Hi!
I am using the Cinnamon DE. After last update (today: 2022.08.23.) X wont start.
Alt+Ctrl+F2 works for using console.
What can I do to resolve this problem?
Thanks.

I hope the above is enough.
Let me know if needs more or other specific information.
Notice that, the information originated from my backup system, so the HDD info is not valid.
Also the software versions are older.
Thanks.
Amazing thing happened!

If it came back to normal, there’s probably no need to proceed further.
But if you’re curious, you could try digging deeper.
