Hi
well, this is a first.
KDE Neon 5.16.5
stops with a black screen showing the following with NO BLINKING CURSOR
[39.736492] brcmsmac bcma0:1” brcms-ops-bss-info-changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
[39.736581] brcmsmac bcma0:1: brcms_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
So, I keep my data on an external device so I have not "lost anything".
Because I needed one particular item that was "updated" from the external device...darn it... it WOULD happen!
I popped in another HD with an earlier version of Neon and plugged in the ABOVE as a secondary drive and everything is there, the hard drive itself is functional, and I got the file.
I CAN, of course, get all the settings, etc, and the few oddments dragged to an external device but I'd just a soon not reinstall if I do not have to.
I cannot get ANY of the normal fixes to work since the cursor is nonfuntional.
The keyboard is nonfunctional.
However, the mouse does work! :0
searching the net using the upper line as a search term there are posts going back in 2005 that it could be a broadcom issue. The computer itself does have a wireless card onboard, it MAY be broadcom.
But there was also an ancillary discussion that it was the "gdm3" or gnome display manger which as been replaced for Kubu by "lightdm"
Whether the information above is relevant probably is of little use in that the keyboard is nonfunctional.
Oh and the keyboard DOES work, lol.
I GUESS that it "MIGHT" be possible for me to work FROM the working hard drive TO the drive in question with it as a secondary drive and TRY to EDIT a line in the drive IF I could maybe get superuser privileges.
IF that would be possible I would need to be given CLEAR STEP BY STEP instructions as to what to do to become superuser for THAT drive and the PARTICULAR place and lines to change or whatever.
THAT might be a very neat intellectual problem for someone!
So, if there are any suggestions, I would be appreciative.
