I didn't bother posting the Ubuntu wiki link because (at the moment) the Ubuntu 
wiki is...drumroll...BROKEN

Way easier than doing it manually.

Subject: [PLUG] Need Help with "Oh no, something went wrong!"

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 on my Oryx Pro laptop. I performed a normal 
update/upgrade and after a reboot, a white screen appeared with a sad monitor 
graphic and "Oh no, something went wrong!" message.

I have 2 drives, one for the OS and one for /home/mark in the machine (sym link 
to OS drive). I created a writable Ubuntu 24.04 Live USB stick and I can boot 
the machine and access both drives. What diagnostics should I run to diagnose 
the problem? Especially to determine if I need a new OS drive.

Or, should I just install Ubuntu 24.04 on the OS drive? The downside is the 
time needed installing all my apps and removing/reinstalling the /home/mark 
drive (so I don't mess that up!).

System76 tech support was next to worthless. Waited 6 days for "We are very 
busy so just reinstall the OS".

Thanks!
