Subject: [gentoo-user] Frozen after Upgrade
Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 13:31:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v2g2db4be991005030631pd070686dg60634ef228db9311@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
Yesterday, I updated my system.  On reboot, I get to my login screen,
but then everything is frozen - the cursor blinks in the box where I
am supposed to enter my password, but the keyboard doesn't work and my
mouse is frozen.  I don't know if this has something do do with the
xorg update that happened in connection with my nvidia driver.

I can't even kill X because, stupid me didn't configure the
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace when it was no longer automatically configured.

Right now, I have booted from a Kubuntu live CD so was able to get
into the system to write this.

Is there a way I can fix this without having to do a complete reinstall?
