After I upgrade Kubuntu from 17.10 to 18.04, and restarted it, all I'm seeing is my mouse cursor, which responds to my movements, and that's pretty much it. I tried to see if I can start up sddm, but that failed.
After running journalctl -xe
, this is the entry when it tried to start up systemd-modules-load.service:
systemd-modules-load[1858]: Failed to find module 'ashmem_linux'
systemd-modules-load[1858]: Failed to find module 'binder_linux'
systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
I also checked /etc/modules
, but they're empty.
I tried disabling Secure Boot from Lenovo's BIOS, but it won't let me (the option is disabled).
I tried running sudo dpkg --configure -a
, but that didn't work, and neither did sudo apt install -f
.
The solution I tried: https://askubuntu.com/a/779574/558318
I tried mokutil --disable-validation
, but that didn't work at all, either.
dmesg | grep -i failed
returns this:

This original problem got solved by purging anbox, but it seems that that wasn't the problem at all. See here
