Hello I’ve suffered error when booting Rocky 8.6 Linux 5 hours ago, I installed Rocky Linux 8.6 using USB, and the installation was successful After that, I set the desktop preset, and disk partition, and finished the setup. Next, I rebooted, checked the additional settings, and pressed Done. After that, I got a black screen and couldn’t go back to TTL or open a terminal window. I thought there might be something wrong with my computer for a while, so I rebooted, and it booted up and showed the ROCKY logo and then the black screen again. What could be the problem and what can I check to fix it? I’m wondering if it’s a graphics card problem, but the basic GUI doesn’t require a graphics driver, so I don’t think it’s that. CPU : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 V4 2.60Ghz GPU: GTX 1080 TI main borad: asus z10pews-d8 ---

Could be the nouveau driver for the NVIDIA card that you have in the machine that is the problem. Other than that, Rocky 8.6 is no longer supported - the current release is Rocky 8.9. Or Rocky 9.3 for example, so 9.2 or earlier are also not supported. Better would be to try a newer release. ---

Better would be to use rpmfusion or elrepo repositories for installing Nvidia Drivers: [NVidia drivers: RPMFusion vs. ELRepo - #2 by stack](https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/nvidia-drivers-rpmfusion-vs-elrepo/7473/2) In that thread there is a post about using nvidia-detect which will tell you which Nvidia driver is required for your device. Changes are you have the wrong one installed, and is why you have black screen. ---
