RL 10v GNOME grey screen after booting

Hi,

I’m trying to install RL10 GNOME on an N150 PC.

Live Image (i.e. Rocky-10-Workstation-x86_64-latest.iso) works just fine and identifies a Built-in display and the external display. I can switch between displays and everything is fine.

When I install the system on disk, at the boot I get only a grey page.

I tried some commands (I found here or in internet) an this is the result:

lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help | grep x86-64-v
  x86-64-v4
  x86-64-v3 (supported, searched)
  x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)

liveuser@localhost-live:~$ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -e VGA -e 3D
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-N [Intel Graphics]

liveuser@localhost-live:~$ lsmod | grep -E 'i915|amdgpu|nouveau|nvidia'

cec 81920 3 drm_display_helper,xe,i915

liveuser@localhost-live:~$ glxinfo | grep -e OpenGL.vendor -e OpenGL.renderer
OpenGL vendor string: Intel
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Graphics (ADL-N)

So it seems the device should be supported.

The other strange thing is that if I install the system from KDE live iso, the installation works just fine.

Unfortunately I need to use GNOME for my needs.

I tried to install the system also from the DVD iso “Rocky-10.2-x86_64-dvd1.iso” with the same result, not able to use the PC.

What could I try? Is there anything I could install with the terminal after the booting?

Have you tried getting all the latest updates? If so, are there any errors in the logs? (Use journalctl to show the logs.)

yes, unfortunately no lucky.

could you please suggest the command to limit the logs to the display or similar?

A command like

journalctl --since "1 hour ago"

or

journalctl -r

could be fine?

I’d probably start with journalctl -r to read them in reverse so the latest things are first. And I’d start scrolling through the logs until I saw an error. If you’re using GNOME, I’d suggest running journalctl -r -u gdm since GDM is the service that is most likely having issues.

here some tests:

journalctl -r -u gdm
