Initially everything worked as expected, it updated without a hitch. I was making my usual configuration changes, rebooted and now it stops just before the login screen. blank with just "Can not open font file True" At this point I could reinstall but would lose an hours work and the bandwidth required for the update. In rescue or whatever it's called I can see that the last change I made has no typos, [10-evdev.conf to fix the copy paste problem]. Any idea what I can do next? Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box9Sounds like X won't start. Two ideas: 1. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log 2. If you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf then rename it and reboot.
Ok, that helped. I was surprised to find that I did have an error in my typing, had to use "vi" to fix and that is always a challenge for me. Still got the same error message. Then renamed/removed /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and now I have a normal login gui but no cursor/mouse or keyboard inputs? Also can not ssh into box7 from this computer, box9, "no route." Is there a way to cause a text boot instead of the gui? If I could get past that things might work?
