my 23.10 now boots to single user mode (the tty1 log in page), After logging in with username and password (not as root, but regular me) I get this message:
/etc/update-motd.d/95 updates available 7: /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-updates-outdated: not found
run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/95 updates available exited with return code 127
what’s the best way to proceed now?
NMTUI shows wlan is connected
The best way is to backup whatever is important to you right now, if you haven’t already.
Then I would check/do (No grantee that it helps your case):
-
Which Ubuntu version does /etc/apt/source.list point to? noble = 24.04, mantic = 23.10
-
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
-
sudo apt install -f
-
sudo apt upgrade
-
Why are you even bothering dude? Just back up your data and install it fresh. You’ll be done in 30 minutes.
