Does this shed any light on the situation (and I guess the only way I'll know for sure is if the computer turns on normally, right?) or do you think I should proceed with those commands you mentioned?
Thanks.  |
Your updates ran successfully. The "W" message means the chrome repo has a weak signing key. Yes, run autoremove. It probably won't affect your black screen problem, though. It just removes old, unneeded packages.
Yes, run the -f install command. Long shot, but might help. I don't see any indication that anything's broken in your updates.
Check for disk space and RAM overload. The delay might be caused by swapping.
