What do you do when the electrical system fails?

I found this article on the Airbus 320, which has an all glass cockpit:

"The energy supply is backed up in several ways. Along with one
generator per engine, a third generator is powered by the APU. A fourth
power supply is available by extending a little fan generator into the
airstream. The chances of experiencing a complete power loss in an A320
are calculated to be at around one in one trillion. Should this happen,
the above mentioned mechanical system of the rudder and the elevator
trim ensure a safe landing."

Didn't a G5 lose ALL 5 Honeywell MFD's at the same time last year?
As I remember, it was the second time it had happened. An all "Black" glass
cockpit.
