While I'm not sure I'm in Red Pill Mode, I did my update from the command line over SSH; a really STUPID ting to do.
I did reboot my system last night after doing the upgrade on Sat, and all of a sudden everything looks like it works. There where a number of 3rd party apps that needed to be upgraded, but everything is now working fine.
Thanks,
Denis

oil that everybody and his brother recommended for every problem.
Predictably and unfortunately, most of the people who ended following
these recommendations are exactly the people who shouldn't have.
The folks on the front lines of community troubleshooting support have
done their best to try to stop its usage as a magic bullet, but a lot
of people seem to ignore the advice against using it.
To anybody reading using Red Pill mode, please don't. If you aren't
absolutely positive of what it's going to do, then you're just going
to get yourself in trouble. You don't need it and you don't want it,
so don't use it.
