MX Linux Forum

Hi, since applying the latest updates on MX21 about a week ago, I am stuck in a login loop - password accepted, screen darkens briefly, then returned to login prompt.

I have booted from a live distro, and seem to have plenty of disk space.

Can anyone point me at a troubleshooting sequence for this?

OK, understand now. The documentation's statement "a handy way to manage disks without writing directly to the file (/etc/fstab)" is highly ambiguous, and I took it the WRONG way.
Also found out the hard way how fstab can screw up the booting process!

OK I found it I think:
- Go to Board Index
- Open the Board of interest
- Click New Topic button
- Scroll to bottom of message box and click Load Draft button

I was confronted with this boot failure when I brought my laptop home this afternoon. After a lot of faffing around I realised the following:
- when I had last shutdown, there was a Sandisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD connected to the USB-C port
- MX21 had automatically added an entry in /etc/fstab ...

Thanks, found my draft message too - well hidden!
Made my changes, saved it again, then... how do I submit it? Am I missing something?
