Yesterday mid installation of a program called cockatrice (table top sim) using a make file the computer froze and then when i reboot i get greeted with a black screen with just the cursor. No login screen what so ever. Im guessing this has something with my desktop environment to do but im unsure how i can debug without the terminal.
I should probably mention that i can access the file system of arch through my kali installation
