It happened to me a couple of weeks ago too and I was left with a totally unusable system. I lost two days of work during which I reinstalled a minimal base system and made sure I don't install a trace of GNOME and systemd anymore. A kind soul has published what it takes to make a usable system without all the anti-features of GNOME and other "user-friendly" desktop systems. <http://sohcahtoa.org.uk/osd.html> Good luck! -- Ramakrishnan
