[SOLVED] I think I messed up, took an update

Since I started using 5.2 I've noticed that I've not needed any updates. I had it check for updates several times but never are there any, surprizing to me. Today an update to update ubuntu came up and I took it, now....not much is working. I had it try again but got only a partial update option, I took that thinking that it would pick up what was missing/damaged and then get a complete install next time. Pictures are worth 1000's or words, so here are a couple od screenshots. Ironicly, the only known issue with the original 5.2 install was the workspace switcher didn't work....it works fine now.

Hi,

see if you can boot into a previous kernel from the boot menu, that may get you started!!.

Option 2 is boot into recovery mode and then run "dpkg" which should fix any broken packages!!.

Regards Wolfman :D

It must have been something in the wireless. Just to give it a try I turned off my wireless and plugged in the my router. i went through 2 partial install/updates and then it restarted and everything is running fine.
