I had graphics issues after resuming, desktop unresponsive, so I hit Ctrl+Alt+F4 to text terminal and launched drakx11 in order to switch from nouveau to nvidia470. drakx11 operated as expected whilei selected the driver, I answered I wanted the proprietary driver, and I saw it building the kernel module etc, using full width of my screen for progress text output. But when I expect drakx11 was to ask the final questions, the screen just said: Your screen is currently too small for the application. Resize the screen and restart the application. Press <CTRL+C> to exit... Ignore the following Glib::Object::Introspection & Gtk3 warnings Cannot be ** (At ** it goes on and on but i stop typing it out.) Note the interesting line feed between "warnings" and "Cannot" and the long line is broken like that continuously, which is about five line sections for the full width of my screen. So it seems to first run OK, and for later it somehow get wrong information about the width of my screen. I hit Ctrl+C, and got to the # cursor but nothing I type gets displayed. I then typed reboot and enter, and it rebooted. During boot, after entering LUKS pass for the partition for the PV for the LVM LV for my root system, it drops me to rescue mode... I see the root filesystem contain a non-empty orphan, it say. (I will boot on a stick to fix that. Later.) --- Not the first time this hit me but it seem I have forgot to report it as separate bug. This time is first, I think, that it corrupted the filesystem but it also may be the first time i in this situation changed *to* a proprietary driver - i used to use drakx11 in text mode only switch from prop. to free, maybe that it the difference from breaking the filesystem and not.
Whiteboard: (none) => MGA9TOO
Created attachment 14618 [details] For reference: log of fixing the broken filesystem I booted on a USB stick loaded with https://www.system-rescue.org/ to fix the broken root filesystem. Attached is a copy from the console.
After fixing the filesystem per Comment 1, the system booted but did not reach graphical login. I again launched drakx11, this time selecting Xorg modesetting in the nvidia section. That went well, after reboot system seem to operate normally. Operated this way, drakx11 is always displayed and have no problem. So is seem that the problem appear only when it installs proprietary driver, causing other text is output from that process, and when that part is finished, drakx11 crash when it is about to display another dialogue.
Summary: drakx11 crash on "too small screen" (in reality 4K), making root filesystem unmountable => drakx11 crash on "too small screen" (in reality 4K) after preparing kernel module, making root filesystem unmountable
