I created an issue in the GitLab and I didn’t get a response from others, but recently I tried using using the USB stick, made a backup, GNOME disks used, and booted the GNOME OS nightly from a USB but when I tried it only results in a “black screen” for some reason, I can confidently say it just meets my system requirements according the contribution.md saying quote: “Must be running a Linux-based OS such as Fedora or Ubuntu, 50 disk space free, 4 gigs of RAM” however my computer specs is around 4 gigs of RAM, and 128 gigs of storage space, I ran recently with Fedora 41 but this time it doesn’t work anymore, previously I tried using Ventoy but it was no use, it didn’t work, now I am looking for help as to why this is happening: Is it normal? Is it loading? Is it a bug or s glitch? I made an issue but yet again: nobody responded, so what should I do now?
What is your graphics card?
You may be hit by Black Screen booting to KDE 6.1.5 (mesa 24.2.2-1) (#11966) · Issues · Mesa / mesa · GitLab if you are using nouveau and wayland (like me).
I have no idea what the brand of the graphics card is, all I know is that it has 4 gigs of RAM and nothing else. Also I don’t know what nouveau, I didn’t use Wayland on Fedora 41, right I just switched distros.
Forgot to mention that I wasn’t KDE if that is the concern here.
Same issue, after creating a live usb media, it boots to gnome os installer or you choose uefi firmware settings, either way after hitting install the screen goes black. And it’s not secure boot. Gnome in arch Linux has audio out issues. This seemed better for installing gnome by itself. Maybe it’s different wall papers or themes, or different terminal commands. Formatting certain stuff in arch Linux didn’t work, so stuck with Ubuntu. But it’d be cool to get a solid Linux distro called gnome.
Maybe most people just convert Ubuntu into gnome by using tweaks and changing the extensions and settings.
So what’s the solution here exactly? I am currently using Linux Mint 22.1 so that’s one thing to consider, but looking at their so-called “contributing.md” file, which I can’t find the link because I think it’s gone or something, but what I think it said: 4 gigs of RAM, 30(something-ish) gigs of storage, Must run a linux-based distro like Ubuntu or Fedora, and the other things said. So this must be some sort of a requirement to run an OS, but I have no clue. If there are any remedies or solutions then yeah, thank you.
Risky, I think your right, it’s not the secure boot (I always have it disabled), but what do you mean by
“This seemed better by installing gnome by itself”
I guess you maybe referring to Arch or GnomeOS?
“Stuck with with Ubuntu”
yourself or you just saying to stick with Ubuntu (by recommendation)? Either way, I agree that it would rather be cool to get a solid linux distribution called GnomeOS, which I am a Gnome fan myself due to it’s looks and design, hell even flatpaks look gnome thememd, so that’s nice. And I see you’re opinion and stance on it, but never really used Ubuntu myself so yeah, that’s kinda the thing, over all thanks for you’re opinion, I guess.
At this point the OS itself must be fixed if this continues on, this bug that I am experiencing when I first moved to a development branch of Ubuntu (25th series), I think I am kinda done with this distro if this bug is not fixed, yet meets all my requirements. If somebody experiences the same issues as I had, then this must mean it could be effective on any computer (which I highly doubt because these images are functioning on their computer, which is confusing). Sorry, but if it’s a bug, then it needs to be maintained.
I think I am kinda done with this distro if this bug is not fixed, yet meets all my requirements.
Please be aware that GNOME OS is not yet ready for public use. It’s basically a pre-pre-alpha at the moment. So yes, it’s possibly buggy at the moment. If you’re planning on using GNOME OS now you’re a very early adopter. So please keep that in mind
