GDM Not correctly autostarting

[Computer_Email23]

Hey…can u notice this behaviour with the LTS kernel?

Just install and switch to lts kernel and report back pls

[Fabby]

What’s the output to:

loginctl show-session $(loginctl | grep $USER | awk '{print $1}') --property Type

if there is nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ?

I tried toggling that flag on and off, and nothing changed (I read on another thread that it might be needed).
There’s another file, but it’s just setting up the keyboard

I need the nVidia GPU, the HDMI output goes directly to it and I plan to only use the laptop with an external screen

[mc47]

It shows Type=tty

That… worked! Thank you!

Thanks a lot @Fabby and @SLaItEr for the feedback and for the time.

I will keep this unresolved, until I play around with the system and be sure it doesn’t crash.
For completeness, here is the state that works:

Great it works now with the LTS kernel.

small question just for my learning experience .
You did rebuild grub after the changes earlier?

[Computer_Email23]

Welcome😀

[mc47]

Yes, everytime I did anything I ran sudo update-grub, otherwise the changes weren’t effective.
