I was having exactly that issue this morning.
Gray screen instead of my usual Gnome workspace, no icons, no desktop, only a dark gray screen…
So the “solution” is to hit SPACE on boot to change the kernel to an older one ?
What I did was to revert back from revision 37120 to revision 36900 :
$ sudo swupd repair -m 36900 --force
And it did the trick after a loong while
Happy sunday mornings like that…
I really appreciate Clear Linux overall for the performance and clean design but I’m seriously thinking about changing next time for something more reliable : something like that happened 2 times in 2 years… Well maybe that’s not a lot in the linux world, but talk about stability… Yeah I know they’re dropping the desktop part… And they probably don’t test everything due to not enough budget…
Anyway I’ll wait for a later update, 37140 or something like that
CL would be perfect otherwise. And I mean it.
