MX Linux Forum

ah, so that's why I was having similar issues when i tried mint last year.

it seems to me that if removing read-only in boot params allows the OS to boot, then couldn't I just remove read-only, allow the system to make the changes that makes it boot and make it persistent, then restart (which ...

Forgot to mention here that I could not resolve what the issue was and just proceeded to just re-install. I will mark it as solved with this for now unless told otherwise.

Hi, I'm back. I'm currently on Linux Lite on the problem system(with radeon driver, checked in inxi) as I write this.

I got around to trying again recently and here's what I've done:

- I remembered that I could just use my phone connected through usb to get net access so I proceeded to boot ventoy ...

after looking through the output of dmesg, there's this line close to the end of the file.
[ 8.096157] FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
could this be the reason why? should I try to fix it with fsck.fat?

or should I put the dmesg output ...

I forgot to mention that I don't reach the login screen. the order of the things it displays is MX grub, MX boot gif logo, then the flashing caret. So even if I make a new user with root, I would still be unable to login with that through GUI, only through the tty1. though I did make a new regular ...

I thought it was difficult, I got the problem system QSI now

@j2mcgreg Ah, I meant that I can access the the root acc in the tty1(alt+f1), so it's still not booted. which is why I took a picture of the inxi -Fxz of the screen instead.
I will try getting the output of inxi to a file in the tty1.

Log in to your root acct --> run inxi -Fxxxrza in a terminal --> drag your mouse to select the entirety of the output --> right click in the body of the output and select save --> paste it here (in code tags) in your thread.

Once we have your QSI report in readable form, we can proceed.

I will ...

According to the forum rules (please read): Please provide full Quick System Info, use copy for forum button, no edits, no pictures of it please.

LiveUSB version is OK if needed.


I forgot that the QSI on the live-usb is essentially the same, will edit the post.
Is the inxi pic not needed ...

I'm on 23.5(x64) and my laptop just stopped booting to GUI. After the MX logo, there's only a flashing caret. I think it happened after updating and shutting down, but I don't remember what was in the update. I also could not login with my user acc, only the root acc.
