The latest mandatory update appears to have killed my server. After
running the update, as I have done dozens of times, the server stopped
responding to mouse and keyboard input. Ah, xserver problem, thought I.
Ctrl-alt-backspace. Now I'm looking at the system console @, I think,
runlevel 5. I tried various commands such as xdm, gdm, xserver, etc.
(I'm not a CLI guy.) None of the commands did anything useful. Now for
the really stupid part. I decided to simulate a power failure. This
resulted in a reboot and the reboot attempted to give me a gui logon
screen (the little clock icon was running) but it never actually got
there. I decided I need some help.
First, be careful when applying this update. Second, does anyone know
how I can recover from this upate? I had a very busy day planned so any
assistance will be sincerely appreciated.
