Why Am I Stuck on TTY After Switching Back to Gnome?
Asked by
CuriousCat123
I'm a new Linux user and I recently switched back to Gnome on Ubuntu after using KDE for a bit. Upon rebooting, I was greeted by a lock screen that showed a mobile keyboard. We disabled sddm and enabled gdm, but now I'm just stuck on a TTY screen and I'm not sure what steps to take next to resolve this issue.

You might want to try running this command: "XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session". It could help start the Gnome session manually and get you back to your desktop.
