"mdadm: no arrays found" && now "Failed: failed to start load kernel modules"

Yep, I rebooted after I posted the last post and the GUI returned intact, so the thread is "solved."






I also ran the "purge mdadm"  or whatever it was, and it showed a number of lines of "purgation" but in said reboot the "no arrays found in config or automatically" lines returned . . . as before . . . .  But, GUI is in working order . . . much appreciated.

Code: apt purge mdadm

On cold boot this am the numerous "no arrays" lines remain,
is this one of those it should have been, [/size]

Code Select Expand

apt purge mdadm.[code] 
where the period makes it "serious" as far as purging goes, or no the period is not required
and not advised as far as "mdadm" goes?

Don't use the period for that, only nvidia use the period please

Unless you are a very experienced user in debian


apt purge mdadm

apt purge mdadm

@piper:
Alrighty, well obviously I'm not very experienced with debian, but I ran the command as you provided, and then since then run "apt update" a couple of times, as well as an "apt update; apt full-upgrade" . . . and still the "no arrays" lines returned.

It's not something that is "intolerable" . . . it just adds to the time to boot the system, which lately has the dmesg lines, followed by the, "the system will start in 1 min 28 seconds" and then it counts down the seconds, which when I first installed Siduction it literally flew through the dmesg and booted super quickly.
I guess no harm in running the "purge" command again . . . but will it hold against the . . . "lost arrays" ??

[edit] A few minutes later I re-ran the purge command, and console says, "package 'mdadm' is not installed, so not removed."  So I guess the package was "purged" but some of the detritus of it remains in the system???  No worries on it, check you guys the next time.
