I have seen a 30 % of the boots to have this issue (in my virtualbox test machines), maybe a bug in plymouth ? maybe only with openrc as a cause ? mmh...
Could you share an Elive Trixie ISO with us? To test a fresh installation? Tank you. Have a good day.
There is no stable Trixie based ISO yet, only the --betatest upgrade as an option.
I successfully updated my i7/Nvidia PC from Elive 3.8.52 to Trixie. The first time, I ran into a libc6 error. I reinstalled Elive 3.8.52 and then performed the update again. Everything is fine now.
Hello,
I discovered an error while updating my PC (Asus Prime B550-Plus motherboard, i7, Nvidia 4060). Everything seemed to be working fine, but when I launched games using Wine, I got a black screen on some of them. I started uninstalling and reinstalling the various Nvidia drivers one by one (following this guide: Nvidia Privative Drivers installation ), but nothing changed—the issue persisted. I ran a Heaven benchmark, followed by a vkcube test, confirming a Vulkan-related problem with my Nvidia card. After some thought, I completely reinstalled Mesa; upon rebooting, vkcube worked. And my games work well.
Can you tell me which package(s) you exactly reinstalled ? I will add a forced reinstall of them in the nviida installer.
Also, do you know if your previous mesa packages where in a different version ? (maybe coming from bookworm?)
For those who upgraded, I recommend running this:

First, I installed the Mesa 550 driver using the tutorial linked above, disabling the Nvidia driver in GRUB, and then I followed the recommendations.
Here is the list of my packages; the i386 ones are included. When installing Lutris, a DXVK error occurs. I concluded that the Lutris package wasn't installing the i386 packages. If you don't need them, you can ignore them. The Lutris repository version is no longer maintained; we are prompted to download the new lutris .deb. Download Lutris Oh, another missing package for Lutris: sudo apt install python3-protobuf(lutris
