Kernel panic after upgrade Mint21.3 -> Mint22 (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/linuxquestions

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hey guys I kind of have a little probleme here:

So during the upgrading of Mint 21.3 to Mint 22 there appeared some errors, and while trying to fix them a lot of library-packages were deleted and most of the programs gone.

Now after that I tried to reset my system back to tze last timeshift-backup but timeshift only ever deleted more packages and never installed the old files from the backup (i guess).

So now this is where I am at, a kernel panic and nothing boots. I guess i need a new (fresh) install and could try to use the backup of timeshift on that one?

Or is there any other elegant way to get out of this?

Thanks already for reading and tips <3

The only thing I can think of is chrooting into it using a live recovery distro and fixing it via that.

Thanks for the tip :)

At this juncture, the advice below is not likely to help (if I'm in a boot loop that isn't resolving, repair install or reinstall are the options I go for). Might work if you use a live environment though!

Possibly look through your package manager logs -

If you can get that dumped, you might be able to spot what's missing and try manually re-installing it, or at least get a list of all the things you need to reinstall.

My laptop was in the other room upgrading while i read this. Gave me a heartattack for a second haha.

Everything went fine on my end, but it does look like a bad state it was left in. Got it resolved or...?

The quick solution is to do a reinstall. My guess is that there is something wrong with the filesystem.
