Actually the way it behaves- first it flashes that top line, "/dev/sd3 clean", then goes to the purple screen, then goes back to terminal and prints the prompt under it that line.
I have one more idea
boot the live iso, mount /dev/sda3 to /mnt and sda1 to /mnt/boot/efi
run the mount --bind commands and chroot into the system, edit your /etc/resolv.conf so you don't get resolve error.
run
apt-get update
Ok I'll go back in and try the dmesg |less thing. Anything else before I go back in?
Oh you want journalctl -xb I just noticed your edit. it's 60 pages long- I've got an idea- since I'll be root I can write the output to disk rather than take some stupid screencaps, right? So:
dmesg > /dout.txt
journalctl -xb > /jout.txt
Right?
well if that won't work I can journalcrtl -xb | tail -50
There is something wrong with the home partition filesystem
Code:
