- I suspended the computer, and after resume, the lock screen was broken:
- When I clicked on the password field, the text cursor only appeared for a split second, and I could not type in it
- Clicking on the user switch button on the bottom right corner did nothing
- A few times, the text "Authentication error" randomly appeared for a split second, probably for 1 frame
- No way to reboot the normal way, because I could only use the power menu on the lock screen, which only has suspend
- I used the power button to reboot, and instead of GNOME, there was darkness

-
End of class
-
I reinstalled tlp because installing gdm3 removed it
-
After selecting an app search result, instead of a new window opening, an existing window was focused, and this led to me discovering that my built-in extensions were gone
-
While writing this post, I got the idea of using the list of removed packages in the apt history log output from
apt install libpipewire-0.3-0/bookworm-backportsto see what packages to install again, so I did that, then I also had to uninstall firefox-esr again -
I rebooted, and my built-in extensions and other stuff were resurrected, so now I have full redemption
-
Another Window Session Manager restored my windows in a way that pissed me off
(Failed attempts of recovery are not listed)
Edit: actually I made the mistake 1 minute before the start of class
