Can anyone share a tip on how to get this system running correct again? Where to start?
( I do mean: re-installing is something you do on a Windows computer, not on a Linux system )
I have ubuntu 22.04 installed as a Hyper-V guest under Windows 11. Today I wanted to do something under Linux, and started this machine.
Almost always, I start doing upgrades (because the Linux machine might have been down for a month or more...), so I do: sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
Today, after running the updates, I did get a message that a reboot was needed, and after that, and after logon, gnome started to hang. mouse stopped working too...
CTRL+ALT+F3 still works, and I can logon there.
I looked at the logs (/var/log/syslog), and cannot find anything special.
P.S.: I have 4 Gb RAM, 4 CPUs, enough diskspace, network is working too, even when gnome is hanging.
EDIT: I created an animated gif showing the problem
- It starts on gnome desktop where a script:
while true; do date; sleep 1; done is running
- I change screen using CTRL+ALT+F3 (where
top is running)
- I change back to screen 1 (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- Need to logon again....
- The screen keeps running for about 11 seconds.
