Does the screen light up at all when you power up? Or is it permanently dead. If it's always black, you probably have a dead screen. If it lights up and lets you work for a bit, and then goes black, it might be the backlight or the inverter. I managed to fix mine...for the moment. Trusting that the absent disk-light meant the update was paused for a dialog, I held down the power button and forced a reboot. It came back (so perhaps the black-out *wasn't* connected with the inverter?) with a full-screen console and about 10 short messages that went past too fast to read, then cleared and showed a login prompt. I logged in and used sudo dpkg --configure -a to restart the upgrade. This ran, but with some messages about missing configs, unresolved dependencies etc -- I have seen these before in a normal upgrade to 15.10, so I think they are bugs rather than a breakage on my system. Finally it finished and I rebooted normally, and it's running X again, but if I use apt-get, there is a very long list of packages which it *claims* are no longer needed, but at this stage I have no way to tell if this is true or if it's a result of a few things having been messed about in the process. In a normal version upgrade I'd expect maybe 10-20 packages no longer needed, but this list has maybe 50+. I'll leave it until I do a regular upgrade (usually weekly) and see what happens. ///Peter -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
