Basically I was able to play Cyberpunk on my Nobara setup (N37, KDE, Nvidia 10180ti, Intel i5 CPU) but everything went sideways when I upgraded from kernel version 6.2.14-300 to 6.3.5-201 (and still have issues despite several upgrades since then and now on 6.3.12 I think).

If I switched back to 6.2.14-300 I was able to play but since there has been a few upgrades since, I no longer have 6.2.15-300 as an option at start up.

The game launches but it stays on a black screen, no audio, no visuals just the cursor. I’ve reinstalled the game and nothing. Switched from X11 to wayland and nothing.

I can’t remember which nvidia driver version I have right now but it’s the latest in the Nobara repos.

Game was installed through Lutris and worked great prior to the upgrade.

Well tried upgrading to n38 last night, now it’s not booting up all the way. I followed the guide on Nobara’s website.

Currently stuck at “Failed to start systemctl-user db.service”

I can do an ALT + F3 and it takes me to the terminal where I can log in just fine but that’s about all I can do. No GUI, No KDE. Did I search on Google and Nobara’s discord but nothing useful. Would really rather not have to reinstall clean. Any ideas?

Have you tried reinstalling kde. Sounds like it might have been wiped?

[–] lal309 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just tried. No dice. Ran a few commands.

dnf group list --available *desktop - this did not list KDE as an option at all.

dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" - this said that nothing was found as if the package was not available

dnf install @kde-desktop-environment - seems to have installed KDE but after reboot, no DE, just back to the terminal.

I also ran disabling gdm and enabling ssdm commands but I can’t remember exactly what I ran.

No dice.

If I run dnf list installed | grep kde it shows nothing.

Darn. I had a similar experience with gnome getting deleted during an update and just had to reinstall the DE.

It’s starting to sound like I need to reinstall the OS.

Shouldn’t have dnf groupinstall “KDE Plasma Workspace” installed everything I needed if the DE was corrupted or deleted during upgrade? Do I need to run any other commands?
