Login Issues
- Graphical login fails, goes back to login screen
Your internal storage is probably nearly full. The Desktop Environment (Xfce) can't start, and you're dropped back to the Greeter (login screen).
To clear disk space:
- Log in on VT2 (Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 at the login screen, enter username and password)
- Try removing unnecessary packages:
sudo apt autoremove - And clearing the package cache:
sudo apt clean - Reboot and try to log in again
- If that doesn't clear enough space, repeat VT2 login, and try
rm'ing unnecessary files ($HOME/Downloadsis usually a good place to start)
Hardware Issues
- No audio output
Here are some quick commands to try.
If you just want to start from scratch:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall galliumos-baytrail
If you haven't changed your audio config:
rm -rf $HOME/.config/pulse
