no, it's an internal drive. don't recall the brand.
I wish I knew which bits to reinstall.
I've deleted stuff from /tmp.
I've removed .ICEauthory and anything dcop-ish in /home.
I did a dist-upgrade.
I have another user set up for TDE but same log-in problem (of
course).
I have xfce4 which I can log into with ease.
ah, important to note this is devuan.
oh, lookie here! I checked out my refind and there's a Kubuntu
install - totally forgot! no problem logging in.
the problem install is on /dev/sda3; the kubuntu on /dev/sda2.
again, I wish I knew what needs reinstalling just to be able to log
back in.

Are you perchance running that SSD on a usb adapter? I've found the
startech version the only one that Just Works. I guess
instead of reinstalling everything you could
run debsums first to see if anything is broken.

the file system is working now but it's fragile in the sense that I
now get the ready-only problem, say every few days.
if I can help it, I don't want to reinstall at the moment. and I don't
have a current enough system-backup. not to mention I'm thinking it
may be time for a new SSD.
but I'll reinstall if I can't find a more surgical fix.
