System fails to boot into DE [Solved]

[Huckleberry Finn]

For now just "Shift+Delete" them (in "root Thunar") , then:

Code: Select all

echo 'maxsize 5M' | sudo tee -a /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog

Also add in "MX Boot Options" - "Kernel Parameters" box (and "Apply"):

Code: Select all

pci=nomsi,noaer

Reboot.


If still not, add:

Code: Select all

pcie_aspm=off

Reboot.

Sorry for the late reply! I really appreciate all the help, things are working now. I can boot just fine (I miss the splash screen, but that's oh so minor).

Thanks everyone!!

So glad to hear it worked. Thank you, too for the feedback and for marking the thread :)

P.S. If you pasted the parameters instead of the existing ones (rather than adding) that's normal. You can do it like (or check whether it's so) : quiet splash pci=nomsi,noaer

Ah, I'll try that!

Unfortunately, just the other day I had a similar issue. I didn't have any issues in logging into the DE, but my root directory was full again. And, again, the culprit was the syslog and kern.log files. They seem to be populated with the same set of lines again. So, it's getting hung up on something; looks like pulse audio? I was able to delete the logs again, and I've implemented the last line you suggested: pcie_aspm=off

I'm also having a new, unrelated issue, so I'll start another thread for that.

Remove the comma after splash (replace it with a space) in your boot parameters (saw the current one in your other thread..) .. that might be preventing it take effect, since no such parameter: splash,pci
