Fucked up my system pretty bad whilst trying to install drivers (infosec.pub)

Hey guys,

Im a relatively new Linux user, so pardon the stupidity thats about to follow. I have an Asus gaming laptop on which I installed Debian 13/ testing. Everything worked well, until I tried installing new AMD drivers.

I followed this wiki article for the installation of the drivers. However after I ran the command

# apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all

and rebooted my system, I was no longer able to access my Desktop ("unable to access Cinnamon session").

The good news is I can still access the terminal via Ctrl & alt & f2. However I am not able to reinstall cinnamon because I dont have network access (I think).

I might be wrong but I think thats because before rebooting I ran a VPN with killswitch enabled, which is now blocking my network access, but I have no idea how to disable this from the terminal.

Could you help a noob out to repair his system?

I would hate to reinstall and lose all my data :(

Aw thank you! I've forwarded your request to him and he's working on it.

Aww thank you for thinking about him <3 This is extremely valuable advice. I've been wondering how to teach him in that regard. Will definitely try it out!

Thanks again mate. When I brought him to the vet it turned out that he was severely constipated. After the vet relieved him and a few days of kitten formula he seemed like a completely new cat!

Wow, that's a beauty right there! I can relate to the chewing part. Mine has found a particular interest in chewing on my fingers, which has gradually become more painful the more teeth he got...

Yes he has indeed and it honestly feels amazing. I grew up around cats, but I never had a pet, with which I have formed such a deep connection like I have with him.

I rescued this little guy around 3 weeks ago. I never took care of a kitten before, but fortunately he's been making amazing progress. He's almost fully weaned at this point.

Shoutout to user Joshua Nozzi from my previous post, who urged me to see a vet. If I went any later he may wouldn't have made it.

I've been syringe- feeding him a mixture of lactose free, dehydrated milk, egg yolk and a little corn syrup for the meantime. I'm in a developing country and there isn't really any infrastructure around pet care, unless in the capital city... I truly hope they have the KMR powder... I'll embark on the journey with him tomorrow, but by the way he's been drinking the mixture I'm more than confident he'll make it trough the night.

I was suspecting this. Will take him to the city to see a vet tomorrow...

I rescued this guy from the roadside yesterday. Can you guys help me determine it's age? I'm at a very remote location with no easy access to a vet unfortunately...
