ok updated it and i was able to log into it from the actual console, but now this error is present that was not present

performing this right now ,

will keep you updated

ok i logged in via ssh, used option 12 and it did not update says system is still 16.7

i can try that but when i try to upgrade it says perform it from console by using option #12 but  i cant get tot he console because there is no login from the console..

i can get in through the web GUI but when i try to updates says no updates but clearly shows 17.1.4 there as being a update available but not letting me get it

so here is an update

went ahead and installed 16.7 and went off with out a hitch,

the lgin screen was there and all was well then i updated some packages and low and behold while on 16.7 it is having the same effect as 17.1.4 is i no longer have a login at the console of the machine,  it was working just fine

but now the console reads

16.7.14_2

so i am lost

and yes i am running 17.1.4  i have down loaded them several times and same results on all

could it be that i am using a video card also ?? this tower does not have a vga port so i had to install a video card becuase it is a dell XPS system and they all have video cards installed

yes this is directly connected to a monitor

i have used the iso for the following with the same results

vga
serial
cdrom

all have the same effect, i did manage to get logged in from a laptop i connected to the switch and it is running in live which made me look more

and i see a error when the comnands are scrolling

says consol com console errors or something like that it was scrolling way to fast to see,

i also looked in the install direction on here and i am never promted to have any install on any hard drive which would indicate i am runninng live

nothing at all, and after it gets to that point i hear some beeps go off on the machine and seems like he whole thing is locked up

i have downloaded 17.1 3 separate time, and used rufus three seperate time on three separate usb drive, and it complete just fine, i install opnsens and this is the end result does not seem to finish loading

does not seem to finish the loading process and this has done this 3 different times,

system is a
Dell  desktop with 4 gb ram
x64 proc
