@samegold No-ones going to help until you cooperate with the request. We aren't going to play 20 questions, when we can quickly look at the output of your QSI.samegold wrote: Sun Apr 20, 2025 8:54 ami dont think you could either way, so dont bother. maybe someone else will :-)Eadwine Rose wrote: Sun Apr 20, 2025 8:37 am OK.. it is in the forum rules, if you don't post them we can't help you.
Boot up the live ISO , like you were told to do, and post the QSI from there. It will give us a starting point.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.

soo, are you going to delete all potential answers on the topic or is that just a figure of speech and/or your personal opinion?
please let me know, just in case, so i dont have to waste our time here.
because - no offense - my opinion is, if someone is going to ask 20 questions about my HARDWARE with a problem clearly related to SOFTWARE, then he has no idea what hes talking about and cant help anyone anyway.
i also asked 3 times already if the QSI can read software infos from external SSD/system or just from its own partition - still no answer - instead orders.
communication could be better on this forum IMO. heres a screenshot in case somebody is interested in the actual problem:

Yes. Here is my QSI showing my USB attached NVMe drive that I store data on. It is listed as SDC under Drives:if the QSI can read software infos from external SSD/system

Re: startpar services returned failure: tlp sysstat failed. KDE doesnt start after enabling root account
if i access the home folder of the said installation from another linux PC i get this. its the locked home folder of the described system with the new root user that doesnt start KDE. it doesnt show the size of the folder.
i have the root passwort ofcourse, how can i unlock the home folder permanently, so i can access the files and maybe fix the bootup in the process? i would need to give back permissions to the first user, which is/was configured in KDE autologin and that would fix the KDE starting problem maybe? so basically disable the root account and go back how it was before.
i am using dolphin file manager.

"Yes. Here is my QSI showing my USB attached NVMe drive that I store data on. It is listed as SDC under Drives:"if the QSI can read software infos from external SSD/system
that is not what i asked. it shows HARDWARE infos like vendor name, size, etc. which you can get probably in any OS by right-clicking on the hardware "properties".
SOFTWARE infos are for example: which OS version is installed on the SSD,which kernel, if any? and that is what matters.
thats why i asked:
"if the live session is running from an usb stick, how should i read out the software that is installed on the SSD that doesnt boot? wouldnt the live-usb show the software versions of the live-system?"
so im trying to explain this for the fifth time now and i dont know how to be any clearer, thanks for your reply though.
