CLOSED: Amahi 7 I installed XFCE GUI now system will not start :(

Postby BobCaldwell » Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:53 am

I think I made a big mistake!

I installed the xfce GUI following the instructions here:> ( https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/GUI_In ... press_Disc) and now my system will not start it just sits at the _ prompt and does nothing :(
Is there a way to undo the installation or point to the mulit-user text interface again?
I have access to the files with a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installation on the same machine (different drive).
Or do I need to reinstall Amahi 7?

Any help is welcome,

Thanks,

Bob

You will need to reinstall. There is no undo for something as intrusive as installing Desktop.

BTW, we no longer support Amahi 7. If you must reinstall, Amahi 8 is best.

Great and hope it goes well.

Recommend you stay away from installing a desktop. Not supported in Amahi 8.

Good to know! I am installing Fedora right now and it is ready to reboot!
I'll let you know how it goes!
