I’m not sure if this is the best community to post in, but I just bought a used computer and slotted in an RX480 as the GPU. I installed KDE Neon 5.27 on it, and it worked flawlessly for 2 days.

Then, even though it was working earlier today, it slept and then would not wake up. So I turned off the power and turned it back on again, and was greeted with this error screen:

The only prior error message I’d gotten from the system was when I tried to install wine for one application, it told me some packages weren’t up to date, without a way to fix it. I can enter the BIOS just fine.

What is going on? How do I fix this?

    I used nano to edit /etc/fstab and commented out the last line and the system booted into GUI mode!

    This leaves me with some questions:

    1. Why does fstab fail to mount the NTFS raid array?
    2. Why does the raid array failing to mount block the EDID signal? It’s not like the OS lives on the raid array.
    3. How do I properly mount the raid array and how do I automate it every boot if I can’t use fstab?

      Looks like you need to look for messages about /dev/md0 and why it may be timing out. Also maybe add nofail to the raid entry in fstab so you can still boot if the root fs is not on it and it fails ( is root on NTFS possible or good?)

      I don’t think the edid message is a problem, just an artifact of your monitor not talking to your video card?

      Maybe NTFS is the problem, I think it needs special options to automatically remove the dirty bit and replay the journal
