[Trisquel-users] Kernel panic

2019-01-19 Thread Caleb Herbert
I just came back to my desk after a few hours and my laptop would not wake up.  The caps lock indicator was blinking.  I assumed this was a kernel panic. But why? cal@flexo:~$ cat /var/log/syslog Jan 20 01:35:41 flexo rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="8.16.0" x-pid="918"

Thanks. I have never tried to build from source before so let this be my first try. I already had a beginners problem: According to the guide the first steps are git clone https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher.git cd torbrowser-launcher but there is no torbrowser-launcher folder

I tried to install the greeter but it said that I already have the latest version. I looked around online but nothing is working so far. I will keep looking around and hopefully get my computer working again. Thank you so much for the help.

By the way, I am now considering using a JBOD volume to save a lot of data for cheap. My thinking is I can afford to lose some data because I have multiple snapshot of a lot of data, so if one drive fails one day, I can just replace it with a new one and my backup program can just figure out

Thanks. Can I use the Trisquelize script with any existing Ubunto to Trisquel version? Since I don't know any better, I have always installed Ubuntu 14.04 and run the trisquelize script from that version. Can I install Ubuntu 16.04 and run Trisquelize to get Trisquel 8? I'm also considering

You can get a root terminal using 'chroot' from another (installed or live) system. Here is (too) comprehensive information on how to do so and then reinstall GRUB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot Instructions 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are certainly enough. In fact

I just installed Trisquel Mini on a laptop with sda1 as "/", sda6 as "/home", and sda5 as swap. I intended to leave /home as is. I actually did this twice; the first time I installed I didn't partition "/". When booting, I got the Mageia grub page as before the install. So I installed

Searching the Web for "lightdm.service: Failed with result 'start-limit-hit'" returns similar problems. The configuration of LightDM seems faulty in all cases. For information, I only have one file "users.conf" and an empty "lightdm.conf.d" directory in /etc/lightdm: $ ls /etc/lightdm/*

It says "lightdm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'" and "lightdm.service: Failed with result 'start-limit-hit'". It also says some other things but I do not know if they are related. I attached some photos of the screen. I am sorry for asking so many questions. I really appreciate

Reinstalling Trisquel (and all the packages you added on top of the default system) would certainly solve the problem... but it would be more instructive to fix it. LightDM is the responsible for displaying the screen where you can graphically log in the system. So we already knew it fails

Thank you! I was able to save my data with a live USB just by right clicking and open the folder as an admin so it probably wasn't encrypted. I checked "journalctl" and didn't really know what I was looking for but I read through it and it said that lightdm failed to start. I checked online
