Help!! Update just broke my system!! - timbuck2 - 06-30-2023
So I had a notice that 2 updates (LL6.4) were available today linux-modules and nvidia_module I believe they were.
Went ahead and updated and it recommended to reboot so I did.
Now my desktop won't load. Hangs with blinking cursor and black screen.
(I can still log in with Alt-F2 vrtual terminal if that can help reverse the update)
Please Help!! I have no idea how to fix this!

Ok, ran
Code:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*and restarted.
The dekstop now comes up using nouveau driver but the xfce4 panels on both of my monitors are gone! Oi vey, what is going on today!
I ran:
Quote:xfce4-panel
and it reported
Quote:xfce4-panel: There is already a running instance
What can I do to get the panels back on?

5 hours later...system back in order. :banghead
But had to timeshift back a couple of days. Afraid to uninstall the nvidia drivers since changing to the nouveau ones screwed everything up. Not gonna update the nvidia drivers for a while though until I know it's not screwed up anymore.

Good move on Timeshift, just confirms the importance of regular back ups
