I am running Fedora KDE 40 alongside Windows 11 23H2, (the PC in question is also sometimes used by a few other family members, which is the reason I still have Windows) When I tried restarting into Fedora today, everything appeared fine, I selected the normal boot fedora option in GRUB, and the normal loading screen showed up. to be then followed by the cursor appearing for a while before it simply disappears, the screen goes black & turns back on stuck on a screen which is completely black with a terminal-like cursor in the very top left, It will then stay stuck thet way until you forcibly turn off the power. This hasn’t happened before. I tried a live boot and checked the partition… It dosen’t seem any different than normal. One thing I did notice is that yesterday on the login screen the sleep and restart option where bugged out, but I wouldn’t think that’s relevant? Can anyone help. I’m not sure what could be happening.

EDIT: here are some pics of the logs, I still dont know why this happened or really what to do, I’m still fairly new to this

    Oh, I hadn’t realised those were there. I’ll see if I can get the GUI back up through the terminal. Do you have any idea what might’ve causes it to fail in the first place, though?

      No disk space available, corrupt startup scripts, borked update, etc…

      Could be anything. Driver issues, memory issues, config issues…who knows.

      Just check logs once you get logged in, and it should be easier to figure out.
