Hello Ed,
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried with LightDM, which gave the same black screen,
with the following in /var/log/messages, not sure why it's trying to talk to
PulseAudio?
I prefer to use "journalctl" to extract log information.
Have a look at
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/7iRJ5adKn4W6SSCyAKs~OQ.
These outputs were generated just after the system was booted with a user that logged
in via ssh. So, no attempt was made to start a GUI.
I think you should do the same and see if there is any thing that pops out.
Googling suggested a few different things to try, nothing seemed to work in this
case, but for reference:
sudo rm -fr /var/lib/sddm/.cache/sddm-greeter/qmlcache
Tried both Breeze themes, then installed sddm-theme and tried one of those.
Tried with a monitor plugged into the HDMI port
There does appear to be a block of text flashing up just before the screen goes
blank, it's an ACPI error or two I think, but it flashes by and I can't find it
in
the logs.
I normally see a few ACPI message pop up on boot as well. I've never known them to
be a source of problems
