  well right now, pop os boots into a black screen with a blinking terminal entry underscore, except I can’t actually type any inputs. going into recovery mode and running sudo fsck doesn’t do anything to fix it, or even return any useful info about what might be wrong.

    Do you gave an nvidia graphics card? The only problem I’ve had since I installed Pop OS is their shity driver installer crapped out somehow and I gad to recover my system by blacklisting amd graphics driver, uninstall nvidia driver and reinstall. It wad not for the feint of heart.

      Yes, and as a matter of fact it is a drivers issue. Trying to update to nvidia 570 results in the display going dark and never coming back. Doing it through the terminal with system76’s recommended drivers, it fails to install 570, seems like a file didn’t download or unpack correctly or something. Not quite sure how to fix it

        Try these steps:

        ^$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia* # remove current installed nvidia software including drivers^ ^$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # verify it sees your graphics card^ ^$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # install drivers automatically^ ^$ sudo reboot^

      found out it’s a Nvidia drivers issue. don’t know how to fix it though, besides reinstalling an older one.

        It might just be easier to backup your home folder and reinstall.
