To the point where even CTRL-ALT-F1 does nothing, or sometimes it does take me to the virtual terminal, and I can enter my username, but it times out before it can even prompt me for a password.ġ) Is there any way to fix the software running behind the angry red button so that it pops up its error messages in a proper dialogue box, which can be cut'n'pasted in a forum post?Ģ) Will the latest bunch of updates restore the stability of my OS? Do I need to do anything other than run apt-get autoremove and apt-get dist-upgrade?ģ) Is Trisquel 7 main just too heavy now for my 5 year old "netbook" hardware (1GB RAM, 1.6 GHZ)? Would switching to Trisquel Mini help? Would using a "lighter" desktop system than GNOME help? My system has been *very* unstable recently, with the OS completely hanging after a few hours of work, almost every time I use it. Linux-headers-lowlatency linux-image-lowlatency linux-lowlatency The following packages have been kept back: Libseccomp2 tor tor-geoipdb torsocks xul-ext-torproxy The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: It happened that I was running apt-get update and upgrade in a terminal when I noticed the red button, so maybe that's something to do with why it's disappeared? The terminal update seemed to run nomally, no errors, just some surplus packages and some held back: So I'm sorry, I can't tell you exactly what the error message said. It wouldn't let me copy'n'paste it, and when I opened GEdit and tried to type it in manually, the menu closed every time I clicked on the GEdit window. There was an error message at the top of the menu, something about "unmet dependencies". So I'm assuming from that, and the other menu items ("install update" etc), that it was associated with the software update system.
When I left-clicked on it, it opened a little pop-up menu, which had an open "open preferences" option that opened the "software sources" applet. Where to start?Īn angry red button just popped up on my taskbar. I appreciate what your work, and your ethical commitment, I really do. I know most everyone involved in developing software for GNU/Linux is doing their best, and that most of them are unpaid. I apologise if any part of this posting comes across as grumpy or ungrateful.
