I’m not sure if this is the best community to post in, but I just bought a used computer and slotted in an RX480 as the GPU. I installed KDE Neon 5.27 on it, and it worked flawlessly for 2 days.

Then, even though it was working earlier today, it slept and then would not wake up. So I turned off the power and turned it back on again, and was greeted with this error screen:

The only prior error message I’d gotten from the system was when I tried to install wine for one application, it told me some packages weren’t up to date, without a way to fix it. I can enter the BIOS just fine.

What is going on? How do I fix this?

      I wouldn’t just do a system upgrade on a whim if everything is degraded and breaking apart. It’s possible that this magically fixes everything or it could just mess it up real bad. Better try to fix the system first and then do an update.

    None of what’s visible helps identifying the error. Try journalctl -xb as suggested it might show more relevant information

    Edit: oops should’ve been joirnalctl instead of journal

      I tried to do that, and it couldn’t find the journal package. So I tried to install it, but apt, flatpak, nor snap could find the package to install.

          Okay, that command works for me. The last line says that /etc/hosts:7: hostname “SuperSpruce_Iron_3900X” is not valid, ignoring.

            I don’t think underlines are allowed in a hostname. Dashes are and characters and numbers. And capital letters maybe neither, I didn’t look it up.
