cannot run Mx clone su user

#1 Post by fkam18 »

Hi
I SSH into my box as root, su - user, startx, and Mx Create Live USB etc says cannot run in root.

Sorry reason for that is because hdmi screen is blank no logon prompt so have to remote.

Also kind of difficult to get the system config.

No idea why hdmi does not show screen after a long while screen unplugged .

Appreciate any hints

With all help requests, as per forum rules (which, if you haven't, please read), please share your full Quick System Info, do not edit.
If need be, you can do this using the LiveUSB, thanks.

Never ssh as root, ssh to the box as regular user, it still won't work unless I guess you forward X with -X or -Y.

Wonder if there's a way to get Quick System Info in command line?
I can't bring that box down conveniently and reboot with LiveUSB unfortunately.

Maybe this on CLI:

Code: Select all

quick-system-info-mx -g | curl -s -F "content=<-" https://dpaste.com/api/v2/
which creates a dpaste url like this https://dpaste.com/7J69CGZ6R, which expires in 7 days.
You can copy/paste from dpaste and post here as code-block, means wrapped between code-block marker like [code]this here[/code]
