Sick HTPC

(Sorry if you find this vverbose).

I have an HTPC running on  Linux Mint 21.3

It shares a Widescreen TV (as a monitor) with broadcast and streamed TV.

Whenever I switch back from TV to HDMI1 (that the HTPC uses), the sound
icon on the panel will have disappeared usually fixed with a reboot.

Yesterday on a reboot it hung. Nothing would overcome this.

I have two kernels installed: 5.15.0_173 generic and 174.

From the grub menu I can get into repair mode with either kernel.
From there I can continue to "normal boot" but the resultant display is
both wider and deeper than the screen and hides the panel.

By opening Nemo I can "open as root" and then open a root terminal.
Nemo however doesn't show either "File" nor can I see "Start", nor the
use [X] at top right for closing any application I might be able to
open.

It would be nice to able to boot up normally if only to create a
back up Mythtv's database and recordings before deconstructing this
machine and rebuilding it with modern components, originally planned
for later this year. 

I would welcome some ideas.

Kind regards,

Alan
