Solus freeze on startup

TheSlider2

Hey there.
Ever since the last big update my laptop freezes up a couple of seconds after boot. If i'm fast, I have the time to log-in and open a terminal window but not fast enough to type in anything.

I'm running Budgie on a MacBook Air from 2013 (A1466).

I tried booting with the previous kernel but the system still freezes up.

I should mention that shortcuts to control screen brightness and keyboard backlight don't work while frozen.

Any help is welcome !

Well, don't log in via GUI, but go to TTY (Ctri+Alt+F2 or another F) and check the logs. E.g.: journalctl -p err -b -1

Hey Pomon, Thanks for the reply.

I had forgotten ctrl + alt + f2 was a thing. I tried pressing that key combination after choosing the kernel until arriving at the login page and sure enough the TTY showed up and I furiously started typing my username and password but didn't even have time to do so that the crash occurred throwing up the following log.

I wish I understood what was wrong or how to revert the update in some safe mode.

First, read this post.

pomon Wow, thank you. I've followed the instructions from plutuplutu to remove the broadcom driver and I got it to boot. Looking for a fix on the github issue now.

Thanks again.
