Starting from 20.04 I ran the upgrade. Ended up with my computer booting to a cli. No data loss or anything, I just can't run desktop. If I try to run desktop I get

gstreamer1.0-pipewire : Depends: pipewire (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu1) but 0.3.52-1 is to be installed Depends: libpipewire-0.3-0 (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu1) but 0.3.52-1 is to be installed

(the numbers are close: I'm repeating them from memory - it is 0.3.52 installed whereas some package expects 0.3.48)

Thinking of options, my understanding is that backing pipewire down to 0.3.48 would really mess up a lot of other dependencies, so a pipewire backdown is really not a good solution. Another option is to reinstall either 20.04 or 22.4 over the top of my current install Perhaps the easiest solutio, if its possible, is to find the program that wants 0.3.48 and (hopefully) chnage that in a .conf file. How can I get past my computer wanting to have 0.3.48 when 0.3.52 is bering installed? Or, do I just reinstall my O/S?

I had the same issue when trying to install ubuntu-desktop after upgrade. Adding this ppa solved it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
