Latest update broke wayland. At the user sign in screen I had to switch to X-11 in order to get to the desktop. If I keep it on wayland, the desktop just goes dark, the spinning cog doesn’t show up and I can hear the computer fans start to ramp up. I’m using KDE. There was a kernel update, so not sure if that has anything to do with it. I’m new to linux.
Downgrading linux, linux-headers, nvidia, and nvidia-utils fixed it for me.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me. Can you help me with the process of down grading? Please provide the terminal commands. Thanks
Not sure about the proper way, but i just logged in with x11, and then ran:
sudo downgrade linux linux-headers nvidia nvidia-utils
which then lets you choose which version you want to downgrade to for each package. I just used the older cached ones (not remote), and yeah that just did it.
Ok, I will try that and report back if it works. Thanks

You can also use eos-shifttime command to revert packages on the system to the state they were in on the selected date.
Your solution worked but, I had one hick up. My WiFi stopped working! I just reinstalled the WiFi drivers, and now everything is back to normal. Thanks!

I just checked out your solution too. It looks like a viable option also. Haven’t tried it yet, but have the command in a text file so I can use it in the future. Thanks

I tried it on my laptop, and it helped fix the problem, but it reverted all the updated packages, not just the kernel. Maybe it will be a solution for someone.
