-current upgrade to 5.4.1, cannot connect to internet and no keyboard/mouse in X
by oddius_oddone from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VY7S)
I know there were some other links to similar issues,
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...urrent-947120/
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...orking-943408/
I checked those and both were caused by not running Code:slackpkg install-new which I did do.
My most recent update/install-new/upgrade-all upgraded my desktop to 5.4.1. I was looking forward to using it, however when I booted my computer I saw several error messages of the form:
Code:[ 4.775853] udevd[699]: ctx=0x16d6d00 path=/lib/modules/5.4.1/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.ko error=No such file or directoryI had never seen these messages before so I attempted to redo the updates, thinking maybe something didn't install right. Unfortunately when I attempted to run the slackpkg commands I found that my network wasn't working.
Running ifconfig showed only lo, and not eth0. My desktop does not have a wireless adapter, so I didn't expect to see it. I also went to /etc/rc.d/ and checked that rc.inet1 was set to executable. I finally ran netconfig to see if NetworkManager could auto fix it.
I found the second issue when I attempted to startx to check if NetworkManager was working. My cursor was in the middle of the screen and my keyboard and mouse were non-responsive. I couldn't get back to TTY without a hard reboot. I attempted using X with multiple installed Desktop Environments and Window Managers to see if it was just one.
I'm posting this from my laptop since my desktop is mostly unusable. I'm a college student with somewhat limited time, is this something that can be fixed or would my time be better used if I just backup my files and reinstall?
Edit: I did run lilo to update the bootloader
