Hello hello,
So, I updated my machine today and after a reboot I’m stuck on a loop at boot. What I mean by loop is :
I already tried to edit the grub command. I was then able to connect with my user. I tried to update, but nothing to update.
What else could I do?
Thanks

Are you using Prime and optimus manager? Maybe it’s similar issue to mine: Secondary monitor is dark after login - #9 by mskr
I had the same issue, I uninstalled optimus-manager and I am able to login successfully now
PS: its reinstall didn’t help, I have to keep it uninstalled only after the update
Oh my… That was it! Did not come to my mind as it was not part of the last updated packages. But, anyway, thank you
