Hey Everyone, just finished installiong 10… have an odd one… every now and again… it just pushes me back to login screen…
then if i open terminal… i just get a white triangle ( i guess half of the terminal window ) and makes me log in again?
Any ideas on this one?
But how can you open terminal from the login screen, do you mean after logging in again?
Sorry i should of been more clear, yeah thats it… everytime ..
I have jsut also tried to play a video file.. does the same thing.
Sounds like a hardware issue.
I thought that… But only when opening terminal??? Or just randomly??? Could that be a thing??
Can open everything else like normal from what I can tell…
Thanks
Steps to reproduce are still a bit unclear.
Are you saying you get bounced to the login screen “at randon”, or ONLY when using terminal (or playing a video)?
Did you install any unofficial packages, or is it pure Rocky 10?
Next time it happens; write down the exact date / time, then as root, try
journalctl -e
scroll up, to before the crash, then check all messages, any warnings or errors?
Hey Gerry. The video thing seemed to be solved by installing the gnome video player that naommaly.came with 9.5.
Yeah I’ll.be using the computer then out of the blue sends me to login as if it’s restarted.
And anytime I open terminal, the terminal window shows as a white triangle.. the goes to login ..
Sorry Gerry I’m still.new… how would I do root. I thought root was something via terminal?
Does 10 not have logs like 9. Did?
Best
If you can’t use terminal at all, it makes it hard to run commands and view the logs. There is a Gnome “logs” app, but it’s not as clear as using a terminal.
Other option is log in normally, then press CTRL+ALT+F3 (or F1, or F2) until you get to the console (black screen with login prompt). Log in as your normal user then use sudo to run commands.
Hey Gerry. So I download the logs app like there was in 19… But that just has a red bar across the top and fails to log anything…
I done what you said ctrl alt F3.
Do errors show in red?
Right I was hoping to make a new image to check nothing went wrong… Turns out trying to open a zip file makes it do the same thing…
Went back to 9.6 to check, no probs there
Just to add I’m using work station
SOLVED!
Maybe i was being an idiot.. i use rocky for video editing…
with rocky v9 - i could have my monitor plugged into my nvidida graphics card… and it would work perfectly using nouveau drivers, while i installed all the full nvidida drivers…
Now if i plug my monitor into my Integrated graphics the problem goes away…
now i jsut need to figure out how to install those drivers… as all the old ways fail because of different packages…
I had the same issue, installing NVIDIA drivers resolved it for me.
I can see where it’s going wrong in the screenshots, it complains about nouveau, and then gnome-shell dumps core (taking you back to the login screen).
For future, you might be able to save the log (from the black console screen) to a text file, and then post it to the forum as text; the screenshots are missing some of the text.
I know you’ve solved but I’ll leave it here just in case.
I had the same issue in two systems. One laptop with a Intel integrated and a 1070 and my workstation with a 3060.
What I did was install another terminal from the store (yup). Looks the same as the gnome terminal but it would open instead of crashing. Then I installed the Nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion website. Restarted and all is working and the default terminal works fine.
