No GUI after updating -- SOLVED
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:59 pm
Also no network...
So I can't copy and paste the output of anything... Even if I knew how to do it in a command line...
I'm using another computer and Windows to be here.
The problem computer is an Asus eeepc.
It's specifications are:
CPU Intel Atom Z520 @ 1.33GHz 39 °C
Silverthorne 45nm Technology
RAM 2,00 GB (4-5-5-?)
Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1101HA (CPU 1) 53 °C
Graphics Plug and Play Monitor (1366x768@60Hz)
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500
Hard Drives 149GB Hitachi HTS543216L9SA00 (SATA) 33 °C
There were a lot of updates available. Around 1200 packages to download.
After installing about half the updates there was an error saying "mplayer" was not found, or corrupt. (I don't remember exactly what)
Then the update process stopped. I did a refresh and there were still lots of updates to apply.
After a while I got the same error and it stopped again.
Then I did the stupid thing, probably... I rebooted... Thought it needed to "digest" the first lot of updates to be able to get the rest...
Stuck with command line, I'm able to login as a user or as root, and that's it.
No network, no GUI... The starx command gives an error with lots of things I can't understand.
Somewhere it says something about having to use the 2.88 image... I was working fine with Linux 3.0x.
Is there an easy solution? I'm very close to completely clueless in command line usage.
But I can type any set of commands you advice me...
Thanks in advance!
