Created attachment 902435 [details] GDM error log I did a full reinstall which solved a lot of problems, but on gdm I am now getting a black screen with flashing cursor. When on this screen I can go into another TTY and login as the user, then launch gnome with: MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session Gnome starts flawlessly with everything working. Hardware: 7950x 128GB RAM AMD iGPU (7950x) primary - display connected. 2080ti nvidia dGPU - no display connected. Software: ~amd64, GCC 13. Error log attached.

Sorry! I just tossed it into gnomes text editor and saved it. I'll use nano or something in the future. I'm in the process of reinstalling again (third time is the charm, right?). Maybe that will fix it? But uh, I've had nothing but problems with gentoos gdm implementation for like the last year or two. I generally use gentoo for a couple months and take a long break. I have never been able to get wayland to work with gnomes gdm when a nvidia card is involved, for example. I could tinker around with the rules file and sometimes get it to work, but it always broke again on the next update (iirc). The actual gnome software is solid though, its just gdm that gives me headaches.
as an update, a fresh install does fix it. It promptly breaks and goes back to black screen + cursor after: 1) installing cuda 2) enabling pipewire/wireplumber and disabling pulseaudio 3) installing steam
