Look Switch broke me

Hi,
I just installed "Look Switcher" and it's great, except after logging out and back in, my whole screen is frozen... can't force the menu to open, can open console with Ctrl-Alt-T
Locked Frozen Broken.
Short of a reinstall, what do I do?

Thanks,
Ben

It's an HP TPN-C126

Is this on q4os TDE or KDE? Can you switch to a tty? Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 that should take you to a console, log in with your credentials and remove the problematic pkg

sudo apt-get remove --purge lookswitcher

reboot

sudo systemctl reboot

and check whether or not the problem's gone.

Hope this helps!
