I am new to Ubuntu and decided to use ChatGPT to help me fix a graphical problem. My PC no longer boots. I will try to share chat when available (currently I get error every time i click 'share').
Ubuntu 22.04 boots to a black screen with a visible cursor solution step was already done, so it was of no use on my PC.
System Specifications:
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5
- Kernel: 6.8.0-40-generic
- CPU: Intel i9 gen-13
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090
- NVIDIA Driver Version: 555.58.02
- Desktop Environment: GNOME
- Display Manager: GDM (gdm3)
When I boot my system, it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top-left corner instead of the graphical login screen. I can access TTY terminals using Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6, but the GUI does not start.
System logs for error testing:
(used image2text and a lot of manual typing, so there may be slight output errors)
