Hi guys I tried to find the answer with no luck, so let me briefly explain the issue: (this happen on April 26); not really sure if is possible to fix.
The system is pretty stable, but looks like I am guilty. Accidentally I press Ctril + Alt + space and for some reason, the screen turns black only with the mouse cursor. I turn off the system and when I tried to log in again the system just froze.
So I start to implement some solutions:
- The guess account is active so I log into that, and I created a new Admin account.
- With the new account I tried to access the original account, but that is no possible cause that account is an Admin so I change the password and type account to standard.
- With that change, I could retrieve my files from that account
- Sadly the problem persists. As I mentioned before the problem was on April 26, so I used
the joirnalctl to see what was the error and I found something about some "devil-think" unable to load. I wish to give more details about the message but I can get the logs for that day
- As a curious fact, If I try to switch the account, the screen turns black with the mouse cursor visible, and nothing else.
Any help would be highly appreciated
by the way this is my inxi output:
