    If X won’t start (with sudo startx), save the output of inxi -Fxz in a file so you can share it with us.
    (in your non working installed system) Log in and, in the terminal and, do:
    inxi -Fxz > $HOME/Documents/brokeninxi.txt

    You will now require a live system.
    When booting to a live system, select the session Space-icewm (if you cannot see it, boot and, after launching the desktop, go to the menu > Desktop > Other desktops > Space-Icewm).
    Open the File manager (it will now be SpaceFM). On the left side you will see your partitions. If you did a normal install, your home folder should be located in the partition named rootantiX (if yoou created a home partition during installation,it will be in the home partition). Click on it to mount that partition (it will open it in a new tab). Navigate to the home folder > user > Documents and you will se the file brokeninxi.txt you created earlier. Share it in the new reply.
    Also, share your current inxi -Fxz (in the live system) to compare.
    Finally, in the root partition of your installed system, navigate to /var/log/apt/ and open history.log file. Go down to the end of the file and look at all apt changes marked with today’s date. Copy them (from the first of today’s date to the end of the file) and also share them with us in the forum.

    Summary:

    A. Borken installed system. Log in and do
    inxi -Fxz > $HOME/Documents/brokeninxi.txt

    B. Start a live system with Spacefm-Icewm desktop.
    1. In the file manager, click on your rootantiX partition. inside, go to home/user/Documents and share the brokeninxi.txt with us.
    2. Share the inxi -Fxz of the live system.
    3. Share the /var/log/apt/history.log entries for todays date with us (make sure this is the rootantiX partition)
