Also I completely forgot to even try to see if I can use timeshift in the recovery lol, that’s an option! I seem to be able to access it from the recovery, should I try it first or?
Hay if the restore works might hold off on doing an update for a few days just too see if kubuntu had pushed a bad update. If they did they did they should fix it pretty quickly when they get a bunch of people with broken systems.
You should have the ability to boot back into the previously installed kernel version from Grub. Is that an option?
See if this is available: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1512466/is-that-possible-to-repair-a-broken-24-04-installation
There listed, but everytime I try to boot in it greets me with a stuck cursor and a black screen, no idea what’s going on.
Yeah that’s what I’m trying to do, but the networking isn’t working, can’t proceed with the recovery because of it, that’s what I need help with.
Have yiu tried making sure network manager is enabled and started?
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManagersudo systemctl start NetworkManagerFrom a live USB do you have networking?
Yep, but it doesn’t do anything, still won’t work for some reason.
Yeah, the live USB seems able to connect to the network. Do I switch over to it then? What can I do from there to fix this thing?
Does ethernet work?
Did you chroot and reupdate? You might want to reuse timeshift to roll back before doing so.
Could also try going back a couple timeshifts ago.
Sadly my system doesn’t have ethernet, WiFi only.
Chroot and reupdate? What do you mean?

Yes try to do that first. First research how to restore from timeshift backup so you do it properly.
Alright I’m in! Timeshift worked! Used the --restore command, now what do I do from here?
I haven’t used timeshift in at least three years so Im going to give you this instead of relying on my possibly faulty memory.
