Linux mint will no longer start
Posted: 23. Mar 2021, 01:55
I may have really screwed up. I changed the contents of a file on linux and now virtual box hangs. Here's what I did:
In my home directory on linux there is a file .gtkrc-2.0. The file looks something like this:
style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
{
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 80
# XfdesktopIconView::shadow-x-offset = 0
# XfdesktopIconView::shadow-y-offset = 1
# XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-x-offset = 0
# XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-y-offset = 1
# XfdesktopIconView::shadow-color = shade(1.5, @tooltip_bg_color)
# XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-color = shade(1.8, @tooltip_bg_color)
# XfdesktopIconView::shadow-blur-radius = 2
XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 2
XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 6
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 1.9
fg[NORMAL] = shade (0.9, @selected_fg_color)
fg[ACTIVE] = @selected_fg_color
My actual file only had lines in it with the word shadow. I commented those out and restarted the linux system through vb. The first time I did this the system restarted so that may or may not be the issue. However, on subsequent attempts I am unable to get the linus guest running.
Here's a link to my latest vb.log file

- When I try to start up through virtualbox I get a black screen with the green LM logo in the middle. The machine just hangs there.
- If I do a reset I get the option to enter advanced options for linux mint 20.1
- from there I can go into recovery mode and get to the root in a terminal session
- when the machine tries to boot I get : failed to load kernel check systemctl systemd-modules-load.service
- if i try to run any apt commands I get: unable to read cpu table
- when I look on my shared drives with windows 10 system I just have . and .. for each of the drives
