Boot freezes at initialized nvidia-drm

I’m fed up and done, somehow im a first for every linux issue/ 3 times now this has happened. So everytime I boot I see an error and I assume it’s related. hub 8-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn’t have any ports! (err -19). Sadly i don’t even see that now. When I looked it up everyone said update your bios, and naturally that didn’t fix it.

All that happens now is either I boot, it hangs at boot and then sends me to some error screen.

I don’t want to reinstall because this is just gonna happen again.

log im given before it completely gave up on me. Last time I left my apartment for the weekend and it was still just sitting at this

@sophimoo you have AMD and Nvidia GPU’s by the looks… what settings do you have in grub kernel options?

how can I check this within grub

@sophimoo At the grub menu select the boot option and press the ‘e’ key to edit, use the arrow keys to scroll to the line starting linux/linuxefi and inspect the entries. I would suggest adding nomodeset and pressing F10 to boot, graphics won’t be great, but should help the system boot.

Can you confirm if dual graphics?

okay so I managed to boot into recovery mode and it told me to write journalctl -xb, upon checking this I found a few lines about a USB stick I had plugged in earlier, now upon removing this USB I can no longer boot, but if its plugged in I can boot into my machine


edit: I went into Yast and removed something that tries to mount this on boot, i still don’t understand why that prevents my entire system from booting but oh well. This is now “fixed” until it happens in a week again.

thank you for the help ^-^ i apologise for my frustration

@sophimoo not being used as swap or for hibernation?

no, i just plugged it in earlier today to grab some files off it. Come to think of it everytime this happened it was some USB storage device I plugged into my pc
