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

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

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

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?

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.

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.
