I tried to first run Enlightenment Window Manager on tty2 after using the Ctrl+Alt+F2 keystrokes. It ran normally but, afterwards, I opened a terminal in Enlightenment and typed startx
. X11 also launched successfully. Then I logged out from startx
. After showing that it logged out successfully, the notebook died.
I unplugged the machine anyway and tried to login again but was dead cycled at login page by asking me to type in the password forever, which is on tty7. I tried to run Enlightenment again on tty2 but it died halfway. I tried to tty3 this time and can still see everything in my laptop.
Should I apt remove enlightenment
through tty3?
fsck
or file-system check (command or using GUI tool such asgparted
orgnome-disks
. Given your additional details I'd also check SMART health (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools) and likely do memtest overnight(s) to validate hardware (all from live media). I'd do these first – guiverc Jun 17 '21 at 22:31
