MX Linux Forum

Hello, even after following your steps and making a new user, the problem persists. Should I reinstall MX?

Hello JayM,

Thanks for the response, but how can I change run level via SysV init?

I am changing location. Will let you know if problem is resolved.

[Update]
Issue is resolved. Now I am on Firefox78

Hello,

Today I am facing a bizarre situation. Whenever I am booting, I am presented with cli, instead of usual GUI login screen.

$ sudo systemctl get-default
graphical.target

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the help timkb4cq.

I am reading the guide and will take steps as told. I will be reverting back to this thread if the issue is solved or not.

This is the firmware for the navi 12 and arcturus GPUs from AMD that are not out yet .
You are running a very new kernel which has the entries for that new firmware, so it can try loading them on amdgpu capable graphics cards, but the actual firmware hasn't been released.

So those aren't error ...

Have you tried running this machine on a standard MX 64bit, rather than the AHS version first?


Hello tascoast,

I have got similar message on Standard x64 iso, which is the reason I installed AHS version with a hope that it might work. A google search with the above warning lines got me into an ...
