Partially black screen

Omg hi :(((
So I ran the upgrade command on Linux last night, and I'm met with this disaster today. The mouse and screen won't show up. How do I fix this??

just a mini update, I decided to run sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall, and now I'm not sure where I'm heading

[old grove]

Wooo, I fixed the issue but now my wifi driver is gone -_-

[sick topaz]

Every day I see a new problem😂

What's wrong with your wifi?

[sick topaz]

@old grove

[old grove]

I'm so done honestly

[old grove]

the wifi driver for my laptop is gone

now i have to manually install it. I just woke up, so I'll try and fix it now

[sick topaz]

@old grove Sorry do you have a proprietary wi fi driver? Try removing it and the open source ones will start and it will work fine

To do this go to the driver manager on Mint, and remove the proprietary wi-fi drivers

Once done reboot

[old grove]

alrightyyyy

thanks again lol
you keep saving my butt every time

[sick topaz]

You're welcome 😁

[sick topaz]

@old grove Did you solve it with wi fi?

[old grove]

yeah.. I'm cooked

i need a factory reset on my thing

[sick topaz]

Damn I'm sorry

[sick topaz]

@old grove I recommend you install Linux Mint with the BTRFS file system because then like the timeshift application you can make quick and fast backups that do not take up disk space, and if it breaks Something you can always go back to the previous backup and fix everything

[old grove]

🤔

I'll try that out then

[sick topaz]

@old grove If you want I can send you a video tutorial since you have to reinstall everything

I found it very useful over the years because I could solve every problem with two clicks without knowing why and what happened.

😂😂

[old grove]

lmao yes please, I'd appreciate that

It happens, Linux at the beginning as easy as it is when certain problems happen it becomes difficult, as much as we are here to help you

[old grove]

I'll lose all my data from my previous project once i reinstall linux

[sick topaz]
