I have a HP 15-ec0042ax Pavilion Gaming Laptop with the following hardware:
1.AMD Ryzen 5-3550H
2.GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
3.GPU 1: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
Windows 10 came pre-installed and works fine.I dual booted Debian 10 along with it.The installation was done smoothly.But I can't reach the login screen and it gets stuck on a black screen with the cursor blinking. I tried to switch off the Nvidia graphics using the following:
nomodeset
nouveau.noaccel=1
noapic noacpi nosplash irqpoll
noapic noacpi irqpoll
nouveau.modeset=0
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
None of these above codes were able to fix it.How do I get this up running?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I re-installed a non-free version.There was no blank page this time.Instead the command line opened straight away.I went ahead and installed the "nvidia-driver" package using backports.It got installed without any issues.When I rebooted hoping for the GUI, the command line opened instead.So I tried to install the ''nvidia-driver" package again.As expected it said the "nvidia-driver" is the latest version and nothing had to be downloaded.When I run the "nvidia-detect" command, Nvidia GPU is detected and I'm told "Your card is supported by the default drivers.It is recommended to install the nvidia-driver". This OS works perfectly fine on the virtual machine.
