I installed a bunch of upgrades by running the command

sudo apt-get upgrade

with the result that I cannot even get to the login screen anymore I am not sure what caused this. I have tried all the options provided in this link, but all without luck.

I have run out of ideas, so if some clever blessed person sees this and maybe knows how to fix it - please let me know.

Thanks! Much appreciated. Btw., I have been writing several programs during the recent two years on this system, so I am extremely desperate to get this working again.

System info:

Linux kalik 4.8.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.15-1kali1 (2016-12-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

It looks autoremove removed libosmesa6 which may be needed, but was considered orphaned for some reason... probably wine which seemingly pulled in gphoto...
