A field technician is troubleshooting a Linux-based digital signage kiosk that fails to boot into the graphical desktop environment following an automated patch deployment. The technician has conducted tests and confirmed the theory of probable cause: a newly installed driver module conflicts with the integrated graphics controller. According to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, which of the following actions should the technician perform NEXT as part of establishing a plan of action? (Select TWO.)
- Research vendor knowledge bases and patch notes to identify potential side effects of rolling back the driver module.Cevap
- Perform a full configuration and data backup of the kiosk operating system prior to making software changes.Cevap
- CTrain the kiosk site operators on manual recovery procedures to prevent future boot failure downtime.
- DReplace the system solid-state drive to determine if bad sectors contributed to the boot failure.
Cevap
The technician must research technical documentation for potential side effects and create a system backup before implementing modifications.
According to the official CompTIA 6-step troubleshooting model, once a theory of cause has been tested and confirmed (Step 3), the technician must proceed to Step 4: 'Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and identify potential effects.' Researching potential side effects in vendor documentation and taking a full system backup before modifying software are core elements of establishing a plan of action and minimizing risk.
