    I am in now
    sudo apt purge gdm3
    sudo apt install gdm3
    I did a restart, logged in but no files at the moment

    I have done that, and restarted. All of my apps are there now,
    but no files

    Why are you doing this?

    What Files?
    Please show me this:
    Code:
    ls /home/$USER
    I can't see what you see, you are my eyes

    I don't know how to post a screen shot, it is difficult to describe. I can open Rhythm box and play music, but i have no file system or folders like:
    Music>
    Beatles>
    Let it be>
    Two of us>

    I don't need or want a Screenshot.
    Code:
    sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
    And you can restore any missing file/folders you don't have now from your back-ups.

    If you did not back-up before embarking on a On-Line upgrade to Noble well then that is a sad day. (It has been said many times there are risks with a Version Upgrade)

    I was asked by another member here to see if I could get you in to your system, the rest I'll leave up to you.

    Good Luck

    Hi Brindle67, keep on it, I'm sure we are not alone with this problem, I too followed the prompts assuming there would be warnings if things were not going to go smoothly. I look forward to an extract of the successfull steps that solved your problem, maybe the more knowledgeable members of the Forum could do an analysis of the problem and provide a step by step guide as to how to (a) avoid the problem whilst updating and (b) solve the problem for those of us that follow blindly into the update.

    Can you add how you did this, it would be helpful to others as well.
    Happy to hear your back in business though.
