I saw this was an issue and found a few posts on different forums but no real clear way to solve it. Seems like there are a bunch of suggestions out there.
I am dual booting Win 10 and rebornOS. I just purchased the following and installed reborn on a: HP ProDesk 405 G4 Desktop Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 Radeon Vega 11
I had issues booting off the USB drive too to install reborn as it would randomly freeze but once inside Linux I was able to run the install fine. But now whenever I boot up (post reborn install) its like 1 out of 6 times or so I can get in without freezing. Attached is an image showing where the freeze happens. So far I have not encountered any freeze while in Linux.
Thank you for taking the time to read and any suggestions are greatly appreciated! FYI, I’m still new at Linux only a 3 month old but glad to be here!
I have a question for you: Have you disabled secure boot on your computer?
Another one: What desktop have you installed? If you install GNOME or KDE, both desktops will start by default in Wayland. Try to select X11 when starting either of these two.
I have not found much information about your computer that can help me. On the HP website I have only found a short manual, which has not been of much help to me.
Thanks for responding. Yes I have secure boot disabled as shown in the attached. I have Gnome installed. Does selecting X11 matter as I can’t even get to the login screen to select these options when it freezes?
Thanks @ron I tried updating via network but bios just got stuck on “configuring network”. I will try to update perhaps another way.
It would be interesting to see the logs whenever you can get in. For example, let us assume you have a few unsuccessful boots and you finally boot successfully. Then after you login, please open the terminal and run journalctl -b -1 > ~/frozen_boot_log.txt. This would pull up logs from the previous boot and store it in a text file. Then you could upload the file frozen_boot_log.txt so that we can try digging it for information . Wish you a happy weekend
Ok thanks! The forum is only letting me upload images and won’t accept txt files. I tried adding with preformatted text but it’s saying its past the character limit. I uploaded it here:
Restart, select Advanced, on the screen that allows you to select RebornOS to start, and there you choose Kernel 5.10. Maybe with the LTS kernel it works better for you.
@Rafael Thanks, I see the following when I login, I don’t see x11?
Also, when I boot up I can select “reborn advanced” options and I have selected LTS there but still the same issue happens. Would the above suggestion you gave with sudo commands do the same thing?
