We've got a problem. Debian "Jessie" box won't launch X or Tomcat, and USB drive won't mount
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We've got a Debian 8 box (an old Dell 400SC) that won't launch X (it
boots to a command line) or Tomcat, nor mount a USB hard drive that we
use for backups.
It will, however, accept ssh connections.
In the boot sequence, I see "Failed" where it tries to mount the USB
drive. I also can't seem to get that drive to mount on anything else,
which suggests that it has been corrupted.
Can somebody suggest where to start looking for the problem?
