Holy cow. Thank you, i think. I looked at each of your links & now my head has exploded. They spoke about concepts i'm struggling to grasp, & used jargon that's almost like another language [so the combination of both is that i don't yet comprehend what specific steps i have to do]. I have so many questions that i hardly know where to begin, but here's three for starters:
1. How is this related to my Tower somehow refusing to play ball with its graphics drivers, & how does this fix it? I thought you & leszek thought this was a graphics driver issue?
2. This catastrophe occurred just before i would have been doing my routine weekly data backup [of /home & /DATA; both eCryptFS-encrypted, hence unusable to me from the Live media], hence i'm feeling very vulnerable that i'm about to potentially lose my last week's changes. Will this strange chroot process cause data loss, either directly or else by deleting/altering the current encryption key & so stopping me decrypting?
3. What the fook happened to cause such a monumental catastrophe (i know that's rhetorical & you can't answer it, but geez this situation is terrible].
What a nightmare.
