Cant login after full upgrade

Hello folks,

I’m running Netrunner 16 64 Bit. Yesterday I did a full upgrade (apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade). Now I’m on Kernel 3.19.0-22. I see the login screen, try to login and then a komplete freeze of login screen.
My home directory is encrypted using the std method while installing.

Dmesgs output shows this:

Everytime I enter a command into the shell and hit enter, “ecryptfs_write_metadata” and “Error writing headers” are showing up serveral times.

syslog shows these error messages:

Hope someone could help me out :slight_smile:

As far as I know, apt-get dist-upgrade isn’t supported by Netrunner.

So should I downgrade the Kernel? How am I going to do that?

Regards

apt-get dist-upgrade is supported. However you need to be careful. As this might also remove packages and install new ones in contrast to apt-get upgrade that will only upgrade packages.

Did the apt-get dist-upgrade command remove any packages ?

Do you maybe have a full harddrive ?
If yes you can try to remove space with a live system and see if it makes it work again.
