This morning I updated my Mint Mate VM and rebooted as directed. The system came up to the login screen and I entered the password. The screen expanded to its normal size, but the login screen just appeared again. Any entry of the password led me nowhere. I tried to boot headless, but could find no way to get to a login prompt.
The system just returned: ptavv> VBoxManage startvm Mint --type headless Waiting for VM "Mint" to power on... VM "Mint" has been successfully started. ptavv> I am not a Linux expert and I'm mostly clueless about admin since systemd, and I don't make much use of this VM, but it is handy now and then. Can anyone provide a clue on how to try to rescue the system? Clearly, something is causing my session to exit on startup, but I have no idea what and, without command line access, I'm unlikely to find it -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
