I ended up reinstalling ubuntu 21.10 from USB stick, which fixed it. I immediately ran "sudo apt -y upgrade" and it updated all packages. While updating "libffi8" i received a dpkg error message. on reboot, it loads to a screen that "something went wrong, log out and try again" and it freezes at that screen. i did not install anything beyond whatever the install medium puts on for a standard install. I am using the laptop now. after a second reinstall I deselected the libffi8 package from the upgrade list, and its working just fine, leading me to the conclusion that it is the offending package. because I can not get to a terminal window or gnome desktop, I cannot run apport on the system while crashed and frozen. sorry. but if there's anything i can provide to help with a fix, let me know, and I will gladly do so. please note, the bug report was generated on a working system, not the crashed system. I still have access to the crashed system if you have a suggestion how to get any information out of it. recovery mode does not load to gnome either.
