Hi Brian, I don't mind trying to take a stab at the laptop, if you wanted to bring it to the ABQLUG meeting. Just make sure to bring the charger. I typically run this command to fix broken updates. sudo apt -f install Have you tried that already? Ultimately I would rather move that laptop to Ubuntu 18.04 if possible. Supporting 16.10 doesn't seem like a very good idea. Also, your computer's time is wrong. (I think this is how you would fix it on Ubuntu 16.10) sudo timedatectl set-ntp on Then run this to see if it actually updated the time. timedatectl Regards, Jared On 3/15/18 2:49 PM, BrianO'Keefe wrote:
Hi All,
I ask about a meeting as I could bring my laptop and perhaps get help in resolving the problem of having no dm after updating normally with update manager. Just security updates. Ubuntu 16.10 AMD64. Have tried everything that I can find on web to no avail. In text mode I run "startx" and get a quick splash and returned to text mode and "waiting for xserver to shut down (II) server terminated successfully (0), Closing log file.esetting enabled.xinit: connection to X server lost" Any help? Most certainly appreciated! Brian
