How are you rebooting to runlevel 3?

Powering down and back up.


I ran nvidia-switch --remove

I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy390-driver ...
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy390-kernel ...
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy340-driver ...
I ran slackpkg remove nvidia-legacy340-kernel ...
All four completed, although the 390 kernel complained that some files
were in use. I assume they were also there as part of the 340 package.

I deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and a few backups with that name included.

I deleted the nouveau blacklist file from /etc/modprobe.d

Then I rebooted, or at least tried to.

I watched as the system shut itself down. But when I started it back up,
I saw a little graphic in the upper left corner of my DVI monitor blink
between Analog and Digital a few times, and then stop. No response to
the keyboard. When trying to ssh in, I got the message:

dick@ENU-1:~$ ssh [email protected]
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.134 port 22: No route to host
Make sure your host really is at 192.168.0.134. That looks like a DHCP
address, so it can change unless you configured it specifically not to on your
router.

I have that set in the router.


I can still boot from the install USB stick, which is what I expect I'll
need to do next.

Recommendations on what else to do next?
I really want to know what you mean by "rebooted to runlevel 3". What is
inittab currently set to?


You had me set inittab to 3 several threads ago and said I should leave it there until things work right.

- reinstall the base distribution packages that were overwritten
slackpkg reinstall xorg-server libdrm mesa

I also did that before powering down the last time.
