I think the mount command didn't go through correctly, because it dumped the param list. But I ran the enable networking option in the menu, which I know remounts the filesystem in read/write mode...
Yeah, I tried running an update/upgrade yesterday, just in case there was something it had failed to grab the first time around. It told me there were no packages with updates available.
Here's what startx does. First it spits out the parameter list, and then after a few seconds...
Well now we might be getting somewhere: typing kwin at the shell prompt gets me
That might just be because X isn't running, though, or because the graphics driver needs to be started first or...
Hang on. Were you under the impression that my GUI was functional? Because it's not; Kubuntu's recovery mode is ANSI-only (although oddly enough, it comes up with a custom font and a resolution that...
Kubuntu 12.04 x64. Other than the video driver, everything was vanilla before the attempted update.
And I don't know my way around the terminal nearly well enough to copy the output of a command...
lshw -C display yields:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga spat out
(Man did that take a long time to type up on a tablet.)
It does not. It too freezes during the boot-progress screen.
No dice. I select "resume normal boot" and after the text scroll I just get a blank screen.
Nothing.
Is it possible the graphics driver is messed up? I'm using a relatively new AMD legacy driver that I had to install manually with the "force" parameter on because the standard methods of...
Oh hey, the menu did come right back.
Well, after trying the package restore again, I now have a system that boots with a text-mode version of the gray Kubuntu boot screen and goes to black when...
It completed. I had interrupted it in the middle of downloading, not unpacking/installing.
But then the system tray prompted me to restart the computer, so I did. And then it froze in the middle...
I accidentally closed terminal in the middle of an apt-get upgrade; am I screwed?
I was told that in order to update a part of Steam that its auto-updater couldn't handle, I should run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade". Well, I did, not realizing that the latter...
The driver setup program is telling me that fglrx was detected on my system. Do I need to reboot or something?
No, there were hard drives already in there. I finally figured out how to open the little buggers up and check. *edits OP accordingly* Sorry about the confusion.
Well, that's just the problem: the installer needs to be able to run, period, in order to do that. Neither one will get past the BusyBox screen.
Either way, both computers should have the right...
7.10 iMac G3 boot freeze
I recently was given a pair of iMac G3½'s, as I like to call them (the cobalt blue slot-loading kind) with the hard drives wiped. I decided to take the opportunity to try out Linux on a Mac....
