No Desktop and no network after latest KDE Neon update (yeah I know it's an ubuntu forum)

Yes I know this is an Ubuntu forum but there isn't a forum for KDE Neon and since KDE neon is based on the latest ubuntu lts so it's almost like Kubuntu I figured what the heck.

Recently I updated my kde neon installation. After the installation was complete it said a restart was required. When I rebooted I saw the following message:
0.149184] Bios Error (bug): Failure creatring named object [\_SB.SMIC] ,
AE_Already_Exists (20190816/dswload2-326)
0.149202] ACPI Error: AE_Already_Exists, During name Lookup/catalog (20190816/psobject-220)
0.149207] ACPI Bios Error (bug): Failure creating named object [\_SB.SMIB] , AE_Already_Exists (20190816/dsfield-638)
0.226255] pci 0000:00:00.2: AMD-VI: Unable to read/write to IOMMU perf counter.
[ OK } Finished Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen.

I am using an ASrock B450 Pro4 motherboard with a RYZEN 5 2400G apu I'm using the onboard vega graphics virtualization support is turned on in the bios. Also I'm using the open source drivers for the on-board graphics.

The above error message was only displayed once now all I get is a black screen when I boot the pc. If I reboot the pc once things stop I can crtl-alt-F2 and get to a new log in prompt. I can log in and even start the desktop with startx. However there is no network connection so I can't use apt to fix the upgrade. Is there anyway to recover from this without reinstalling the os? Also I'm not sure if it's the os or the motherboard but I don't see the grub splash screen if I hold the shift key down during boot.
Thanks for any help.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=Cy2bUL2NKXA:SFLDS6mAL3w:F7zBnMy latest?i=Cy2bUL2NKXA:SFLDS6mAL3w:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=Cy2bUL2NKXA:SFLDS6mAL3w:gIN9vFwCy2bUL2NKXA
