Time to once again go public with my incompetence....
OK So running LMDE XFCE. Installed the Update 4 yesterday.
Now when I boot the system it goes right to what appears to be terminal mode.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We need your boots and motorcycle... err, I mean, your boot log and video card information.
To obtain boot log, install bootlogd:then reboot and post the contents of /var/log/boot here.

To obtain video card info, run

Re: LMDE Update 4 --> now boots to terminal
I had this problem...
Try:
And if Xfce starts up, run Mint Update as you normally would.
Try:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
startx
