Update: apparently reform-desktop-full wasn’t installed? Now this is left:

W: Flashing u-boot to eMMC on MNT Pocket Reform with i.MX8MP Module is not without risk.
W: If you flash the wrong u-boot or if the flashing process goes wrong, it is
W: possible to soft-brick your board. Restoring it might need some extra hardware.
W: Please only proceed if you are sure that the benefits outweigh the risks for you.
Are you sure you want to proceed? [y/N]
When you say “extra hardware” are we talking JTAG or UART here?
Can I fix this to boot from NVMe? I notice reform-flash-uboot only offers emmc or sd - I’m running the OS from NVMe but the bootloader is elsewhere?
Apparently I can’t attach a text file here, but there’s a number of crashes similar to Pocket Reform trace error - #19 by josch

I apt-upgraded after months of this thing being in a drawer and now I have regrets!
Wifi is up and ssh is working so I can do any diagnosis but I have lost the desktop environment after this upgrade.
Times have changed since I used to troubleshoot X11 - what’s the equivalent log for wayland?
