-I am having this issue on both Ubuntu and Fedora distributions.
-I am currently running Fedora 37. After I installed the NVIDIA drivers (v 525.89.02) to use instead of nouveau, when I boot my computer, it passes the GRUB menu and then shows a black screen where I would typically see a splash screen with a password prompt to decrypt my hard drive.
-I can type my decryption password and press Enter and a few seconds later, I will see the splash screen that shows after a successful password entry. The system then boots normally to the login prompt.
-If I reboot instead of booting “cold”, the password prompt screen will show.
I suspect this is a fedora 37 specific kernel bug.
Since you have an optimus system, the internal screen is driven by the intel igpu, the nvidia gpu should have no influence on this.
Furthermore, the nvidia driver doesn’t get embedded into the initrd so only loads when you unlock your system (after 110s in the log).
Another user had a similar issue and found out he only got a console when removing both
nvidia-drm.modeset=1 initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init
from kernel cmdline.
Please check and possibly report a bug with fedora.
While I was looking for a solution for my problem, I also found a lot of issues regarding LUKS encryption. Mostly it as possible to just enter you password, even if the dialog is not shown.
In case this does not work, try to remove
Thanks for the suggestion, however that did not work. Perhaps what generix was saying is true and the NVIDIA drivers do not have anything to do with this.
Attached is my bootlog after doing what was suggested. boot.txt (103.9 KB)
