Okay this is something completely new to me. Several problems all at once and they must be related. I'm running MX 23.6 Libretto. (1) When I tried to shut down my computer last night the shut down option was greyed out and the only option was to log out. Finally I shut down the computer by pressing the hardware button on my desktop HP 290 G4. The computer shut down but when I restarted there were other problems. 2) The networking is now disabled. In Networking Assistant WiFi status is "WiFi Hardware switch is off". But this is a desktop and to the best of my knowledge there is no such switch. 3) Also, the volume icon says "not connected to the Pulse Audio server." (4) Finally and perhaps most important I can't open either Gnome Disks, MX disk manager or Gparted. I was looking at Gnome Disks right before all these problems occurred. Does that mean there's a problem with the system disk? what have I done and how can I fix it? Help very much appreciated!
