All kinds of weird stuff getting here, including an alert that said there was a system problem and offered to report it. That came up at least twice, but finally a real graphics screen! Thanks!
Hi Kilaueabart,
Many thanks for your effort! That’s great news! Good job!
A number of things strike me as odd. Maybe those make for a test report.
First, I still get screen after screen of "Starting/Started/etc." messages, beginning with one with two penguins sitting up top.
Today it didn't open with the "Internal error" alerts I got yesterday. But I did get one when I was experimenting with Mate Tweak > Windows. It provided the info that it couldn't do whatever with the clock applet ("Delete? / Don't delete?), and added the info that I had to update this stuff:
coreutils, gcc-6-base, glib-networking, glib-networking-common, glib-networking-services, gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, gstreamer1.0-x, libcups2, libgcc1, libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0, libgstreamer1.0-0, libjpeg-turbo8, libncurses5, libncursesw5, libpam-systemd, librsvg2-2, librsvg2-common, libsystemd0, libtinfo5, libudev1, systemd, udev
This raises a question I had wondered about yesterday: Is it safe to use the software upgrade with System > Administration > Software Updater? Is there a danger of getting programs that will mess up the X1000?
Well, now that I know how easy
it is to install 16.04 I'm going to take the chance as soon as I post this.
