Using Feren OS Hassiun on Dell XPS laptop on Intel processor.
The system was working fine till yesterday, but all of a sudden (likely after a normal update) I am stuck in a login loop. I enter the password after boot up, the screen goes blank and the same login screen reappears instead of the desktop. Multiple restarts did not help. Any way out?
Solution:
After doing some reading, I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F4 on the login screen to get access to tty. Then ran another upgrade with --fix-missing flag which eventually got me out of the login loop, but somehow wiped out custom themes, icons etc. from the desktop.
