Solved Fedora 43 booting to black screen, even after reinstalls

Solved issue


Seems like it's a specific bug with Fedora and KDE Plasma.

Can you share what the 10 lines of your /etc/defaultgrub looks like and also the second command?
Code:
head -n 10 /etc/default/grub
grubby --info=ALL | grep rhgb

Thank you. I'll take a look at these links when I'm more alert

Try running this.
Code:
sudo grubby --remove-args="rhgb" --update-kernel=ALL
Then reboot?
This results in:
  • The screen with the spinning icon and the Fedora logo;
  • A lot of lines of what-I-think-are-commands-or-logs being shown;
  • Black screen, which can be resolved with sudo systemctl restart sddm
 
You can just add it back then, by running this.
Code:
sudo grubby --args="rhgb" --update-kernel=ALL

Then just try to use the workaround on the other link I shared.
Code:
sudo systemctl edit sddm.service

Then added the following snippet at the top.
[Unit]
After=plymouth-quit.service

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5
Save it and then run this.
Code:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Then reboot.
 
They're discussing something that sounds similar to your issue as well, be sure to read through both links as well, try what's suggested in the first link and then also read through the second link to see what else you could try.

Alright...and with that done, and a few more reboots, Fedora is loading smoothly
I've installed some programs, and am doing more things. I think I can call this solved, so let me update the thread after I post this

Which leaves one final, very important question:
@f33dm3bits , I can see that you like to be f3d bits. How do you like your bits served, and how do you like your bits being f3d to y0u?

In other words: THANK YOU :hug:

And thank you to @dos2unix too!

P.S. You're a rather helpful bunch on these forums. Is there a donation link, that I might show my appreciation financially?

There is, indeed.

Glad to have helped you come to a solution. Hopefully they will fix this bug soon for people who do new installations.
 
Is there any clear fix to this? I am using an RTX 5060ti and Intel I5 14400f Fedora 43, I keep installing it then after I install a few programs it does exactly this, I tried not installing any updates or drivers but it still keeps showing a blank black screen

Sorry if the fix is obvious in this conversation somewhere I just cant find it.

This worked for OP, starting from.
