Issue with starting the Pop_os system
I put Pop_os on a client machine that I was repairing and everything functioned fine the previous week. However, when I tried to launch it yesterday, it only showed a terminal with Ubuntu displayed. I reinstalled Pop_os and it worked last night, but the issue resurfaced today. Assistance needed.
Ugh... Nvidia is really annoying. It was the main reason I struggled with Linux. They still have so many issues. I definitely don’t miss using a Nvidia GPU on Linux. AMD is way more straightforward—just plug and play. But yeah, try an apt upgrade and see if it helps. If not, check that the Nvidia drivers are installed by running lspci -nnk. Make sure the kernel driver is actually Nvidia; maybe a kernel update fixed it. It’s possible the driver was removed during an update and needs reinstalling. I don’t think the desktop environment can just disappear on its own. Probably something directly tied to Nvidia.
