Nickman Sorry, just saw your reply. There was a typo in your command (space between --
and reinstall
) which explains your error message (you were trying to install a package named reinstall
rather than raising the --reinstall
flag).
I don't know for sure if the 3 broken packages in question explain your error (maybe the broken themes break the desktop environment display), but it's worth to try it!
Edit: Alos, the picture shows you're NOT in TTY. What you have open in just a simple terminal prompt. So that means that something is up with the DE, but you've got a working OS underneath it all. You don't have to fall back to GUI-less environments to interact with your system.
