Stuck in Emergency Mode

Post by gdornick »

Hi,

New Linux user here.
I Installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 32-bits version on my old laptop yesterday.
After running updates I have this problem that I every time I restart the laptop I get a window "Welcome to emergency mode"
The desktop is not Cinnamon anymore. If I do a restart then the laptop get stuck while shutting down. After turning off laptop, I get the same message.
So I am in a loop.
Have been searching on the internet for answers, but I am afraid I got stuck.
Hope you guys can help out how to solve this.

Thanks in advance.
Gaal.

if im reading your outputs correctly, i would say that your 11 year old toshiba 32 bit will no longer be able to handle the cinnamon desktop that is in 18.3 version...i would recommend at this time to actually change over to linux mint 18.3 xfce since it will be much more compatible and lighter on your resources than the current version of cinnamon...you could of course also try other linux distros such as lubuntu, mx17 or my favourite linux for lower powered systems called peppermint 8 32 bit, which is very similar to linux mint...it will have the basics as well as using the mint repositories to download only the programs you want that you are used to in mint...otherwise it will work pretty much the same as what you are already used to...hope this is of help...DAMIEN

Did you update the kernel along with that system update? I'm thinking the 4.13 series is maybe too new for that old laptop. Try loading up the previous kernel; one of the 4.4 iterations would suffice, I imagine.
I'm also Terminalforlife on GitHub.

Thank you both for your reply.
I will give Peppermint OS a go, sounds promising.

Hi
You could also try Antix. It's specifically designed to run on older hardware. I've found it to be excellent on my old Toshib Satellite Pro laptop.
