Hi rocky7x -- thank you!
No i've not made any changes to the graphics driver for some weeks, & this boot bug only began a few days ago. It's still the same Nvidia 367.57 driver. Equally i promise you i've not touched the X server settings [as i would not know how to].
Re the nomodeset matter, whilst i would be happy to go ahead & remove it again to troubleshoot the current bug, i'd like to point out that it was inserted on 22 October but [again] this boot bug only began a few days ago. Additionally, that edit was done specifically because of https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....9#pid39939 ... ie, unless you can tell me an alternative method, removing this will revert me to once again being unable to reach TTY from Plasmashell, which whilst i admit i rarely need to do, i still feel it would be a pity to lose that possibility.
If i do your CLI command to reset the configuration of the X server, will that cause any other settings of mine to alter [am asking coz this is an unfamiliar area for me, & i'm loathe to cause collateral damage if at all possible]? After running it, i'd obviously need to reboot to see if anything changed, but is this a permanent setting that survives reboots [very dumb question, i suspect]?
