Using sys-whonix as UpdateVM to download updates for Dom0; this may take some time...

Package kernel-latest-1000:5.16.18-2.fc32.qubes.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!Very confusing.
I don’t know why it doesn’t work.
You can try to remove the kernel-latest with:
sudo dnf remove kernel-latest
And then try to install it from current-testing again:
sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing kernel-latest
Do I need to reboot or anything? That’s gonna add 30 minutes to this process. I’m current in 5.10 which is barely usable.
You don’t need to reboot.
That unclogged something. I shouldn’t need to manually update grub or anything? Just want to make sure I cover my bases before I try to boot into 5.17.
No need to update grub manually.
Ok. So, 5.17.7-1 boots into a blank screen on primary monitor, and no signal on second monitor (just like 5.16 did). The alternate TTY lines are not usable as there is no text output to the primary monitor.
I have booted back into 5.10 and my UI is much more responsive. Still hangs when switching windows. My secondary monitor is still dead. Unable to set resolution or refresh rate of my primary monitor and locked to 1080p@77hz. Disconnecting secondary monitor has zero affect. Uninstalling 5.16 definitely resolved some problem(s).
Do you remember the kernel version that worked for you then?
Maybe you can try to install the old kernel-latest version that worked for you.
Here are all available kernel-latest packages for stable updates:

You can install them like this:
sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest-1000:5.15.14-1.fc32.qubes.x86_64
Just change the 5.15.14-1.fc32.qubes.x86_64 part and check all of them one by one.
I’ve spent a lot of time on trial and error already. I’m about at my limit for wanting to continue trying at all. I was on 5.10.112, just like I am now. Nothing changed except there was a update available for dom0. Ever since, my system has been useless.
Is there anything I can do to pinpoint what the problem actually is? I’m obviously failing to understand the docs or which docs I need to read. Repeating actions is only making me more angry.
Oh, and I can boot into Ubuntu LiveCD, multi-monitor, no issues, even have HDR working. Win11, no issues. Qubes 4.1 kernel 5.10.112 before 05-24-2022, MOSTLY functional, learning how to customize UIs. Even managed to get KDE Plasma installed and running.
I know my hardware is not broken. There must be a config file that’s got some bad bits in it somewhere or my IQ is just too low.
Maybe try this one:
First thing I tried actually thinking it was related to video ram.
Have you generated the xorg.conf?
You need to use the nouveau driver.
First thing I’d try to determine if it’s a problem with NVIDIA or with something else. If Qubes will work fine for you with integrated GPU then it’s a problem with NVIDIA and you can search for solution in that direction.
Either remove NVIDIA from your PC physically or hide it from Qubes by adding rd.qubes.hide_pci option to the grub linux cmdline.
Here is an example how to hide GPU from dom0:
But for a test it’s better to add this option in GRUB boot menu for just single boot:
Little embarassing, i7-12700KF does not have iGPU. My motherboard supports it though, so something to consider in the future.
Below is a sample of my Xorg log, which appears to load the Nouveau driver when I boot into 5.10.112. If I boot into 5.17.7-1, I can type in my disk encryption password and hit enter. I see the HDD LED go nuts and fans spin up a bit as if booting normally.
Assuming the system is working, is there a log that would capture the problem at this point and where would I find it after rebooting into 5.10.112?

You can look for errors in journalctl.
New boot drive, new RAM. (Had it on hand anyways).
I can install Qubes 4.1 ( wonderful slideshow that has far too many screen updates for nothing going on)
I get fedora-35 installed, dom0 updated to 5.16.18. Everything is fine (even playing 1440p@60fps Youtube videos)… until I turn on my second monitor. If I boot with my second monitor on, or if it turn it on at all after logged in, it crashes. Don’t matter which order, whichever the 2nd monitor is, as soon as I turn it on, primary video goes away (still backlit) and 2nd monitor eventually goes into power save.
I try killing lightdm, sudo X -configure, and get erros because the number of monitors it detected doesn’t match some config file that doesn’t exist?!?! WHY ARE YOU SO STUBBORN! The log from when I crash just shows a repeating pattern of all the Modelines available on my monitor. No error, nothing useful that I can find.
I’m done. I can’t get it to work. I don’t know what is broken. This must be a single monitor OS.
I have 3 monitors connected to my nvidia 1060 running the nouveau driver. The older and better supported hardware just seem like the way to go in most cases.
Were you able to resolve the ssue? If so was it related to Direct Rendering Management (DRM) and Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) - DRI3?
