Hi,

After successful installation, first boot of Qubes.
Boot screen and after that grub menu text is visible.
Then blinking cursor, and then a black screen.
Something wrong with X?

Or something needs change in BIOS?

thnx!

I have similar issue on XPS.
The graphics should work (for me) if you (have and) run older kernel in option.
But you can press for example "PageUp" key and enter password.
(For me it works)

is it a dell xps 15 9950 , the newest edition?

if yes does your network card get detected by qubes 3.1 and work properly?

do you have any issues with a 4k display?

No it's a rather old machine. 5 years old. I don't own a 4k display.
But I see the cursor blinking and than the screen goes black. I think
one can call it "warm black". (as read in the discussions over here).
