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.
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.

More then noted my friend.
You might want to file a bug report so they can grab some info from you that could help an updater get pushed sooner and help others.
Very glad you got up and running. Hopefully they will get a better update pushed out soon.
