Re: Loss of lan after memory upgrade (SOLVED)

Stretch installation boots to read only

Hi all; I Just upgraded from jessie to stretch. I needed a piece of software that wasn't available in jessie. Since then, my system boots to a command line prompt. Since /dev/sda1 has been mounted ro, Xwindows doesn't start. I have to log in as root, run mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /, exit

Hi Sasa You sure you want to use wine. I gave up on wine, started using VirtualBox and just loaded an old copy of windows xp into that. This beats wine or a dual boot system. Gary R On 12/17/2015 08:12 AM, Saša Janiška wrote: Hello, few days ago I migrated from openSUSE Tumbleweed
