I swear I didn't do anything
 
So it all started yesterday when I accidentally messed up my fstab trying to add my second drive for storage. Through the help of many I was able to fix the problem. It was then that I vowed that I wouldn't break anything else, that vow went on for about 6 hours until this morning I woke my PC up from boot and was greeted with this wonder lock screen background! *sarcasm My only option when this happens is to reboot and it happens every time I put my PC in sleep mode/suspend. The first time I got a problem reporting notification that xorg crashed, the second gnome shell crashed, the third I got nothing. Help?Here is what my screen looks like

Alright, now come on, tell us exactly what you did after "6 hours until this morning"? :p

(seriously, because that image looks like a crash of some sort - maybe graphics driver related or similar?)

I'm assuming that xorg is my graphics driver so that might be the culprit, I didnt' do anything honestly I watched a couple youtube videos and went to sleep. I then woke up and woke up my PC from sleep and it was like that, I rebooted and it was fine then put it back to sleep to test it. And when I woke it back up it happened again.

What kind of video card do you have? I have seen stuff like that with some of the older X drivers.

AMD Radeon HD 7970 I am also on a 1080p 144hz monitor if that means anything

Now come on, are you really sure about that?

Because if it was working before, something has happened since. Did you change anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

Does that file exist?

It might be incorrect vertical/horizontal refresh rate settings in that same file. Just a guess at this point, but I have seen that same thing happen when that's been true.

Are the proprietary drivers an option for you? or do you already have them installed?

That folder exists and I really can't think of anything that I did all I did before this was adjust fstab because my system wouldn't boot then this happened.

I prefer open source but I'm not like anti proprietary

idk what its like with a radeon, i have never had one, but the open source nvidia driver doesnt hold up well compared to the nvidia provided linux driver. If it were me my next step would be to install the amd driver.

I doesn't say anywhere on that page that the drivers support Fedora only Ubuntu, Debian, and RHEL. Idk if the RHEL would work but it says distrobutions supported and it doesn't speak of Fedora, is there any way I could make sure the open source ones are up to date or maybe reinstall them? I did sudo dnf update.

If you dont want to install the proprietary driver, like others have said you need to take a look at your xconfig. Sorry i cant be more help.

You might want to post the following:

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
The above will tell you which driver your system is currently using. Run the above command in a terminal and use CODE tags when you post the results of it.

Then post the results of the following file:

Code:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Once again in CODE tags.
