In fact, there seems to be no typo in the commands to delete, but can you have a look there with the file manager for such files?

And do you still have the default kernel 4.19 ? Or have you tried any other kernels?

Maybe installing another kernel from MX Package Installer (Popular Apps tab) .. say 5.4 .. or 5.2 .. 5.1 and booting with that helps ...

[dada666]

I've tried 5.6 kernel. There is no "no-mode-set.conf

[Huckleberry Finn]

Yes, 5.6 is the current one.. Can you install and boot with 5.4 ?

(After installation it will be in sub-menu on Grub .. "advanced boot options")

If the no-mode-set.conf files are gone then try rebuilding the initramfs:

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

[dada666]

Kernel 5.4 boots to black screen.

[dada666]

Code: Select all

$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Okay, now reboot and select kernel 4.19 from the "Advanced Options" boot sub-menu.

[dada666]

It boots to black screen.

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Can you switch to a console screen with <ctrl>+<alt>+F3? Does applying radeon.modeset=0 as a kernel parameter get you to the desktop again?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Maybe the file causes that if it's existing, without deleting :

Code: Select all

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-tearfree.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-tearfree.conf.old

Reboot to 4.19 then 5.4 then 5.6
