Kernel 6.17 freeze on login after installing Nvidia 5060 laptop GPU. PLEASE 🥺 HELP!

Take safe boot off I take it?

yes boot to 6.14 normal will see how that goes then maybe try the 6.17

baby steps...lol so far the graffics is working not the nvidia one but still better then the software rendering one

Real but now there's a problem in BIOS :joy:


GPU "invalid"

first screen had a selection to use discrete graffics

and secure boot should be disabled it is

Yes, I selected that to force Nvidia. I had to use UMA to get Zorin to boot up. Should I have uninstalled, boot up with Discrete , then boot back in and installed?

hmm thats possible worth a try

show system details as well please

Oh this forum is live! That's based! I don't have to refresh the page after all :joy:. Thank you for helping me through this, btw. My daughter is being very patient. She wants to play Minecraft with me but I'm trying to tell her the laptop is having a hard time setting up and needs my help :joy:

np glad we got it off that other way go have fun

Oh no I meant on this computer she wants to play Minecraft :joy:. I'm still trying to set it up so Nvidia works.


I'm just uploading this to show I forced Nvidia, shows the correct drive selection and still showing software as GPU. I'll boot it once more and if it's not showing up in BIOS again, uninstall and do what I said above


Okay, GeForce is back up on register and I'll try booting in 6.14 and tell you what happens

ok in the bios i saw on left a display settings tab i think thats where you can change it to discrete

oh...well done awsome....does irish jig

Oh it's already on Discrete. So far got to the login and it is on x11 before boot

:+1: no problem

So this time it booted! But . . . It's still saying the software is the GPU
