SOLVED I can't get a good nvidia driver or get MX 23 live to boot? [Solved]

I tried many internal MX settings adn looked deep in the video options in the TV, no success, ....yet...

Re: SOLVED -Libreoffice stopped working!?!!?

Eadwine Rose, I did a quick check when trouble-shooting, I looked at top, and did not see LO hogging a processor or much RAM, so I didn't think of it as you did. Yes, the ps command would have showed the many documents (processes?) open, and would have shown the need for killall. I use kill at least...

Re: Libreoffice stopped working!?!!?

Eadwine Rose, Wow, that was a good hunch ! As soon as I ran that command, dozens of office documents opened up (maybe all of them from weeks?), then when I closed them, I was able to open LibreOffice and LO documents normally. So, something got stuck, and killall does its job ! Thanks for the ideas.

Re: Libreoffice stopped working!?!!?

Eadwine Rose,

If I do this in the terminal

Code: Select all

 libreoffice --write
Same result, a black terminal, no messages, no prompt. Interestingly when I close the tab in the terminal, it says there is still a process running which will be terminated.

Re: Libreoffice stopped working!?!!?

MX Robo,

Yup, I tried that first

Code: Select all

libreoffice --writer %U
Then I tried the other command, both do not return in the terminal.
No cursor, just a black terminal.

I can try the Cleanup....

Re: Libreoffice stopped working!?!!?

Thanks Eadwine,

I ran the command from the terminal, it never returns with an error, just a blank terminal.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/libreoffice

SOLVED -Libreoffice stopped working!?!!?

LO has been working fine for months since the MX 21.3 was installed on my wife's machine. Yesterday I ran a bunch of synaptic upgrades, no no launching of LO for any documents or spreadsheets I try to open. What is the terminal command to launch LO so I can see if there are any messages? I tried in ...

Re: rdrand bad, so can't run mx-snapshot tool

I made the snapshot, and I used MX live USB creator tool, to burn the 3 Gig ISO to a 4G stick, but the burned USB (used for earlier MX-23 installs) will not boot, it goes part wayand leaves a black screen with a blinking cursor. No keyboard response. Any ideas how to boot a snapshotted ISO? Some spe...
