Mint 14 - failing to start up
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 12:12 pm
Hello, a newbie here...
Been using mint for a month or so without problems. I just installed/uninstalled then apt-get installed the iphone connection libraries and after that everything went tits up..
I rebooted and logged in to a nice message stating that it logged off within 10 secs and told me to check the .xsession-errors file. (Listed below)
I tried going in to recovery mode and every option hangs at "fsck" (I've run this on the LiveCD run against the drive /dev/sda4 or something like that.. and it comes back fine..)
Would someone explain what's going on? Again, I'm a newbie coming from windows so please be kind.
(I just liveCD'ed and mounted my disk and saved off my files, so I feel a bit better now! Worst case is that I'd just rebuild and start over..)
Thank you all...
