I have a reoccurring issue when there's a new graphics driver update through the PopShop. Once the update begins the screen goes completely black and doesn't come back on.

Usually I wait a while and then I have to force shutdown the computer and then afterwards (if the driver finished updating) everything is fine.

Anyone know a workaround for this or some better solution?

Not sure what tmux is. I tried to open the terminal using the function commands but I was having a hard time remembering which one. I tried several keys and none of them were working.

Next time it has another update I'll try to be more prepared

tmux is a terminal multiplexer. Basically if you made the session in tmux, the terminal would still be an active session and you could pull it from another tty.

Or you could do it over ssh.
