I know this is common but I just wanted to know if anyone has an idea how to fix it I've tried installation for both NVinject and Natit both seem to yield the same result, here is one of the popular errors I get on kernel boot up
NVDA:: Starting display(1)
NVDA:: Starting display(1): failed
If anyone has a solution involving any manner I would love to know and appreciated any help offered thanks.
