Hi, I am struggling to install Solus on my new laptop which has AMD Ryzen 3900 and NVidia RTX 2070 (with MaxQ) - on my old laptop with AMD Phenom II P960 and ATI 4200/5470 graphics is working alright (and the install was a breeze). I had a look online and all the advises I found ended up in the same spot = a blinking cursor.
The best result (to actually have some feedback on the screen) I had it with following steps:
- on boot from USB pressed 'E' then deleted 'quiet splash' and added 'nomodeset' or 'nouveau.modeset=0'
- at the blinking cursor (when no more / info shown on screen) - pressed (Alt+F6) or (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and then login with root / root
- sudo eopkg up
- sudo eopkg it nvidia-glx-driver-current
next step (5. sudo systemctl restart lightdm) did not work as it took me back to a blinking cursor
is there any possibility to overcome this or to start the Install process from the terminal commands ? or I need to wait for the Solus OS 4,2 and hope for the best at that time.
any help appreciated, thanks
