Missing video driver submodules
I have a situation where I have hard shutdown ubuntu too many times because of the cpu heavy application I run, with other applications.
The day has come and I have gotten the fatal
the screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly
I have been able to work my way to try and restore the video driver, however I am coming across state problems, where files that exist do not exist but certain software in ubuntu can see them while others cannot
I have HP Laptop 15-bs0xx
I have a Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 card
my current OS
Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS Xenial
my kernel
4.15.0.42-gerenic
I also have access to the 39 and 36 previous kernels
I am backing up my home directory to run diagnostic to see if they can bring up problems I cannot fathom
any help would be appreciated, tty coding is cool but for my projects I need that desktop back

"files that exist do not exist" might indicate a file system inconsistency.
I suggest that you run a file system check on your partitions (by booting an Ubuntu installer in the "try Ubuntu without installing" mode).

I looked at the end of my /var/log/
before start taking recovery steps with lightdm, I want to run sudo updatedb so that all commands are looking at the same system image state.
However if you do not get back to me I will use your step after backing up my work

Manfred Hampl I have been doing some thinking
I ran sudo updatedb and locate now sees was it supposed to concerning those video driver submodules, nothing
If you can provide a link to retrieveing and install the compleetary video driver software for my grapchics card that would be great
However, i am starting to think my problem is not with my drivers
When I run startx I get my desktop
so apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop at least gave me my desktop environment but when I tried to run apt-get upadte
I had a problem with gnupg specifically
Could not execute 'apt-key' to verify signature (is gnupg installed?)
I check the current version of gnupg its 2.2 however I still have 1.4 running, this should have affected apt-get software update performances and any required upgrades to my OS couldn't be made because I had a bad gpg which did not trust any of the ppa updates
Starting to realize this might not be a problem of me hard shutdown (I will definitely stop after this), its my failure to manually update my software that had my display manager lightdm caught in the loop
