hi guys i am not new to linux distros and did try Ultimate Edition 3.5 on desktop when it was released but first time on my laptop. install was perfect and all was well till i decided to install software updates. everything went wrong and i am stuck literally. initial install everything worked out the box even my b43 wifi adapter. 1st distro after ubuntu 13.04 to do so. during upgrade the software upgrader seemed to crash and asked me to reboot. upon rebooting my wifi is now gone and my touchpad isnt working anymore so no mouse no movement period. installed usb mouse but all programs i open crash including software manager or updater
please help as i really like this distro as its quite refined graphically and very good build. also the quickest i have used. currently running opensuse 12.3 while i await some feedback on my issues
thanks in advance for any help
