I just did an apt update
followed by an apt upgrade
, and during the latter the screen went all blank with a blinking prompt. Unresponsive to keyboard and touchpad. I also hear the fans. It’s been like this for 10 min now. I think some Nvidia drivers were included in the upgrade. What to do? Is it safe to emergency reboot? I appreciate any suggestions also for post-checks. Cheers!
Try booting into console mode. Maybe there was a botched update that needs to be fixed. Below are some instructions on how to boot into tty.
