Code: Select all
deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.neon.kde.org/user focal main
deb-src [arch=amd64] http://archive.neon.kde.org/user focal main


Once I removed [arch=amd64] all problems went away.
I also did a fresh neon installation in a VM to inspect the apt source and [arch=amd64] was not present, so most likely a carry on from an older version



Figured that continuous updating will **** out eventually. Checked my source file and I don't have the [arch=amd64] stuff.

Will have to reinstall as well and ditch Neon in the process probably for Kubuntu... too many issues occurring overall lately and it was harder to get graphic drivers working, meh.

Good morning,

I'm having the same issue:

"The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.
In order to unlock switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2),
log in and execute the command:
loginctl unlock session c24"

However, after restarting the computer, I can't get past the boot menu and get the error:

"PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable".

How do I get to TTY from here?

Thanks in advance for the help.

-Jeff

Personally I got rid of Neon, worst support ever, can't even log into their chatroom, gives more errors. I switched back to Kubuntu.
