Hi to Everyone,
Having done some minor resettings on alsamixer with no results, I
thought I had to reboot.
But : "Oh no, something has gone wrong..."
So, I am writing this message from my other laptop running Ubuntu 14.04
I tried to reboot in rescue mode, but I don't know what to do from
there. 'startx' says that it doesn't have the proper files to launch
startx as root.
login
bd
says : wrong login (doesn't even ask a pswd)
I remember a few years back on older versions, I had used 'System Rescue
CD', but this said CD, provided that I find it, would probably no work
on this system
Thanks in advance for your help so that I can expect to boot my system
without loss of data
By the way: not only did I reset alsamixer prior to rebooting, also I
had accepted an automatic system upgrade this morning.

Hi, Bernard.
I can't really help you with your specific current problem, but since you mentioned SystemRescueCD, I just wanted to note that a new version, SystemRescueCD 6.1.2, just came out a few days ago, 2020-03-29.
It is easy to write the .iso to a usb thumb drive and run it from there.
The website, including instructions, is:
Good luck!
