black screen when loading

[Anonymous]

Installed antiX on the dev/sda1 ext3 partition. When enabled in the menu, GRUB tried the first and second items, but in both cases a black screen was displayed. When I pressed the computer shutdown button, for a short moment the screen with the console for entering the login, and then the computer turned off.

Try to change splasht entry in boot parameter line to
splash=v

or remove the word splash completely from the line while starting.

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

1. What version of antiX? For example “antiX 19.4 base x64 runit with 4.19 kernel”. We need to know the antiX edition you installed.
2. With installed, you mean that you already booted with Live USB/DVD before installation and it booted and worked OK? Was this installation on the same computer as the one you are trying to boot?

3. So, you arrive at Grub, which installed properly. Or is this the GRUB menu from a different distro also installed on the same system?

4. What are the specs on your computer? This may be important. If you could post the inxi -Fxz output that you see on antiX Live USB/DVD, it may help.
5. If while on the black screen you press the keys Control+Alt+F1, do you see the terminal? And if you Control+Alt+F7 can you get back to a log-i window?

I think this could be related to a graphical driver, but because we don’t know enough about the antiX version, your experience in Live and the computer hardware, it is very difficult to find a possible solution.

When you have time, please provide a bit of info, even if you cannot answer all questions, at least we can start with something more concrete.

If possible, run this in the terminal (after logging in as your username):
inxi -Gxxx
What I am more interested is in the driver information. For example, on my system:

$ inxi -Gxxx
Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics 
  vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 
  chip ID: 8086:0166 
  Device-2: NVIDIA GF108M [GeForce GT 620M/630M/635M/640M LE] 
  vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: N/A bus ID: 01:00.0 
  chip ID: 10de:0de9 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 driver: modesetting 
  unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1366x768~60Hz 
  OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2) 
  v: 4.2 Mesa 20.3.4 compat-v: 3.0 direct render: Yes

What I want is the driver information for the device and for xorg. In your system it is probably something like:
Device: NVIDIA N520 [GeForce GT 520/XXXX] vendor: MSI driver: nouveau
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 driver: nouveau

I suspect that driver=vesa or something worse (none)

EDIT:
Now that you are in terminal, edit slim to set autologin just to see if the problem happens only in SLIM or even in a logged-in system:
sudo nano /etc/slim.conf
And change the lines with:

auto_login          yes
default_user        user

where user is where you write your username (if not already there).
Control+O to save, COntrol+X to exit nano.
Then you reboot and see what happens.

Device: AMD Pitcairn XT [Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition] driver: N/A
If you load the radeon driver
sudo modprobe radeon
See if Control+Alt+F6 or F7
starts slim. If it doesn’t, do from Terminal
sudo slim
or
sudo startx

If it finally boots add the radeon module to file the /etc/modules

# start radeon driver
radeon

So that the radeon module loads at boot time.

It is strange it isn’t starting automatically. Does anyone have an idea why?

it turned out to run:
sudo startx

I write in the terminal:
sudo modprobe radeon

terminal:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘radeon’: invalid argument

added lines
# start radeon driver
radeon

the problem remained

There is either a different kernel on your system or antiX 19.3 didn’t install properly (or the ISO was corrupted).
See this, that proves that the radeon module is already there in the antiX kernel for antiX 19.3 base

I recommend you install again, this time using antiX 19.4 and maybe even the edition with kernel 4.19. Also, before installing, check what graphic driver it uses on LIVE, so we can try match it again if there is any graphical problem again on the installed system

I recorded version 19.4 on a flash drive and started the computer, then the download stopped at the line ” start X”,

then I restarted the system with the splash=v parameter, the result was the same: the boot stopped at the “start X” line, then ( after a couple of minutes ) the yellow dots and the “start X” line disappeared.

I write in the terminal:
sudo startx

then

inxi -Gxxx
the terminal writes: ibb.co/VwdmsvN
