Richard Craneum Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I loaded Mandriva 2009.1 PWP Edition and I have a problem with finishing loading the desktop. All I get is the blue Mandriva Background and a Console on the top left corner. Did anybody had the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 No sorry. It seems no desktop can be found… Do you use autologin, or do you use the login screen? In the latter case, in the session-choice menu, what choices do you have (Gnome, IceWM, KDE…)? In the former case, from the terminal window you see, type “mcc&†and once in the control center (on the last tab), disable auto-login. Yves.

Richard Craneum Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 No Auto Login, I try others but chokes up too. Now, will not pass the progression bar or partially. I wonder what it is? It seems to load just fine and goes through the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 When you see progress bar of system loading you can press ESC to get verbose mode and then we can see more or less where it is stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Craneum Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Is random, so I am not sure. Now the progression bar goes a tiny bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Craneum Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is fixed now. The Problem was the Power Supply. I had a 300W and tons of stuff installed. It worked for about 2 years and finally gave up. Tough one to troubleshoot, since seems to work fine when I installed 2010 Power Pack.

K Bergen Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yes a weak power supply can cause mayhem. I had two hard drives that I thought were gone, one would just hammer the drive head the other would work for a day or so then totally disappear from the system. A new power supply fixed both of them. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
