[BLABBING]
So was very proud of myself, 20 years ■■■■■■■ around with windows both professionally and personal use, finally took the plunge into Linux and i freaking love it! After “Bash-ing” like a madman and at end of the 2nd day, got everything running smooth, even tested some Linux games from steam, had Kodi set up… the lot right. So I wake up and think to myself “Right, everything looks stable, so lets do your first post on the forums and get the wee niggly problems posted up and see if anyone can help me solve them.” e.g. my laptop has a backlit keyboard and wasnt working. Hopefully my next post
[ISSUE]
I decided to install CPU-Z from a .deb file to get more system info for making my first post, but instead my distribution has ceased to function(Go figure) and will not go further than the LOAD SCREEN… It was advised by the “new to the forum” recommendations @ linux.org.
[WHAT IVE TRIED]
using the GRUB [recovery] option to UPDATE GRUB, FILESYSTEM CHECK, FILESYSTEM REPAIR.
[FOUND] - some RED and YELLOW flags on the REPAIR/CHECK which showed Dependency issues and swapfile.swap errors
[WHAT I THINK]
I was prompted when installing CPU-Z that there were missing dependencies and do I want to download & installed them, I did. Now the logs/recovery module are pointing to those dependencies(Python3 I think). As to the purpose or working order of the swapfile, I am uncertain. I think if there is a way or rolling back the changes then ■■■■ yeah, but from just browsing the forums its not that easy right? haha
As always, any ideas and advice is appreciated. I’d post up the bash logs or install logs but i dont know where to find them
