can't boot live-session ahs MX-19.2 64bits with a razer stealth 2020 : black screen after grub

[SwampRabbit]

Is secure boot enabled in the BIOS?

Looking around, it looks like the (early and late) 2019 models need "nomodeset" to boot and potentially "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" after install.

So failsafe may get things going.

Have you tried the failsafe boot option?

I have tried all the boot options.

Secure boot is disable.
I have tried failsafe, with no result.
I have tried to add manually "nomodeset" (like for linuxmint) and "nidia-drm-modeset=1", but not result.

It looks like this Razer Blade Stealth 13 2020 gaming ultrabook has a single dedicated Nvidia GTX-1650 Ti Mobile GPU in it, which GPU was just released in April of this year and may not yet be supported by the Nouveau video driver in Debian and MX. I wonder if it's possible to boot the Live USB with persistence, install the latest Nvidia driver, remaster, reboot and reinstall? Or get the Nvidia driver installed on the live media in some other way so it gets carried over to the installation? (I'm asking the devs here.)


Meanwhile you may wish to try adding the noagp boot parameter. Another one to try is vga=normal.

Edit: it looks like the CPU also has an Intel Iris Plus GPU, so I'm guessing that this is a bumblebee system after all.

Ok I will try that, meanwhile

These 2 options don't work.
I will wait for further instructions or a new version of the installer. If you want me to test anything, feel free to ask.

Thank you for your help.

Just to let you know that on linuxmint I have no hardware accel and the soundcard doesn't work neither.

[JayM]

You may to have to wait a few months for Linux in general to catch up to that new hardware, whatever the distro is. Linux is, on average, 6 months behind the releases of brand-new hardware.

I don't care about the hardware accel right now, i can wait. But I need the soundcard Maybe i can try something for that...

I am using Linux mint on it right now and I would have been happy to test Linux MX.

You can try add manually boot parameters :
Turn off nvidia card :

Code: Select all

nouveau.modeset=0 nvidia.modeset=0

And rise up with intel
