Re-loaded/Updated packages and now no access to Sabayon

[Tony-photoplus]

I have a cheap camera as thats is all I can afford, its only a Fuji Finepix5600. When you can't work its frustrating when you have a desire so great that the goal is to far for you to reach. So I have to make do with what I have and make the most of it ..

And the forum I help run is

And the bad news is, we are back to the dreaded grey background and large login. So I think its time to call it a day and forget about Linux for some while. Very sad, but I have wasted so much time in the last 4 months it cost me as well, so I shall unfortunately have to keep to Windows.

Thanks for the help

Tony, I added ya as a contact on flickr

I use a canon rebel xt

As far as struggles with linux, have you tried ubuntu? You just need to find the distro for you.

I have tried many and Ubuntu was one I have tried several times and each time that failed. The closest I had that worked without a problem was MEPIS and that problem was sound. We could not resolve the problem with the sound. There are three great support forums I have found doing this and that is here, Mepis and Mandriva, all great help. The others when you had a continuous problem just stopped replying. They didn't want to know and the worst two were Mint and Ubuntu and Kubuntu wasn't far behind. Gnome is like working with a GUI I was using 10years ago, so always looking for KDE. Ubuntu, its design looks as if someone has defecated over your screen

Thank you, your help was appreciated

Just out of curiosity what sort of video card do you have in the system that you seem to be having all these problems

You have listed most of your hardware but not what type of video card

Yes I agree the 9400 GT shouldn't be a problem, just all the problems you are having is making it very interesting

I am going to buy some new hardware when I get down to Melbourne later on in the week, I've been thinking of getting a 9400 GT card for my backup system (this doesn't help you with your problems)

To bad we live in different parts of the world, as I would like to see what is going on with your system

Do you have another computer to see if you can create the same problems?

Good work on your photo stream

Don't give up

I don't have any more computers, but if you like I can retrieve any logs/files that might show the sequence of booting etc if I can.

Thanks for the comments on the pics

Tony

[joeoden]

Yes might give us some idea of what is going on
You can do this by typing in konsole (terminal):
su
Password: type in your password
sabutil menu

In the Menu that appears type the numbers 01 to 09 (the View and AutoPaste: section) for example to Pastebin Xorg.0.log you would just type
01

Don't forget to note the file name of the Pastebin for each entry
When you have finished just type 0 to exit sabutil menu

sabutil is installed on my system and I didn't install it, so it must be installed as one of the default programs

For more info about sabutil click on "Howto Gather Log Files Easily - Help Us to Help You" in the Announcements section at the top of the page or just click on

Ok, have a problem with that I can't access Sabayon. I can only access the login and then yes something like a terminal appears, I can then access the stuff. But, there is no way to copy it or email it here. I can access it by using the disk, but the terminal would only access the disk info, wouldn't it?
