yea. Voidlinux, I hibernated with “ZZZ”, now managed to boot to it from grub from another distro butt none of the services work I think and I can’t start a DE or start xorg or whatever. I tried removing the swap or turning it off ot whatrver and after I did swapoff it did seem to go away but then I had the samr problem and when I booted the same way the swap partition was on.

should i delete the swap partition and make another one later or…? pls help thanks a lot!

    If you can access it just pull.your personal files and reinstall. Its not worth the chase unless you have a ton of irreplaceable shit on there.

      You can fix these things with Linux. That’s the magic of it. While it’s not as polished as other OSes (unlike others here keep insisting) you are actually able to fix almost every problem yourself. And while doing it you learn a thing or two.

      Backups are needed. But if you want to learn how to solve weird issue like this. This is good practice. But again make sure your files are safe.

        imo if OP made it here they have already traveled enough, and I know I didnt know in my comment, but the separate hone partition makes it a lot less painful.
