@joekamprad said in Unable to create working install:

What is your GPU card then?

Nvidia 8600 GT

@joekamprad New Hardware is new Mobo, CPU, and RAM. all Storage is moved over from old system (Except a new NVME which new mobo supports).

ZFS is known to me. i’ve been using it for about 2 years now.

failing lightDM likely a graphic issue, so i need to chroot in and reinstall nvidia drivers.

Just did a new install on new hardware, and am unable to create a working install that gets me to a desktop. It’s a ZFS install (tried with ext4) as well and same problem).

Currently unable to get to a desktop.

First thing that pops up is ZFS modules unable to load. After that it tries to load LightDM multiple times failing each time. Next it continues loading as usual then starts doing 2 at once (update man-db database & update locate database).

Six minutes later when all that finishes, screen clears with just blinking cursor in upper left corner of display.

forcing all deps to be reinstalled for deluge worked

that’s spooky, but ok.

ufw doesn’t install it’s binary at /sbin folder but at /usr (i guess an old version did since i have it at both /sbin and /usr) .

Is there a ufw binary at /usr/bin?
check with:
ls /usr/bin |grep ufw

if so, you can simlynk the file (which is a very bad solution but i don’t know what’s going on here)
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ufw /usr/sbin/ufw

OR you can simply run ufw with:
/usr/bin/ufw

/usr/bin/ufw contains

gufw
gufw-pkexec
ufw

Symlink worked

@fernandomaroto

no listed dependencies were out of date for either, forcing all deps to be reinstalled for deluge worked but gufw still has the same problem FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/sbin/ufw': '/usr/sbin/ufw' cannot start still via terminal or gnome.

Just did a fresh install after discovering my new motherboard wouldn’t boot my Antergos boot partition, however 2 program GUI’s wont load.

Opening via gnome, i get password prompt then nothing, and above is the output of cli start…

Deluge

1. deluge-gui will load but no GUI will show (the librsvg and pygtk gui dependencies are installed)
2. terminal starup was complaining about missing service_identity, and installing python2-service-identity at least did something benefitial to fix that but now there is no output but deluge-gui is loading with no shown gui

I had actually done nvidia-340xx-dkms before coming to these forums… no effect…

No 340xx-zen driver series found…

ok, looks like i’ll need a GPU update in this machine, i’m rockin a 8600 gt here… i have a 910 that i can toss in here though but ew its so underwhelming…

installed the appropriate -dkms nvidia driver to no effect
