:40 AM

#

Wait for at least 3 minutes. Press esc when showing the mint logo and wait a little bit more. Maybe tells something.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 9:40 AM

#

You mean wait in ljnux mint logo for like 3mins?

#

You mean click escape when mint logo shows and wait ?

#

#

Only this same error

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

Reboot
When you see mint logo next time type ctrl+alt+f2
login with your user
Then type startx

#

Let us see what it shows.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:09 AM

#

#

Where I type startx

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:10 AM

#

raven talon

Now it got you to the login screen I see.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:10 AM

#

Now what can I do

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:11 AM

#

raven talon Now what can I do

Simply log in with your user and password.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:12 AM

#

I mean is it fixed

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:12 AM

#

It seems it is fixed.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:13 AM

#

I was able to load in in morning too 1,2 times but when I reboot or boot again it stuck at logo again do I reboot to check it?

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:14 AM

#

Reboot and wait for 3 minutes at least.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:17 AM

#

Yes I get stuck in logo

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

Now press ctrl + alt + f2
then log in with your user
then type startx
Make a picture of the screen. Maybe it shows something.

#

If ctrl+alt+f2 is not showing anything, try ctrl + alt + f3 or ctrl + alt + f4 - you should get to a tty that leaves you to log in.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:21 AM

#

Again I press ctrl alt f2 when mint logo shows right

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:21 AM

#

raven talon Again I press ctrl alt f2 when mint logo shows right

Yes.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:23 AM

#

It took me several tires to enter lock screen with ctrl alt f2 it's inconsistent

#

That time

#

I got in

#

Now what I do

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:27 AM

#

Show your screen.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:28 AM

#

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:29 AM

#

Open a terminal. type systemctl status lightdm

#

Give me what it shows.

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:29 AM

#

raven talon It took me several tires to enter lock screen with ctrl alt f2 it's inconsistent

It should be only a terminal window, not the desktop.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:39 AM

#

Run the following commands:

systemctl --user disable gnome-keyring-daemon.socket```

#

Reboot and let me know if it starts correctly.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:45 AM

#

Now restart?

#

It says it will still start automatically

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:46 AM

#

Try to reboot.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

Stuck in logo

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

press ctrl + alt + f2 - you should see only a terminal window that asks you to login.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

I press it once when I see the mint logo right

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

Yes.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:51 AM

#

Nope I only got into lockscreen

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

press ctrl+alt+f2 now

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

What I am already in mint

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

Yes. You can press it anytime to go to a tty.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

Nothing happens when I press ctrl alt f2

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

First ctrl + alt, then release them, then press f2.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

When I press f2 my sound decreases

#

Volume

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

Oh. Reboot again and wait for 5 minutes. Tell me if it leaves you into mint.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

Is it happening cuz of my driver

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

Do you have an nvidia graphics? Show system info here (add it to a file).

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

How add it to a file

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

Save it as a .txt file on your PC and attach it here.

#

Start menu -> Type system or about -> System info -> Copy to clipboard (you can add it to a file or paste it in discord directly).

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

📎 message.txt

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Type drivers on the start menu, go to graphics drivers and select "recommended" one.

#

Then reboot.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

yesterday i switched to nvidia performance mode is that causing this problem

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:04 AM

#

Maybe yes. Pick on the normal mode.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:04 AM

#

now i reboot right

#

i already have recommended driver selected

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

Have you turned off performance mode in nvidia?

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

yes i switched it to normal nvidia on demand mode which was default

#

now can i reboot

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

Yes.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

Omg finally I didn't have to press anything I entered automaically

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

Great. Mark this as solved.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

Can I check anything if my device working functional

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:09 AM

#

Sure.

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

Do I have to enable them again Run the following commands:

systemctl --user disable gnome-keyring-daemon.socket```

glacial wraith Feb 28, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

raven talon Do I have to enable them again Run the following commands: ```systemctl --user d...

Yes. But with enable in place of disable

raven talon Feb 28, 2025, 11:12 AM
