Is it 'safe' to upgrade Ubuntu Server with hashcat?
#5
Well everything was working fine until today. I hadn't had a chance to do much for a couple weeks so I needed to upgrade hashcat-plus, Catalyst and Ubuntu.

I upgraded to the new Catalyst, performing the steps you provided here:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-2030-po...l#pid11947
and everything was working fine with -plus 0.13 (thanks again).

I did an apt-get and noticed that there was a new version of lightdm and a new version of xserver, I don't know if that had anything to do with the price of corn in Nebraska. Now when I run hashcat-plus I get seg faults and core dumps. I did a search on the forum for this and found a couple problems but nothing like what I'm seeing. I can't run -plus at all.

I did notice that lightdm does not appear happy, I see this in syslog during boot:
Code:
init: lightdm main process (940) terminated with status 1

I can post more if it will help. I assume this is a known/simple issue; the problem is I don't know where to start. Do I want to reinstall Catalyst (and recreate the xorg.conf) or do I want to work with lightdm? Of course startx doesn't work and it appears X is not running. I checked the lightdm.conf file and and the xorg.conf from this morning and they both seem intact.

...maybe I just answered my own question. Why the heck isn't X11 running?
