I just did an apt update followed by an apt upgrade, and during the latter the screen went all blank with a blinking prompt. Unresponsive to keyboard and touchpad. I also hear the fans. It’s been like this for 10 min now. I think some Nvidia drivers were included in the upgrade. What to do? Is it safe to emergency reboot? I appreciate any suggestions also for post-checks. Cheers!

Update: The suggestion by @[email protected] worked!

    Nvidia driver updates have a tendency to crash X, so that’s probably what happened.

    If it works now, you don’t need to worry about anything.

      I think that’s what happened. Will be ready next time…
