Hi guys! I have KDE Neon 6.2.3 running on my Surface Pro 7+, and up until now it’s been running rather smoothly, for years. But today I seem to be unable to fully boot anymore on normal mode. Linux will get stuck on the KDE spinning gear, with the gear frozen. And it becomes unresponsive, to open alternative consoles with control+alt+Fx, or even control+alt+del. The only thing that works is a force shutdown by holding the power button.
I tried with a previous kernel, with the same results (current is linux-image-6.10.10-surface-1, I have a generic 6.8.0-49, but it also freezes). I can boot in safe mode. It opens a different login screen, and after a failed attempt of opening lxde, it fails back to my usual KDE session, in safe graphics mode.
What can I test? How can I see what failed at boot?
I think you’re gonna find that a hard task. There isn’t one universal directory where apps saves their configs and bin files. You’ll find some in ~/.config
