[SOLVED] unable to login after update

Post by mohican »

Hello, I just updated my Linux Mint Xfce 20.
I was told to reboot, witch I did.
After that I come to the login screen. I input my password and... the login screen comes again.
(same after another reboot).

Now I am on another Linux Mint install on the same computer.
I can see the list of proposed updates :
nettle
xorg-server
Linux kernel 5.4.0-71.79
libseccmop
pciutils

What can I do now ?
I have access to the partition of the "corrupt" install from this one, so I can operate on the files. But don't know what to do...
Please help :?

In fact this last update had saturated my system partition.

I was able to solve the problem by booting in recovery mode and use the 'clean' mode to remove unnecessary packages (older n-2 kernel).
