my 23.10 now boots to single user mode (the tty1 log in page), After logging in with username and password (not as root, but regular me) I get this message:

/etc/update-motd.d/95 updates available 7: /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-updates-outdated: not found

run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/95 updates available exited with return code 127

what’s the best way to proceed now?

    Why are you even bothering dude? Just back up your data and install it fresh. You’ll be done in 30 minutes.

    The best way is to backup whatever is important to you right now, if you haven’t already.

    Then I would check/do (No grantee that it helps your case):

    1. Which Ubuntu version does /etc/apt/source.list point to? noble = 24.04, mantic = 23.10

    2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a

    3. sudo apt install -f

    4. sudo apt upgrade

      backup done

      /etc/apt/sources.list point to 24.04 noble

      there are 2 packages disabled on upgrade to noble: mkv and imagereader, lines are commented so nothing wrong here

      do you still recommend to execute sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a?
