Ubuntu MATE stuck at boot

I wanted to try GDE so I changed the display manager to gdm3. I rebooted to update the changes and now when it boots it is stuck.

It sometimes is stuck at wait until snapd is fully seeded or gdm.service. Is there a recovery menu or something? I wasn't expecting this to happen and I don't want to lose everything.

Hi :slight_smile: You can try to run into rescue mode and reconfigure it again as it was before in order to troubleshoot your snapd issue.

This can arrive if you lack space on /

I have 16GB of space left in /, but I fixed it by going into the shell with [ctrl]+[alt]+[f2] and fixed it with sudo dpkg reconfigure gmd3.
