Tumbleweed booting into runlevel 3 instead of GUI

English Install/Boot/Login

I posted about a month ago [Nvidia 570.153.02.run](Nvidia 570.153.02.run about my display shutting down when I tried execute the .run file of an nvidia driver.

I had the same problem when installing the 575.64.03 driver so I used the solution of going to runlevel 3, running systemctl isolate multi-user.target and then sytemctl isolate graphical.target after the installer finished.

But now, every time I reboot, my machine boots into runlevel 3 and I have to use the graphical.target command to get to the gui. Using the command systemctl start xdm.service takes me to a different desktop with no icons and a small command-like window.

Does anyone know what’s causing this?

@pilotgi likely a kernel update, need to run the install process again…

Show

systemctl get-default

The result is multi-user.target

I figured it out. I used systemctl set-default graphical.target and got back the gui when I reboot.

I have no doubt this pointed you to the solution.

But for your eventual next posts in another topic or here, this is not the prefrerred way of posting this. One does not tell stories, but one simply copy/pastes all, including the prompt/command, all output and the next prompt. Like

boven:~ # systemctl get-default
graphical.target
boven:~ #

Thus people see exact what you saw and can draw their own conclusions.
