Hello,

a week ago I tried to update from 8.10 to 9.04

it failed and now my computer is almost useless.
I have no x server,
I can log in,
but most commands do not work.

I tried starting this thread to fix it, but have had no responses for a week.

Frankly, this is terrible.
I update my computer,
expecting every thing to relatively smooth..

my computer dies...
I have no idea why,
I would expect the help to fix it.

Sad to hear that, what video card you have. 9.04 has problems with some video cards due to restricted drivers that manufactures did not want to update.
