White Screen of Death - Unable to solve via Advanced Options

Installing Zorin OS
1

I have been using Zorin for the past several months and I love it.

I tried to upgrade Zorin, but when I login, I am now faced with this screen.

What I have tried

  1. I was able to go Grub and Advanced Options and try
apt update && apt dist-upgrade
apt clean
apt autoremove
reboot

This did not solve the problem for me.

I was able to install Zorin Lite (XFCE) one by ssh and I can login to Zorin Lite.

But I will like to recover my Zorin Desktop and use that.

Using this method, have you tried

sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

I had tried this. I ultimately had do some hack to keep the zorin gnome active (replace the script that was responsible showing that reboot screen) to a no-op and keep using.

I have reinstalled my OS now.
