Does ctrl-alt-f1 (or 2, 3, ..) do anything?

Does ctrl alt delete do anything?

What distro and version are you using? Which drivers did you update and how did you update them?

linux mint stable jammy jelly, rtx 2070s, updated via driver manager, will try alts now

What distro are you using? Which deivers did you update? What hardware do you have? nvidia gou? etc. Definitely first try going into different tty with ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 etc.

linux mint stable, nvidua, rtx 2070s. whats a different tty wdym

[-] buwho@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

it is a text based environment of you OS, you can switch between multiple text based environments. if your graphical environment is just black, but the OS is still active you should be able to switch to another text based environment using that key combo (ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 or f4 etc.) from there you can potentially roll back the driver, view system logs to troubleshoot, etc.

Good explanation! When I had this issue that he has, I was unable to switch between tty's because there was no output at all. Should only need to force restart for it to come back and be fine. But always a good reminder to have backups, time shift is my best friend!

yeah gettinf no output lol

i guess cross your fingers and do a hard reboot!

If the PC has been running all this time, i would just hard reset it by now. Hopefully it will come back up, if not I hope you made a back up recently to restore, otherwise reinstall fresh.

I had this happen the other day on mint as well, I just waited a few minutes till I thought it would be done and restarted (force power off). Everything was fine after that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
