I am afraid that I have a problem now:
I wrote that everything went fine with "my" method od directly using Synaptic. BUT
after the second boot I could not login. Login screen was ok, SDD did start working for about 10 seconds, but after that no login possible and the login screen itself had all buttons deactivated then.
I thought to start again and restored my maui backup (of the 2.1 version prior to the upgrade). Unfortunately this does not boot any more, does not even start.
After checking the backup I found out that I did check only the home partition for backup, but not the root partition...
So the root partition might be in an "already 17.3" state while my home partition is in "still 2.1" state now.
Is there a realistic chance to restore maui under these conditions? Or would you recommend a fresh install to me? If so: Should I use 16.04 LTS version (2.1) for stability reasons or is 17.03 likely to be more stable, because plasma has matured considerably?
Thank you very much in advance for some advice here! Please have in mind that for my purposes I have to invest quite some hours to establish all links, shortcuts, widgets and additional installations of programs.
