Pity it's too late for me. I had checked the upgrade warnings forum just before the D-U and there didn't seem to be any major problems so I went ahead. Looks like this thread was started just after.
At the moment my sidux installation is completely unusable, I can't even login in init 3 (except as root).
I'm hoping and praying this isn't borked beyond repair  |

Too many people will get bitten by this one today unfortunately. |

I'm in the same boat as you Shame. Fingers are crossed that they figure this out..
h2: Is it possible at all to have a rollback function in smxi? Some way to catalog the last DU, remove the packages it installed and revert to the previous versions from the local cache? That would be insanely cool.. |

| Oh crap, I found this thread about 10 minutes too late. My PC is now only usable with the root account, which bad. Hopefully there won't be any unrecoverable damage to the system. Let's hope a solution comes up soon. |

Not sure if it helps with troubleshooting at all but I also noticed that when at the login screen, my mouse doesn't work at all, though keyboard is fine.
I also found I can login graphically as root (but obviously I'm not gonna actually use it for anything) and again the mouse doesn't work.
Could it be conncected in any way? |

I have the exact same issue + my wireless is also gone. Trying to modprobe it gives me an error (something about microcode). No change to the kernel though. Whatever happened is having far reaching consequences..
BTW- when I did the chmod 666 of the /dev directory I was able to login as a normal user and backup all my files via ssh. |

I just ran another dist-upgrade and two packages were upgraded from the sidux fix repository libdevmapper and dmsetup (I think, I forgot already).
I also removed gpm at the same time since it's been on hold for a bit and doesn't seem to do anything useful for me.
So not sure which of those events it was but I can now login normally and everything appears to be working fine again. |

shame, gpm needed to simply: apt-get install gpm, that fix was in smxi, but gpm is quite useful.
New dmsetup fixes it, so if you can login as root just: apt-get update && apt-get install libdevmapper dmsetup
If you cannot, like some, you need to start from a livecd, then do this (from devil on irc)
in livecd, use chroot:
mount /dev/<your device root partition (like sda2)> /mnt
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
apt-get update && apt-get install libdevmapper dmsetup
not sure if this works yet, but that's it for now. |

| viniosity, no, it's not possible. Far too complex. |

| I believe for most users, just restart in init 3, then login as root, then install the new packages. |

I got the problem no KDM too.
But after the latest dist-upgrade, the problem is gone. |

I dist-upgraded this morning (7/16). KDE is running OK, but as I'm booting up, the following error message appears a number of times:
/lib/lsb/init-functions: line 335: log_action_end_msg_pre: command not found
Also, apt-get policy indicates that lsb-base is installed (3.2-14), but lsb-release is not (candidate 3.2-14)
Hope that helps. |

| May I ask... If that problem is universal why I was not affected by it? |
