NB: I cannot access the system on which this problem has occurred. I am posting from a different laptop.
I tried to do a standard update. It would not work due to a Dbus conflict. I searched the forum and found a topic that advised to re-install Dbus, which I did. Then I tried to restart, but I’m stuck at the “failed to start” screen.
Failed to start virtual console setup
Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight…
Failed to listen on Dbus system message bus socket
and lots more ‘failed to start’ messages, mostly Dbus
Please help, it’s my my partner’s computer and she needs it for work!
