Linux Lite Forums

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


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
