4 years ago @RBarboni It's very likely that you're out of disk space. This is the most common support request on the GalliumOS subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/galliumos.
To fix, you need to log in text mode (Alt+F2), and clear out some space. First recommendation is sudo apt clean. Then try graphical login again, and see if it succeeds.
Edit: I cannot find pkg tex-fonts-extra in the Ubuntu repositories, so I assume you downloaded it from somewhere else..? Regardless, font pkgs are often very large. And Chromebook storage is often very small. The whole LaTeX suite is enormous and often causes problems for people. You may need a creative storage solution. Your C720 (PEPPY) has a replaceable internal SSD, so that is one option.
Hello,
I'm quite stressed by an issue I encountered today on my galliumOS distro. It starts normally until I enter user and password, then it process a bit and ask again for user and password without initiating a session. (I already checked that I enter the good password : it doesn't heaven process if I misspelled it)
Before that, it was running normally and I did the following :
I used root and
foremostyesterday, trying to recover files that I deleted (but it was still starting normally after)This morning I used root to move a
moderncvpackage to/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/made a GalliumOS update
used root to install the package
tex-fonts-extra(that's after that one that trouble began) The problem occured as I turn my computer off to start it again.So I made a few things using root recently, think it might have disturbed things but I can't manage to see what as I did nothing really intrusive. Also I had trouble starting some softwares recently because of a lack of free space. I think it might be the problem since the last package I installed seemed to be quite heavy.
I'm on an Acer C720 series with GalliumOS since a few years now. Really hope some of you can help me or give me any advice,
Thanks
