Good day,
After a power outage I had a PC with a discrete video card die so I move the HD over to a PC with an Intel i5 with integrated video. The original pc had both nvidia and an amd card in it at some point.
The behavior I have now is tty1 opens to a blank screen with a cursor flashing in the top left. if I switch to tty5 to login, it is pulled back to tty1 pretty quickly. I can SSH in I dont really know were to look for logs to troubleshoot. Based off of web searches I've tried :
sudo apt-get remove amdgpu-pro
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-amdgpu*
cd /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sudo mv 10-amdgpu.conf ~/
sudo mv 10-radeon.conf ~/
sudo mv nvidia-drm-outputclass-ubuntu.conf ~/
sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install -reinstall gdm3 gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm3 gnome-shell
where do i go to troubleshoot this boot problem I assume is caused by the change in video card even though the whole machine changed.
Thank you,
Edit: Forgot to mention that I had upgraded to 20.04. Pretty sure that gdm3 is in charge, but i donr see logs for it and I dont know if/how X11 or Wayland are involved with a normal install.
