Yesterday when I switched on my Iyonix it stopped during boot up with an odd error message. It was just at before the desktop should appear and it was an "error from desktop" and it said "machine did not start up properly" and there was an error message which was gibberish, it said something about 'sys' and wasn't a proper error message at all. If I cancelled it I got to the desktop but it didn't do anything, so if I pressed Alt/Break I could select 'Stop Unknown' and then then it would actually work OK, but the machine would not connect to the internet , Netfetch said I the machine had a network error. So I rebooted with the network options swtiched off and no error message appeared, turned it back on it and the message came back, then after a while and a few reboots the message just vanished and the machine was fine again. There was no explaination as to why this happened, nothing changed with the machine, it was just there, and then it wasn't , had anybody else experienced this problem ? it was clearly connected to the network files, I thought maybe some file had got corrupt but obviously not.
