Michael,

So what happens if you boot that system from a live CD / USB thumbdrive?? A: does it boot? B: if it boots, can you get to the files on the drive?

This situation is one reason I make sure to turn off the motherboard splash screens that hide the boot process. At the moment, a log file that would point out the system halt is not coming to mind.

Yes, LVM can make that exciting.

I have an Ubuntu 20.04 system that's not booting; appears to boot but stops at a black screen.  It was running fine till I ran (delayed) updates; wasn't able to update for 7 weeks- a Kubuntu 20.04 system took the delayed updates without problem.

On Fedora it seems I was easily able to roll back to a previous state with updates gone awry.  I believe I did an LVM install, but never fully configured the whole snapshot thing.

The only "data" to retrieve is Chromium browser bookmarks which I'll google how to do next.  I'm ready to reinstall U20 if necessary, but if there's an easier way, I'll take it.  I want to set up either a Synology NAS or separate Linux box running NFS to store future snapshots once I get that process configured.

Thanks in advance (and past) for excellent input.
