I can't find "smartctrl" on this machine, is it something that I have
to install ?
Thanks: Hi Guys,
An annoying issue has appeared !
I'm running Q4OS, Trinity Desktop on an AMD dual core machine
with 2Gb ram and 500Gb HDD.
Problem: On boot up, maybe every second or third time, I get a
black screen with "[*** ] Start job running - ~0.XX seconds.
1:30." If I Ctrl Alt Del the machine restarts with the same
screen and message. If I let it continue, I then get a page of
text with "Ctrl D" to continue, "Or enter Root Password to Login"
Using "Ctrl D" everything just stops and I have to hard boot the
machine, It then goes back to the start job again.
If I login with the root password, I get pages and pages of what
I think maybe logs. At the end of this if I "StartX" I get my
normal desktop. At this point if I logout and hard boot the
machine, everything comes up as normal.
I haven't a clue what is going on here... Help !
Thanks Guys:
That waddles and quacks like an e2fsck, and may be indicative of a
failing hard drive. Get a report from it with smartctl.
